Description

Creation of tracker items with relative dates from profiles shows the right date in view item but empty when editing item

By relative dates I mean something like:

Copy to clipboard
+1 day 2 hours


(See more: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php )

See it reproduced in the show instance of this other bug report (item5254):

http://xavi-9794-5254.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=4
u: admin
p: 12345

This item was created through applying the profile "Tracker_as_Calendar_12"

Defined as:

Copy to clipboard
type: tracker_item
  ref: event_004
  data:
   tracker: $Tracker_as_Calendar_12:trac_as_cal
   status: open
   values:
    - [ $Tracker_as_Calendar_12:trac_as_cal_summary, A big conference ]
    - [ $Tracker_as_Calendar_12:trac_as_cal_location, room 2.3 (15 seats)  ]
    - [ $Tracker_as_Calendar_12:trac_as_cal_start_date, +1 day ]
    - [ $Tracker_as_Calendar_12:trac_as_cal_end_date, +1 day 2 hours]
    - [ $Tracker_as_Calendar_12:trac_as_cal_priority, 5 ]
    - [ $Tracker_as_Calendar_12:trac_as_cal_description, "I'm really looking forward to attending at this event." ]


Which produced, once applied, something like:

Summary A big conference
Location room 2.3 (15 seats)
Priority 5
Description I'm really looking forward to attending at this event.
Start date 2014-05-28 12:58

When clicking at edit, no start or end date are shown in the form, and the icon to open the popup helper to fix the dates is not shown either.

And then, in the wiki page to display items as calendar events ( http://xavi-9794-5254.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Tracker_as_Calendar_12 ), this event is not displayed either.

Solution

As lph indicated, there is a function already in place to convert relative dates and profile application time.

D(+1 day 2 hours)

See the documentation in profiles.t.o

Workaround
note: mani is having a look to see if he can fix.
