Fatal error: Call to undefined method Localize::decode_date in /system/expressionengine/libraries/Functions.php(688) : eval()'d code on line
Development and Programming
I’m upgrading from EE 2.5.2 to 2.9 and I’m getting this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method Localize::decode_date() in /system/expressionengine/libraries/Functions.php(688) : eval()’d code on line 11
When I look at that file though there is nothing on line 11. Line 11 is where all this stuff is: * ExpressionEngine - by EllisLab * * @package ExpressionEngine * @author EllisLab Dev Team * @copyright Copyright (c) 2003 - 2014, EllisLab, Inc. * @license http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/license.html * @link http://ellislab.com * @since Version 2.0 * @filesource */
What is causing this? How do I fix it?
I fixed this by changing decode_date to format_date. Even though I read somewhere that “format” is “deprecated” and we should be using “decode_date” instead apparently that is not the case because when I changed that in my template it worked and I stopped getting that error.
