Hi-

I looked for a solution to my problem in the forum, but I didn't find anything so I'm posting a new message. Here goes :) ::

I've imported my dbman flatfile db to dbmanSQL and all the dates are coming up as 0000-00-00. The format I used in dbman is MMM-DD-YYYY. So inorder for both formats to match I changed the Date.pm so that the format is MMM-DD-YYYY. However, this didn't help. What else do I need to change so that the date doesn't come up as all zeros?

Thanks!

Anyone out there? There's probably a very simple solution to this problem, but I don't know what the solution is....help please



I tried adding the following subroutine:

sub {
my $field_name = shift;
my $tags = GT::Template->tags;
my $home = $tags->{home};
require GT::Date;
$home->{db}->cols->{$field_name} = GT::Date::date_set_format('%mmm%-%dd%-%yyyy%');
return $values->{$field_name};
}



But it doesn't work.. :(

Have you called this template global within your templates? if not, you should add:

<%template_global_name%> into your templates.

Btw, you will find so many threads which concern with this issue on our forum.

I looked through all of the threads, but I couldn't figure out how to solve the problem.

Also, yes I did call the subroutine from within my templates:

<%format_date('creationdate')%>

I also tried:

<%format_date(creationdate)%>

but all I get is errors. Is my subroutine correct?

Can you post the error message?

I get the following error:
