Wrong date displays only in Latest article module option… in Most read version, the date is fine…

In both cases, most read and latest, the date is taken by the code in helper.php:
[php]if ($showdate) {
$lists [$i]->date = strtotime ( $row->modified ) ? $row->created : $row->modified;
}[/php]

It means that in both cases, the date should be either correct or wrong… In my installation, in both cases the dates are OK.

Still, as a variant, maybe this code would resolve the issue (I haven’t checked it by myself)
[php]
if ($showdate) {
$lists [$i]->date = strtotime ( $row->created );
}
[/php]

Thanx, I’ll try this later, but first check your PM.

Yes, I see that in dates in Latest seems to be not correct…
Could you try to use my hacked Bulletin module and report the result?

Thanx, I installed your module, but the date is still 30.11.99 :((

only way is to open each article, and save it without changes. in that case, the module works like it should.

So, I have a lot job to do… thank you again and good day 🙂

OK, the issue is clear. More accurate approach (implemented in my hacked version of the module) is:

in helper.php line
[php]
if ($showdate) {
$lists [$i]->date = strtotime ( $row->modified ) ? $row->created : $row->modified;
}
[/php]

should be replaced with

[php]
if ($showdate) {
$lists [$i]->date = strtotime ( $row->modified == ‘0000-00-00 00:00:00’) ? $row->created : $row->modified;
}
[/php]
