Summary: Dates/year problem with Elections

Initial Comment:
I can only make closed elections.  When I attempt to put the date in, the drop down box only offers the choices of 1969-1979.  The pop-up calendar does not function.

I do not currently have the calendar mod installed because of its incompatibility with php5.  

Ideas?

I have fixed this in CVS and will be doing new release later today or
tomorrow, when I get a couple other things done.

Although this isn't really the forum to discuss these things, here are a
couple quick answers to your other questions.

> Is there a way I can find any of that info out ...
Create a file on your webserver called info.php and in that just put the
lines
<?php
 phpinfo();
?>
That will give you lot's of info about your server

> how do you see who won, 
Go to the module's utilities and Export or list
> and who voted for who?
You can't, it's secret ballot

Other question I have, I can make it a new thread if you want, how do you
see who won, and who voted for who?  Is there a way to see who voted for
who while the vote is going on?

I know I'm running php5, just because of the issues I'm having with the
calendar.  Unfortunately, I don't have most of the other specs, because I'm
doing an organizational webpage, and honestly, the hostmaster is an ass who
won't give me much of it (yeah, it's great working with him. /sarcasm)  

Is there a way I can find any of that info out for you, without having to
go through him?  *L*  

Thanks for the temp workaround though  :D

Hi lilytree,

Thanks for the report. Could you give me a little server info, i.e.
Operating System, Webserver/PHP/MySQL versions? I have been able to
reproduce this bug on my MacOSX box, but not on my linux (CentOS) server.
There are also differences in the php version on those systems and the
apache build. Your info might help me track it down. 

A work-around for now is to create the election with the 1979 date. After
it is saved, edit it and you will find you can advance the date by 10
years. Do this a couple times and you'll get where you want to be :)

This module doesn't require the calendar mod, so that's not a problem.

Rgds,
verdon
