Geeklog Forums

Hi!

When I try to set an article to be deleted or archived automatically I get a really nice error telling me that Windows does not support negative values..., and then the whole geeklog shows this message (well not the admin interface) so what I have to do then is to edit the database table for stories and delete that post and then GL is working agian. I also get the same problem when I´m using the function for articles not to be published directly, later on so to speak.

From the beginning I only got the "normal error" telling me: "Unfortunately, an error has occurred rendering this page. Please try again later" but after chaning to ROOT debug I could se the message here down under.

I use:
* Geeklog 1.5.1rc1
* Windows Server 2003
* MySQL server 5.0
* PHP 4.x
* IIS

ERROR MESSAGE:
---------------------------- Snipp ---------------------------------

An error has occurred:
(This text is only displayed to users in the group 'Root'

------------------------------------ Snapp -------------------------------

The paramaters in the file "configuration.php"
- Language: Swedish
- Locale: en_GB

Everything els is "Geeklog default" so to speak.

Any good idea´s?

Won't help with the actual problem, but you probably want to change the Locale to Swedish_Sweden.

I'm not on Windows so can't reproduce the problem, but I'll ask someone to look into it.

Hi Dirk,

That would be great, it´s really frustrating this. I´ve been using Mambo and Joomla earlier on and theese cms have always been working good, almost "right out the box" but with GL I´ve been experiencing a lot of problems.

Thnx!

I just tried auto delete and auto archive of stories and didn't have any problems. Specs are similar to your except geeklog 1.5.1 and PHP 5

I can't recreate this either...

Can you give me the content of the gl_stories entry for a story that breaks your site and the exact version of php you are running?

Have you made changes to the date format variables at all?

Thanks,

Mike

Ah I think I've found a fix.

Open system/classes/story.php find (at line 1455 to 1464 in function DisplayElements):



Replace with:



It looks like there is a bug technically, but, it doesn't bother PHP5 installs, which happen to work correctly despite the fact that DisplayElements returns false for expiry date instead of the actual expiry date. But it crashes PHP4.

If you can confirm this works, I'll book the fix in.

Mike

Hello!

I did the changes in the story.php file (system/classes/story.php find (at line 1455 to 1464 in function DisplayElements) and it really did the work!

Thanks Mike, I would never ever fix that kind of problem on my own! And thanks everybody else for your help! :-)
