Incorrect datetime value: '0' for column 'Expires' error in Txp 4.0.7

I’m receiving a ‘Incorrect datetime value: ‘0’ for column ‘Expires’ at row 1’ error message when attempting to update and existing article.

Here are the steps that lead to this error:

1. In the ‘write’ section of the TXP Admin, create an article – enter text in title and body and excerpt sections.
2. Without filling in any other fields, publish the article. (You can select a section if required.)
3. Go to the ‘articles’ section of the Admin and click on the title of the article you just added to edit it.
4. Change a word or two anywhere in the content you’ve entered then click ‘Save’.

Result: The changes are not saved and the following error message is received:

// ——————————————————————————————— //
Warning: Incorrect datetime value: ‘0’ for column ‘Expires’ at row 1 update textpattern set Title = ‘blah’, Body = ‘blah’, Body_html = ‘
blah’, Excerpt = ‘blah’, Excerpt_html = ‘blah’, Keywords = ‘’, Image = ‘’, Status = 4, LastMod = now(), LastModID = ‘name’, Section = ‘blog’, Category1 = ‘’, Category2 = ‘’, Annotate = 0, textile_body = 1, textile_excerpt = 1, override_form = ‘’, url_title = ‘blah’, AnnotateInvite = ‘Comments’, custom_1 = ‘’, custom_2 = ‘’, custom_3 = ‘’, custom_4 = ‘’, custom_5 = ‘’, custom_6 = ‘’, custom_7 = ‘’, custom_8 = ‘’, custom_9 = ‘’, custom_10 = ‘’, Posted=from_unixtime(1228179036), Expires=‘0’ where ID = 7 in C:\websites\sitename\textpattern\lib\txplib_db.php on line 82
// ——————————————————————————————— //

I’ve noticed that entering in a date/time for the Expires fields seems to fix this problem. It errors only when they are left blank.

I’m using Textpattern 4.0.7 and MySQL 5.0.27 on a Windows box running Apache.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Re: Incorrect datetime value: '0' for column 'Expires' error in Txp 4.0.7

Please issue these SQL queries and report back:

SELECT @@GLOBAL.sql_mode;
SELECT @@SESSION.sql_mode;

Alternatively, you can visit the “Show MySQL system variables” page in phpMyAdmin and read this setting from the row starting with “sql mode” (see pic)

Re: Incorrect datetime value: '0' for column 'Expires' error in Txp 4.0.7

They both return:
‘STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION’

Re: Incorrect datetime value: '0' for column 'Expires' error in Txp 4.0.7

Any reason why you use STRICT_TRANS_TABLES?

Re: Incorrect datetime value: '0' for column 'Expires' error in Txp 4.0.7

None at all. It’s not something I’ve manually changed or set up intentionally. I just followed the installation instructions for TXP… perhaps it’s a default setting for my version of MySQL??

Re: Incorrect datetime value: '0' for column 'Expires' error in Txp 4.0.7

So, this is not a self-hosted environment on your own box but rented webspace?

No, I’m developing locally, so it is self-hosted. I created the db using a local version of MySQL Administrator.

I’m not entirely across what STRICT_TRANS_TABLES is about, so it quite possibly could be a setting I missed when creating the database.

Re: Incorrect datetime value: '0' for column 'Expires' error in Txp 4.0.7

  1. See docs.
  2. SQL mode is determined upon MySQL server’s startup and not changed for a single database.
  3. Try to locate MySQL’s configuration file my.ini or my.cnf. For XAMPP, this file would live somewhere around c:\xampp\myqsl\bin\.
  4. Disable STRICT_TRANS_TABLES by removing a line similar to sql_mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES from this file (you can prepend a # to change it into an inoperational comment)
  5. Stop and restart MySQL server
  6. Report back

Re: Incorrect datetime value: '0' for column 'Expires' error in Txp 4.0.7

In case you do not have the opportunity to switch MySQL into non-strict mode by using the method sketched above, try this plugin:

# txp_mysql5strict v0.1
# Set MySQL 5 into non-strict mode.

# ......................................................................
# This is a plugin for Textpattern - http://textpattern.com/
# To install: textpattern > admin > plugins
# Paste the following text into the 'Install plugin' box:

Re: Incorrect datetime value: '0' for column 'Expires' error in Txp 4.0.7

^^ might be a good idea to put that plugin code in the TXP FAQ as a temporary fix until 4.0.8.

Will do so, but I’d hope for anyone confirming its healing powers first.
