anne martinet	Thursday 26 June 2008 5:44:16 am Hi! In one of my classes, I use the type Date for my attribute date. But when I instanciate this attribute like this: Day :01 Month : 09 Year : 1952 My draft couldn't be stored! And with these values: Day : 01 Month : 09 Year : 2000 I didn't have any problemes! Why? Thanks.
Laurent BOURREL	Thursday 26 June 2008 6:49:08 am Hi, This is a normal feature of the date attribute. the storage is based on a unix timestamp. As you can see in http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/reference/datatypes/date : "The valid input range is 01.01.1970 - 19.01.2038." So it's a problem for a birthday date for example... If you really need a Date to store your attribute (ie you need some date formats or transformations in your templates), you should have a look to the birthday datatype : http://ez.no/developer/contribs/datatypes/birthday_datatype. i don't know if it's ok for the last eZ versions...

Hi!

In one of my classes, I use the type Date for my attribute date. But when I instanciate this attribute like this:

   Day :01
   Month : 09
   Year : 1952

My draft couldn't be stored!

And with these values:

    Day : 01
    Month : 09
    Year : 2000

I didn't have any problemes!
Why?

Thanks.
