Date entry problem
December 10, 2008, 05:15:11 pm
For some reason, the date drop-downs in CiviContribute are restricting us to the date range 2005-2009, and the javascript calendar is only offering 2003-2013. Where are these ranges set? I don't see anything in the UI that controls this.

Can you specify the page where you are having this issue ?

It arises when attempting to "Record offline contribution". Dates before 2005 are not being accepted, even if chosen using the JS popup.

Oh, and this client is using CiviCRM 1.9.13019.

You will have to modify, CRM/Contribution/Form/Contribution.php and change: (line around 366)

Quote
$element =& $this->add('date', 'receive_date', ts('Received'), CRM_Core_SelectValues::date('manual', 3, 1), false );

to

Quote
$element =& $this->add('date', 'receive_date', ts('Received'), CRM_Core_SelectValues::date('activityDate'), false );

Whoops. That seems to make things worse. The JS calendar still goes back only to 2003, and the dropdown selector now only contains the current year.

This allows the current year +- 20 years, which works for our purposes:

   $element =& $this->add('date', 'receive_date', ts('Received'), CRM_Core_SelectValues::date('relative'), false );

Not sure what version of Civi you're running (good to update your forum Profile) - but in recent versions you can modify the date ranges for various classes of dates from the Administer CiviCRM >> Global Settings >> Date Settings >> Advanced Date Input Settings screen.

http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/setting/preferences/date?reset=1 on the demo.
