1.5beta1 - calender-addon date-bug.

[eon]

Thank to TomR --> http://forum.pixelpost.org/showthread.php?p=22019

The calander-addon gives the wrong day by the date. You can see this only in the normal-mode.

Example:
4 jan 2006 gives Thursday, but must be Wednesday.

The bug is in Pixelpost 1.5, but also in earlier versions (test Pixelpost 1.4.3)

i remember this bug! i think... i was looking at it for ages - at least it was a bug in the calendar - i think it was the same bug.

i was totally stuck for what was wrong. perhaps somebody else will have more luck.

Maybe because monday was in the year 2005?

Total Super Wildguess (without logical thinking)

same problem happens with archive-calendar-addon
I use it in a more refined way, but the script is one of the oldest scripts which Punk wrote and I just noticed this problem as well

The problem is only when the first day of the month is a sunday.

Like on oktober 2006.

Has to be something to do with ~row 88:
$first_day_month = date("w", mktime(0,0,0,$curr_month,1,$curr_year));
This row gives an "0" on Sunday, but it has to be an "7".

www.php.net date()
w | Numeric representation of the day of the week | 0 (for Sunday) through 6 (for Saturday)

Solution addons/calender.php ~row 88:
$first_day_month = date("w", mktime(0,0,0,$curr_month,1,$curr_year));
if ($first_day_month=="0"){$first_day_month="7";}

that corrects the date, thanks for the tip!

But the formatting of the table is still wrong, the "</tr><tr>" are not correct
in the archivecalendar-Addon

Unfortunately I am too tired in the moment to fix that, had too stressy day today..

we must fix that and we will fix that, I am sure ...

I fixed the bug for the "normal" calendar in image_template.html like eon suggested
