Previously if the date field was not enabled it would
be treated as having value 0. A bug would allow this 0
to pass through and save the date as 1 January 1970
version = planned 2015051100 release version
requires= current 2015050500 rc1 version
Note: On purpose, the course format social wrong version (2015102100)
has been kept unmodified. Looking forward a solution right now.
For example, a user may create a date/time profile field and set the 'Start year'
field to '2012'. Another user, using the Hijri calendar, may edit the name of
this field. They visit the settings page and in this case the date '1/1/2012'
is converted to '7/2/1433' in Hijri. So, the year '1433' is then displayed.
The user then changes the name of this field and saves the form. This is where
the issue occurs, as the date '1/1/1433' is converted into Gregorian, which
converts to the year '26/09/2011', so the year '2011' is saved in the DB, not
'2012'.
1) Moved the calendar types location to a sub-folder in the calendar directory.
2) Removed/moved language strings.
3) Removed calendar types that should be downloaded as plugins.
4) Removed a Non-English language pack for the Gregorian calendar type that
should be downloaded separately.
5) Removed custom files responsible for checking for updates and uninstalling
calendar types, which should be done by core.
6) Removed JS from the calendar_month block as there is no non-JS alternative
provided and the JS written does not make use of the YUI library to ensure
multiple browser support.
7) Removed code from the base class responsible for creating timestamps that
are saved in the DB.
8) Added PHPDocs.
Note: In the original patch we are editing core functions responsible for saving
time in the database in the calendar base class. This is very dangerous, we do
not want to touch these functions as it could cause a complete fubar of the
database. There are places we are forcing the use of the gregorian calendar as
we are passing dates generated by the PHP date function, where as sometimes
we pass dates from usergetdate (which was being overwritten to return the
date specific to the calendar). We can not expect third party modules to
change the calendar type depending on the format they pass to these functions.
Major tasks undertaken in this patch:
* New format_text argument, overflowdiv.
* New page layout Report.
* Review of all format_text calls.
* Added support for the report layout to all themes.
* Changed forum post display from tables to divs.
Please forgive me if I have missed converting any output statements. If you do find an output statement that is not formatting correctly please refere to the table I added to this bug in regards to how it should be formatted.
