Date Issue
Noticed that the date string does not show the whole year format when I enter it... the example dates all have full years.

Planning Module 1.2 solves problem with 4 digit years. We also added date format setting to Administration so you don't have to do it via PHP files anymore.
acGarage customers will be automatically upgraded in next few days. Others can download latest version using download link in Purchase confirmation email.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Could you tell more about this? Where exactly does this occur? What did you enter and what did you expect to see?
We are using DD/MM/YY format for dates everywhere. -
Inappropriate?The demo dates (the ones you guys entered) are fixed @ DD/MM/YYYY.
Just a consistency issue...
Anything a user enters returns @ DD/MM/YY
Definitely not big deal, just an FYI
I’m could not be happier
-
Inappropriate?Sorry! My bad. Had hard coded dates in the demo data. Have fixed them to be two digit years now.
I’m happy

Yes. Date format support is built in. You will have to dig into the PHP source code to change this for now. But we are planning an Admin interface to take care of it.
If you can wait for the admin interface, please do.
If you want to change this now, we will write up a small note. Let us know. -
Inappropriate?We would need the US date format as well. However, we have users in Europe who may use the system.... Would we need to settle on one over the other?
I’m just dandy

Date formats for Planning & Reports module are currently system wide. So yes, you will have to settle for one format.
-
Inappropriate?Ok, no big problem, the amount of users having access to the planner is not too large and I can only see 1 or 2 using that module in Europe in the foreseeable future.
We would primarily use US date formatting
I’m fine as can be

Inappropriate?I am having heaps of problems with the dates. We are based in Australia.
Summary: when I enter a date in Australian (DD/MM/YYYY 04/12/2009) it turns it into American format (MM/DD/YYYY 12/04/2009) but it also thinks the date is now 4th April 2009 everywhere and I am left with a wrong date, in American format
1) I tried to enter a ticket due on 4rd December 2009 in planning module so I enter 04/12/2009. What happens is that it automatically change it to display in American format 12/04/2009
2) What happens though is that we have it setup as European/Australian in aC so when I go into the ticket it displays as 12th April 2009
3) Under the Timeline it is also set on 12th April 2009 (it is as if it was reading it the European way from the outline mode)
How shall we proceed?
I’m looking for help, fast!

Open init.php file in Planning module. You will find PHP code that defines the date format. Change it to DD/MM/YY. You will be able to do this easily, there is a comment about it in the code.
The next release of Planning module will allow setting date format from Admin panel. (Coming in less than a week). -
Inappropriate?Hi Nirav,
It appears that is already in this format DD/MM/YY. This is a direct copy of our init.php in the planning module folder:
('PLANNING_SEND_NOTIFICATIONS_ON_SAVE', false);
// What format to use for dates? - This can be different from the system wide setting
// defined in admin
define('PLANNING_DATE_FORMAT', 'd/m/y');
define('PLANNING_DATE_FORMAT_FLEX', 'DD/MM/YY'); // Only Two Options: "DD/MM/YY" and "MM/DD/YY"
// Not yet used
//define('PLANNING_ITERATIONS_TO_PLAN', 3);
//define('PLANNING_VELOCITY_HOURS', 40);1 Comment Add a comment

Hi Fabie,
I checked your system and yes, there is a problem with dates if you enter year in 4 digits. We will fix the problem in the next release.
But Planning module allows you to add dates with two digit years, and just a date, or just a date and month. So you can enter just 4/12 for December 4th. Or 4/12/09.
Let us know if it works with you this way.

Inappropriate?Hi Nirav
Thanks for looking into it for next release. What happens if I enter 09 is the system thinks it is 1909!!! Have you noticed this before?

Didn't see 09 taken as 1909 earlier. Not even in my test I did on your server. But will check on that and put a fix in next release.

Inappropriate?yip, was a real nightmare, had these huge milestones in my timelines and didn't know why. might be related to the USA display.
For now I am entering dates in USA format using 2009 (instead of 09) and that works! -
