Actually, POSIX timestamps display dates after 1970. Using negative timestamps for people born before 1970 is not a standard thing. But we moved to MySQL DATE rather than INT timestamp to make complex SQL queries on user birthdays (ticket #313). For example, you can easily select users who have birthday today, without selecting all users and passing them to PHP.

just a question! why is the birthdate not an posix code anymore?

# Trustmaster : It was in Cotonti 0.0.6 updating from 0.0.5 guide, see point 4.

Here is the explaination:
4. Copy sql/patch-0.0.6.txt, save it in your site root as patch.php, run in web browser like http://your-domain.tld/patch.php and then remove patch.php from your site.

Can somebody break down the steps for me regarding the birthdays that are set to 30-11-1999?

I'm running the latest version of Cotonti and upgraded from the latest Seditio (v130) version.

Thanks in advance.

Yep, I forgot it as well (simply overlooked it as I was concentrating on the main db patches) when we did the move to Cotonti on our live site, but simply applying the patch afterwards works just fine. At least as far as I can tell up until now.

But if you do more then one step.

You take the latest version and to all sql step by step.
but the patch is not indicated. Maybe at it in the readme in the sql dir.

It was in Cotonti 0.0.6 updating from 0.0.5 guide, see point 4.

This did the trick, so the ticket can be closed.

In the readme or install there is no instruction about it.
Maybe at it for users that upgrade from seditio or an older version.

To check whether you have applied it or not, see the sed_users table structure in phpMyAdmin. If user_birthdate has type DATE then you have, if user_birthdate has type INT then you haven't and you should do it now.

For the moment: 0.6.8(r1232) / 0.6.8
Upgraded from LDU
Patch? I don't know if I did apply it, can we still do it?

I'm sorry but setting this option is neccessary and required since PHP 5.3. This is not unique to Cotonti, the timezone just has to be configured in any PHP application (since 5.3) that uses date functions. So I consider this bug to be "solved" now.

Added 1 hour 59 minutes later:

As for the birthday problem please answer these questions:

Which Cotonti ver. are you running?
Have you updated it from earlier versions?
If updating from 0.0.5 or earlier, have you ever ran a PHP patcher sql/patch-0.6.txt as a PHP script in root folder?

GMT is uk indeed. So +1 in admin should be sufficient, but not.
Trustmaters rather simple solution fixed it (feel kinda dumb coz it never crossed my to change it in config.php)

пт, 13 авг 2010 16:25:18 -0000

Yeah GMT is UK i think....

Trustmaster

пт, 13 авг 2010 16:01:22 -0000

So set it to a correct value like:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Amsterdam');

@ trustmaster

I'm not at home right now, but I will let you know by tomorrow.

Added 12 hours 33 minutes later:

It the same in my config.php as in your example Trustmaster

Trustmaster

Please check this part of your datas/config.php:

// ========================
// Default built-in time zone settings
// See http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
// ========================
date_default_timezone_set('GMT');

It makes sense as well as those offsets your set in AdminCP.

Added 4 days later:

Bump! Please let me know if you still have problems with correct default timezone.

Indeed it's not the biggest problem in the world, but still I really would like to see a solution for this.

Kingsley

Twiebie

вт, 03 авг 2010 17:46:14 -0000

Yes i'm running the latest version. (0.6.9)
Server time zone: +1
Default time zone: +1

Are you using the latest version? Because the age-problem was on old bug.

In 0.6.3 the user birthday problem was solved: See http://www.cotonti.com/news/announce/genoa_063_released

What is written in
Server timezone and default timezone?

Just finished setting up a new website based on Cotonti and I used Seditio previously and I always had the timezone set to GMT+1 (which is where the server is). But Cotonti is showing a completely different time than it actually is in the GMT+1 zone?

Another thing; Cotonti sets the age of all the users automatically to 1999-November-30, and it's impossible for the user to correct this because after updating the profile it just jumps back again.

Thanks.
