Hi there,

[problem]
this is urgent - after updating FC to 3.2.1.14 (and updating joomla to 3.8.8) yesterday, my live-site's category-page shows way more "Events" than it should.
Also. all "Events" seems to have "01. Jan." as their date.

[details]
  1. I checked in Backend: Dates are still ok.
  2. I'm happy to direct-message you a link to the website
[questions]
  1. Did something change in Items' Fields' "value" format? Or it's storage inside $item? (Though that does not explain the amount of items on category page)
  2. Did I maybe miss some info about some "press fix-database-button" or similar?
[setup]
Joomla 3.8.8
FC 3.2.1.14
Sql 5.7.22
Php 7.1.17

Thank you a lot! for your advice!

since i cannot replicate this locally

this issue may appear with some specific configuration in the viewing TAB of the date field
please send me a PM with site access and i will review it ASAP

Hello

i checked it
it seems to be an issue in your custom Flexicontent template file
but it is a file in a subfolder that have no access to read / edit

issue could be related to upgrading to PHP 7.2

Hello

Your custom template is working now

Also i cleaned a PHP 7.2 notice for you, inside file
components/com_flexicontent/templates/.../snips/eventDetail.php

This is what happened
- your custom template is parsing
Code:
$items->fields['some_date_fieldname']->display

and we have changed the default display for the above
making it configurable in via 2 parameters 1 for item view and 1 for category view
- after changing the above 2 parameters to 'Y-m-d' your custom code works again

It would have been better to have used originally the raw values
Code:
$items->fields[4444]->fieldvalues
but anyway you can keep your template unchanged
it should not be a problem again since now the field's configuration has been saved

This is not a bug, it works as designed
but i understand that the change of  'default' display format via this update broke your site
and i am sorry that this happened

It's ok, and we shouldn't have parsed dates in the first place like we did, you're right.
Thanks a lot for your marvellous support - as always, George!
Looking forward to the pro-version!

have a nice evening, best regards,
Ben
