Solved Wrong date in forum topic with Kunena Discuss

Habe the problem on all my 3 sites after upgrade to Kunena 3.03, Discuss 3.01 and Joomla 2.5.16

1.:
In the database the timestamp (in Kunena_message: time & Kunena_topic: first_post_time) is "1" instead of the right one.

In the content_field there is under created datetime the right date: Format: 2013-11-08 07:59:00

2. The Article created (created date): 2013-11-08 07:59:00
started published: 0000-00-00 00:00:00
=> but that entry are the same in alle articles before I get the problem

3. 2nd message? That isn´t needed before the problem. I can write you an answer in this board, but that fix not the problem. For example this (old) entry with the right date:
www.scoteire.de/forum/News/136449-der-irische-freund.html

Ok, it seems that I know the problem. The plugin takes dates from publish_up field, not the created field. I checked ALL my articles (about 400) they all have "Start publishing" (publish_up) filled-in. This field is filled-in automatically by Joomla.

1. Try adding a value into "Start publishing" field of the article under question ( www.scoteire.de/events/termin/833 ). And try the pugin again. By the way - it that article of Joomla or generated by other component?

2. In the mean time I'll test the plugin with empty publish_up fields. Plugin should handle this in other ways, not putting 1 to the time field. I'll let you know soon.

Yes, the problem was in wrong processing of empty publish_up field (which should not be empty - Joomla takes care of it).

Test a fix which is submitted in the pull request on GitHub. You can take new content of kunenadiscuss.php from GitHub:
github.com/grayz7z/Kunena-Addons/blob/ma...ss/kunenadiscuss.php

After updating the kunenadiscuss.php please delete the message created by plugin ( www.scoteire.de/forum/Events/136374-alta...irish-folk-band.html ) and try again with the same article.

Please note that new kunenadiscuss.php has 1 more fix and 1 new feature - more info is given here github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Addons/pull/159

Thats the problem and you fix it. Thanks. The problem I see for future Kunena Discuss Updates

Curious: before the Joomla Update to 2.5.16 it runs with a empty publish_up field in the format: 0000-00-00 00:00:00.
Think there are changes in the Updates 2.5.15 or 2.5.16

Not sure what went wrong with update from Joomla 2.5.15 or 2.5.16.
I can only suppose that during update some articles appear to have empty publish_up field.

The code of discuss plugin relied on this field before - I checked even plg_kunenadiscuss_v1.7.2 from 2012-02-05.

The discuss plugin "plg_content_kunenadiscuss_v2.0.4_2013-01-18" didn´t have this extra code.

Thanks again for your help. Thumbs up
