    Default Date Problems in Salemaker and Specials

    Hi.

    I have encountered a problem when setting up these features. I tried to set up a sale starting tomorrow (25/12/2008) and ending on the 1st January (30/01/2009). On updating, both dates are changed to 30/11/2036. Manually updating the dates doesn't help.

    Can anybody help.

    Kind regards

    Philip

    Have you tried entering the date in MM/DD/YYYY format instead?

    Thanks DrByte, that sorted it. I thought I had "Anglicised" my date entries when I set the site up. Any idea which ones I have missed?

    Thanks for that Linda. I can't for the life of me remember the correct file in admin I need to edit. Could you jog my memory please?

    Many thanks

    No idea ...

    Right now the Admin is setup for MM/DD/YEAR

    Kind of a forced issue ... with the exception of banner manager which is goobered up at the moment ...

    The Catalog (storefront) is designed to allow display to be you way ...

    Never mind. The most important thing is that the problem is solved.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Thanks for posting your solution.

    I too have the same problem, UK dates set in admin, but unfortunately the pop up calendar allows you select the date, month and year and then converts them back to the US version.

    You need to manually enter the dates in the US format!!!(MM/DD/YYYY)
