Start date cannot be earlier than the current time.
September 21, 2011, 11:32:57 am
I am writing about the  "Start date cannot be earlier than the current time." error for CiviMail that appears to have been fixed in 3.1.4 (http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-6048?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Achangehistory-tabpanel) but we are running 3.4.5 and are having the same issue. Before dig through the code I wanted to see if anyone else has this issue or anything other know. 

Thanks,
Steve

We changed date widgets in between those two releases, and i had to guess this bug got reintroduced due to that

We changed the following code and appears to have fixed the problem.

Lines 217 through 221 on sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Mailing/Form/Schedule.php

Code: [Select]
   if (CRM_Utils_Date::format( CRM_Utils_Date::processDate( $params['start_date'],
                                                                  $params['start_date_time'] ) ) < CRM_Utils_Date::format(date('YmdHi00')) ) {
             return array('start_date' =>
                          ts('Start date cannot be earlier than the current time.'));
         }

My developer was not sure there was a real problem with the other code so he did not want to open a ticket to change the code. Let me know if we should.

Thanks,
Steve
