I sometimes want submitted links to appear in a different order than when they were submitted, so I'm trying to change the value of Date Submitted. Here's what I added in the edit link template:


<IF {THISMEMBERGROUPISADMIN}>
<tr>
<td><strong>Date Submitted:</strong></td>
<td><input type="text" name="time" size="{STANDARDSIZE}" value="{LINKDATE}"></td>
</tr>
</IF>


However, every time I hit submit on that form, it changes the date to 12/31/1969. Am I using the wrong variable, or is this not possible?

The feature to change submission times was added in 3.2.0. Your hack is presumably altering the database field directly, which means you'd need to type the number of seconds since 1970, and typing a date will get your data ignored and replaced with a 0 since it's an integer field.

Okay, that explains why that was happening. Is there some way I can take a select file from the new version and use it in my version, or add a routine to convert the date into seconds? I want to avoid upgrading if possible, since I don't really need the new features and would rather not redo all my templates.

No, you can't upgrade without upgrading.

Okay, so is there some php I can add that'll make this conversion for me? Maybe a snippet out of the newer version inserted into the old?

So I guess a snippet can't be added to the input/edit routine to do this conversion then?

Modifying enough code will do anything. I'm not going to rewrite 3.16 into 3.3.5, since I've already done that once.
