CiviMail: "Start date cannot be earlier than the current time" for later today
March 30, 2010, 08:30:37 am
Hi,

When scheduling a mailing for later today, I get the error "Start date cannot be earlier than the current time". CRM_Mailing_Form_Schedule::formRule checks the start_date field:
Code: [Select]
        if (CRM_Utils_Date::format( CRM_Utils_Date::processDate( $params['start_date'] ) ) < date('YmdHi00') ) {
            return array('start_date' =>
                ts('Start date cannot be earlier than the current time.'));
        }

However this field only contains the date, not the time, hence the observed behaviour. Confirmed with debug statement:

Code: [Select]
  CRM_Mailing_Form_Schedule::formRule: $params['start_date'] '03/30/2010', date('YmdHi00'): '20100330202600'

Hi,
We are experiencing the same issue and I was able to replicate this on the 3.1 demo.

Thanks,
Cynthia

Please file an issue for this and we’ll fix it for CiviCRM 3.1 (and/or 3.2).
If you found the above helpful, please consider helping us in return – you can even steer CiviCRM’s future and help us extend CiviCRM in ways useful to you.

Hi Alfred,

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-6048 shows fix version 3.1.4, which was released yesterday. Haven't tested this yet.
