Enter the stories as Admin

Authored by: Dirk on Sunday, May 05 2002 @ 11:59 pm EDT

The (Story)Admin can choose a date and time for a story. This is actually meant so that you can enter a story to automatically be published at a future date (e.g. when you're away at that time), but you can also use this to create stories with a date and time in the past.

Enter the stories as Admin

That\'s true, but only within the current calendar year. The drop-down box starts with the current year and goes forward.

I\'m sure I could make the changes with an SQL script if need be, but I\'d rather not take that route, since my SQL would probably be buggy...

Not totally accurate...

Dirk is not quite accurate in that statement. You can set the month/day and time to anytime in the past. You can\'t, however, set the year to a date in the past. What I would do is pick an arbitrary point in the future, say 01/01/2003 00:00:00. Assign all your story to that date/time. Then do this:

\"update stores set date = \'YYYY-DD-MM HH:MM:SS\' where date = \'2003-01-01 00:00:00\'\"

You can either do that story by story or on a batch at a time. NOTE: if all your plain HTML stories are from this year then you CAN just edit them in admin/story.php. If they are from 2001 or prior use this method.

The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.
