I apologize if this has been addressed, but I cannot find the code to make it work:

I am trying to edit the lib_common.php or the admin/story.php to allow a story to be backdated. I currently can only backdate to 2006, and need as far back as 2001 at least. (Moving old blogs to this wonderful Geeklog). I found a snippet to backdate Calender events, but it doesn't apply to stories

the
$start_year = 1999;
I found in the events thread doesn't apply to the lib_common or story.php, AS they don't have a
for( $i = $start_year; $i <= $cur_year + 5; $i++ )

In fact I cant find how the cur date is chosen in either of those pages >.<

Search for COM_getYearFormOptions in lib-common.php and change
the $start_year - 1 to $start_year - 8 or 2000 or whatever you need.

To clarify this, inputting a number like 20 will allow you to go back 20 yrs from the current year. So todays year of 2007, putting 20 before this will set the start year to 1987.
