Title: Can't change the date of an article in Elxis 5.0
Post by: seadhna on July 30, 2019, 12:59:35

Hi, I remember downloading a patch to fix the issue with changing the article date but I can't find it now in 'Download' or 'Blog' or this forum - I am unable to change the date of an article in Elxis 5.0 - is this still an issue - is the patch still available?

You can change the date time of an article under 5.0 version. Don't you?

He is right. The date can not be changed. I tried it on a localhost installation Elxis 5.0 rev 2299

The date doesnt change because it has not the proper length (16 characters instead of 19) and it is considered invalid.
Make this fix please:

Open file components/com_content/controllers/aarticle.php
go to line 1077:
$newcreated = trim(filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'newcreated', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW | FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH));
Add below:
if (strlen($newcreated) == 16) { $newcreated .= ':00'; }

Save the file and you are ready.

Sorry for the trouble!
