Hm, not sure about the system prefernece idea - what if someone changes it multiple times? forgets to keep track of the changes? It would also need the date it was changed etc. It's tricky. Could we do a global switch to the db date format and fix it for display maybe? I think a big warning and a script to fix the entries in the accountlines table to the new dateformat would be ok for me until we can move the date totally out of the description. Thanks for the comment, Katrin. You are right, it is very tricky and errorprone to fix the issue. We have the script fix_accountlines_date.pl. However, the current version handles only 'us' and 'metric' as previous date formats. I think it might be worth fixing the script - what do you think? I do believe that bug 15675 fixes this once and for all! That bug changed the behavior such that the fines updater no longer relies on the description for fine selection! I think the only thing left to do is to remove the warnings from the system preferences. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 15675 *** |
