Overriding start/stop dates in VIEWS not working

[Anthony Ramos]

Mahara: 1.3.3
SunOS java 5.11
PHP 5.2.6
MySQL
Chrome 9.0.597.102, Mozilla 3.6.13, Safari 5.0.3

When you click on EDIT ACCESS in VIEWS the OVERRIDING START/STOP DATES do not seem to be working.

I made a view (created by user A) visible only to another user (called B) and B could correctly see that View when B was logged in.

Then I logged in as A and specified a date range in VIEWS/EDIT ACCESS/OVERRIDING START/STOP DATES that incorporated today's date (and therefore should still be visible). However, when I logged in as B I could now not see that view.

When I logged in as A and removed the OVERRIDING START/STOP DATES and clicked SAVE, B could then see the view once again.

Hi Richard and Hugh,

Can you reproduce this bug?

I should add that when I was on demo.mahara.org only a few minutes ago
and edited my view and added weblink access (secret URL) leaving its
corresponding From and To date boxes empty BUT setting the OVERRIDING
 From and To dates both set to a date in the past I could still access
the view using the link. That is the To date doesn't seem to be
working. I cleared the cache to make sure it wasn't displaying due to
a cached browser and it doesn't seem to be.

To see this bug you can login to demo.mahara.org and search for user
"anthonyramos" and see my TESTVIEW with from and to dates of: 11-
May-11 with the secret URL.

I'd be keen to hear if you can test this and reproduce it or not.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

The patch for this was supposed to be in the last lot of releases, but unfortunately I left it out.

[Anthony Ramos (planetjupiter08)]

Hi Richard,

My apologies but I am a bit confused as I have noted 2 bugs. Just to
clarify can you please confirm the following:

- Bug 722470 is a result of our version of PHP. To fix this we will
need to go to PHP 5.3 as there is no other fix. Is that correct?

- Bug 722475: Is a recognized bug and will be fixed by the following
patch:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/71612198/0001-Fix-start-stop-date-overrides-bug-722475-bug-746182.patch

I have not installed a patch before. Can I simply add the lines with a
"+" and delete the lines with a "-" to the existing file: htdocs/lib/
mahara.php
to fix this bug?

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

Yes, you can add lines with '+' and remove lines with '-', that's basically what the patch program does. However, that fix is already on the 1.3 branch, so instead of applying the patch, you can just get a whole new tarball from here:

 https://gitorious.org/mahara/mahara/archive-tarball/1.3_STABLE

I'm not sure what's causing bug #722470, I'll write a reply on that bug report.

Hi Richard,

Is this tarball the latest stable version of Mahara?

Thanks,

A

Well, it's just a tarball generated from the tip of the 1.3 git branch, so in a sense it's more recent than the latest 1.3.6 release: the version number will be set to something like 1.3.7-testing.
