If I make a new task, the DATE TAB has todays date in the START field.

I pick a start and an end time, hit DURATION, and I get...

"End date is before start date!"

Well, not really. "Finish Date" is just empty.

If I hit "Finsh Date" button, the date field populates itself,and then DURATION will work.

Shouldn't DURATION assume "Finish Date" , based upon end time, like "Finish Date" does?

Hello phpWalter,

I see that you're new to dotProject. Welcome: we're happy to have you.

I've read the several posts that you've written today but before we start discussing each one, I notice that you're running php 5 and mysql 5. Unfortunately, neither of those versions are supported at this time. Many errors relative to time / date / comparison calculation, much like those you have reported, are due to you running these never versions of php and mysql. If possible, please try to downgrade as doing so just might fix you up. If that's not possible, then I suggest that you search the forums for the many discussions regarding running dP on those newer versions where you'll learn how other dP users have suggested minor modifications.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

MOTE,

I did as you suggested.

I'm now running:
* PHP 4.4.2
* mySQL 4.1.16
* Apache 2.0.54


My question still stands.

Walter

Shouldn't DURATION assume "Finish Date" , based upon end time, like "Finish Date" does?Probably should. Someone will look into it.

MOTE

Probably should. Someone will look into it.

MOTE

Yea!

You "da man!"

Thanks.

Walter

Probably should. Someone will look into it.You'll notice, however, that if you pick today as the start date (from the calendar popup) then the finish date is auto-completed. Right?

Bear in mind, Walter, our development time is now concentrated on the v3.0 release (the CVS HEAD branch) so little nuisances like these won't be addressed in the current version. That's not to say that if you identify a REAL bug, then that won't be addressed but little bitty stuff won't get the developer's attention in the v2.?? code.

Cool?

P.S. If you're curious you could always setup an off-line HEAD version to see what the developers are up to. It's currently VERY unstable but at least you'll be able to see a bit of dP's future.

Right. Saw that. Real nice!

Fair enough. I hope you can keep it in mind for the next version.

Love to!

Once I get my new dev box built.
