This question may be related to a resolved thread.

Hi Shane, Kevin,

I’m sorry to re-open this thread but I can’t be agree with your response.
Let say I’m creating a new entry, but I need to set the entry date in the future (or, let’s be crazy, in the past). The edit_date will be in that case in the future (or in the past)... which is not really accurate… right?

I checked the history of the Api_channel_entries.php… and the edit_date was correctly set:

'edit_date'     => date("YmdHis"),

which is correct, and has been replaced by:

'edit_date'     => $this->EE->localize->decode_date('%Y%m%d%H%i%s', $data['entry_date'], TRUE),

which is obviously not right… right?

Should I open a bug report?

Cheers,

Pv

Hi Pv Ledoux,

No, you’re right. No need to open a bug report. We came to the conclusion after closing that thread that edit date should obviously be independent of the entry date in case the entry date isn’t set to “now”. I’ll update this thread with the code changes. Thanks for adding your comments, Pv!

Great! Thanks a lot!

Pv

Have a good one, Pv.
