Sanity Check: mdp_UpcomingEventList working w/ RC3?

OK, could very well be that I’m an idiot and am missing something obvious but is anyone else having trouble with this plugin?

My articles won’t show up in a clean install of RC3. I have an article, pub date set to March 23, 2005 in the “events” section. Here’s the tag I’m using on the Default page:

txp:mdp_UpcomingEventList section=“events” dateformat=“l j F”

…when I view the site, I get a totally blank page.

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply, brian. So, I guess I’m not going crazy…

Read this, then update your “dateformat” attribute.

Re: Sanity Check: mdp_UpcomingEventList working w/ RC3?

welp, that didn’t seem to work. i changed the date() function on line 67 in the plug-in to strftime() and i still got the blank page.

bz, if i change the tag to a different section, the page comes back. are you seeing this, too? and when you view source, do you see the start of the tag? i’m seeing:

ul id=“upcomingevents” / ul

so half of it is working.

Re: Sanity Check: mdp_UpcomingEventList working w/ RC3?

strftime uses different format specifiers. (The same ones used by C, Java, Python and just about every other language. date() is PHP-only and English-only, which is why we switched)

Here’s the official word: I’m crazy busy right now with school and life, I hope to look at the code a little over this weekend and see if I can find the problem. Earliest I can give any kind of information is Sunday afternoon. Most likely, mdp_lib won’t really be needed anymore.

hey, thanks greenrift! totally understand about you being slammed with school and life. brain.z was kind enough to forward a workaround to me on how to publish articles in the future so no worries on my end.

if you do ever get around to updating the plugin, guess i can catch it in the plugin list?
