Topic on Extension talk:Semantic Page Series

Hi.

I'm running this on an english install of MW 1.17.3 with SMW 1.8alpha.

If I use the standard SMW date input:

{{{field|Start Date|input type=Date|mandatory}}}

Then the page create always fails with the error: "The start date is missing."

If I use the SFI date picker:

{{{field|Start Date|mandatory|input type=datepicker
|disable input field
|show reset button
|show week numbers
|week start=1
|highlight days of week=0
|date format=DD dd MM yy}}}

Then it works and the pages get created. I suspect this is down to some low level date format issue.

I wanted to switch to the simple date entry because there is a nasty problem with SFI. When you edit the page, the date is zapped back to the current date. Caught between a rock and a hard place!

This should now finally be fixed in the SPS development version.
