Cannot setup a Campaign

2/22/2007 5:58 AM EST

Hi,

I cannot not setup a campaign because for some reason the system keeps saying that the 'Run Date' is invalid. The date format is UK and works for everything else except the Campaign section. I'm running on OS X 10.4.8, Java 2, Tomcat 5.5.20 and MySQL 5.0.27. I have checked the error logs for Tomcat and there is nothing generated for this error. Please can you advise. Thanks.

I have built from source and used Postgres as the backend. But this part of the module still does not work.

I have just install the binary on Windows XP and used Postgres for the backend. I still had the same issue.

To get it to work I changed the jsp (campaign_center_schedule.jsp) page to the following:

FROM:

<dhv:permission name="campaign-campaigns-edit">
<zeroio:dateSelect form="inputForm" field="activeDate" timestamp="<%= Campaign.getActiveDate() %>"/>
<dhv:label name="project.at">at</dhv:label>
<zeroio:timeSelect baseName="activeDate" value="<%= Campaign.getActiveDate() %>" timeZone="<%= (Campaign.getActiveDateTimeZone() == null) ? User.getTimeZone(): Campaign.getActiveDateTimeZone() %>" showTimeZone="true"/>
<font color="red">*</font>
</dhv:permission>
<%=showAttribute(request,"activeDateError")%>

To:

<dhv:permission name="campaign-campaigns-edit" none="true">
<input type="text" size="10" name="activeDate" value="<zeroio:tz timestamp="<%= Campaign.getActiveDate() %>" dateOnly="true" />" disabled="disabled">
</dhv:permission>
<dhv:permission name="campaign-campaigns-edit">
<zeroio:dateSelect form="inputForm" field="activeDate" timestamp="<%= Campaign.getActiveDate() %>" timeZone="<%= (Campaign.getActiveDateTimeZone() == null) ? User.getTimeZone(): Campaign.getActiveDateTimeZone() %>" showTimeZone="true" />
</dhv:permission>
<%=showAttribute(request,"activeDateError")%>

This works but you cannot choose the time for the Run Date. It looks like a bug. Please can you advise on when this issue will be resolved.

Thanks.

Which version of Centric CRM are you using? There was an issue with Campaign Run Date that was fixed before the 4.1 release. Are you using 4.1 or a prior version of Centric?

Thanks.

Hello Viet,

Could you please send us a snapshot of your entire Centric CRM screen for your Campaign Run Date form which displays the error while you try to save a campaign with an activation date.

This might help us troubleshoot the issue further. When the server tries to validate the run date, it tries to compare the run date with the system's current date to see if the run date is not in the past.

For the comparison to be valid, both the date/time values should be converted to an identical timezone and then compared. We'll troubleshoot this further and see if there are any bugs around this piece of code.

Regards,
Ananth

Hi,

How can I upload the snapshot of the Campaign Run Date form in this forum? I have done the screen grabs but cannot find a way to upload to this forum.

Thanks,

Viet
