texte = Greetings, all--Apologies if this has been addressed earlier, but I haven't been able to find any reference to it in the archives....I have been working on a dynamic calendar for a site, and I ran into a problem when I tried to display September and October, 1998. It looks like September 4 is missing from WebCat's programming...and November 2 is there twice!If you'd like to check my work, try the following:Set up a small database with day numbers (SERIALDATE) from 72990 through 730080. Then have WebCat display the associated calendar day; I used[founditems] [SERIALDATE], [format days_to_date %x][math]{[SERIALDATE]}[/math][/format]
[/founditems]When I got to 73000, the date displayed as Sep 3, 1998, which is correct.The next number, 73001, displayed as Sep 5, 1998.730059 displayed as Nov 2, 1998; so did 730060 (which was actually correct).I'm using 2.0, and I also tested this with 2.1b3 (PowerMac).
