Hi!

In one of my classes, I use the type Date for my attribute date. But when I instanciate this attribute like this:

   Day :01
   Month : 09
   Year : 1952

My draft couldn't be stored!

And with these values:

    Day : 01
    Month : 09
    Year : 2000

I didn't have any problemes!
Why?

Thanks.

Hi,

This is a normal feature of the date attribute. the storage is based on a unix timestamp. As you can see in http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/reference/datatypes/date : "The valid input range is 01.01.1970 - 19.01.2038."

So it's a problem for a birthday date for example...

If you really need a Date to store your attribute (ie you need some date formats or transformations in your templates), you should have a look to the birthday datatype :
