Calendar 5 download

Hi Jeff,

I just uploaded a clean copy of the zickey_calendar5.zip file, both here and on the original post. Try downloading it again.

BTW: You'll have to look at Sept, Oct and November 2011 to see  test results on the demo at http://www.thecmsbcookbook.com/calendar5.php

NOTE Zip file updated 8/4/14 per Jeff Shields' suggestion

Best,

I just discovered a bug in the calendar5.php

strtotime('0000-00-00 00:00:00') on a 64 bit system does not return false as expected but -62169984000, which according to the PHP manual is the expected behaviour.

so:

foreach ($eventsRecords as $record) {   

   if (strtotime($record['end_date'])) {

does not return the correct result

corrected code s/b

foreach ($eventsRecords as $record) {
    if ($record['end_date'] != '0000-00-00 00:00:00') {

modified version attached

Thanks Jeff

I have been using a plugin that Dave Edis made a while ago that takes care of blank dates and other fields that are blank, and have attached it here.

Could you see if that works without your fix.

Thanks,

i saw that plugin before but ruled it out, the default for a blank date in mysql is 0000-00-00 00:00:00.

Didn't see why we should hack it when we can use the natural default just as easily. IMHO

A blank date evals to a negative number and not false on 64 bits systems, this is due to the size of a big int being twice as large as 32 bit systems.

strtotime('') does not eval to false on 64 bit systems. 

What happens with the calendar on a 64 bit system is that the one day events are not shown ever, no error is thrown.

Thanks again Jeff,

I'll update the calendar
