I have played with changing order of plugins and deactivating plugins to the point of only event calendar is activated. Still same results. Of further note - between upgrading from 0.8 to 0.85 I temporarily added a custom profile field to add members birthday - deleted it as soon as I figured out it wouldnt display a birthday before 1-1-70. Not sure of any effect - but if I reinstall 0.8 it will give correct date after saving.

Get the version in:

Thanks for your reply Kevin. That appears to be the version of EV_0.85 that I am using. I initially upgraded to what must be an earlier version of 0.85 (6e3d519), it did not have the recurring event dates for the full calendar and Blue Button option, I had the problem with date saving as 1 day earlier with that one. I then upgraded to the version you refer to, now getting 1-1-70 on all edits and new events.

So I did download a fresh version (that is 75bd3af) and tried again today. Same result.

It's odd that I can deactivate and delete 0.85, upload and activate 0.8 or 0.84 and get the dates to save correctly. Then deactivate and delete that version. Reupload and activate 0.85. the events display correctly but if I try to add an event or do any edit on the existing event the date will be saved as Jan 1 1970.

Very perplexing....

Do you get the same result in several different browsers?

Ouch, tunnel vision, got what I deserved..... Yes thanks Kevin. Problem with Firefox 8.0.1 on Intel MAC.

All is good in FF3.6.28 on PPC MAC, 16.0.2 on Intel MAC, Safari 4.1.3 on MAC PPC, Safari 5.1.2 on Intel MAC and IE8 on Windows PC. Sorry to waste discussion space.

Thanks for the excellent plugin... and your time

If someone still have this problem with newest version:

in model.php find lines, where $event->start_date and $event->end_date are set.

Then replace fragments like that:

$start_date_text = get_input('start_date');
if($start_date_text && isValidTimeStamp($start_date_text)){
$event->start_date = $start_date_text;
}
else{
$event->start_date = time();
}

$end_date_text = get_input('end_date');
//$event->original_end_date = get_input('end_date');
if ($end_date_text && isValidTimeStamp($end_date_text)) {
$event->end_date = $end_date_text;
//$event->munged_end_date_string = $end_date_text." ".date_default_timezone_get();
} else {
$event->end_date = time();
}

I've added here function isValidTimestamp, because when you do not choose a date, it will not be set to timestamp, so it will be 1960 year. If user dont choose date - we have an event today. isValidTimestamp:

function isValidTimeStamp($timestamp){

return ((string) (int) $timestamp === $timestamp)
&& ($timestamp <= PHP_INT_MAX)
&& ($timestamp >= ~PHP_INT_MAX);
}
