[Solved]: Problem with banning

[ornic]

Hello all!

When I ban a user and choose "5 hours" is became "03:33:20 01 Jan 1970 MSK". Is there problem with Coppermine or OS setup?
"Timezone difference relative to GMT" is set to 3.

[Joachim Müller]

you can't use relative time settings like "5 hours", you have to use an absolute time in Unix format.

It will be very useful for such field to count relative time from now(). May this topic be moved to "Feature requests"?

[Joachim Müller]

moved to feature requests. Will need some looking into...

The problem solved in CVS. Thanx a lot! Calendar is great!
But there is still some small issure:
\include\init.inc.php
=================
$now = time();
db_query("DELETE FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_BANNED']} WHERE expiry < $now");
=================
should be (in our variant: PHP Version 4.3.7, Linux 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 Fedore Core)
=================
$now = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
db_query("DELETE FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_BANNED']} WHERE expiry < '$now'");
=================
to proper deleting old bans from base

The calendar is only in the devel branch of the cvs so far - you mustn't use devel files unless you really, really know what you're doing. Additionally, there's no support for devel versions at all.

The devel branch is the only version for now where the banning system working. So we had no choice. And i decided to to help people who in the same situation.

Just for information: is there the place for user to post such information (possible issures on devel branch)?

IMHO this request may be marked as [solved].

[Joachim Müller]

there is only one place where issues on the devel branch of the cvs will be discussed: the closed developer board. Devel simply isn't meant for "regular" users, unless you can live with bugs and fix them for yourself.

I have just committed fixes to the stable branch as well, they should show up in webcvs in a short while.
