[SOLVED] Joomla 3.4.4 - DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (Never) at position 0 (N): The timezone could not be found in the database

Hello,
This might be for the Joomla devs to resolve but I thought I might ask here because maybe it's something that needs to be updated in Flexicontent because it seems to only affect FC as far as I can see.

I upgraded Joomla from 3.4.3 to 3.4.4 and other parts of the site seem to work correctly but when I go to Flexicontent items and try to edit one of them, I get the following error

DateTime::__construct(): Failed to parse time string (Never) at position 0 (N): The timezone could not be found in the database

It doesn't happen in categories or types, only in items.
Thanks,
Agata

I have exactly the same problem

Have you seen recent posts in th forum this is answered that it is fixed in v3.0.8, please check recent forum threads

thanks ggppdk for the fix. it works perfect.

but, we have some site where we can't install the latest flexicontent immediately, is it difficult to get rid of the error?

cheers
bart

Hello

about patching older installations (try the following):

- Edit file:
administrator/component/com_flexicontent/views/item/view.html.php

Find text:
$form->setValue('publish_down', null, JText::_( 'FLEXI_NEVER' ));

and change to:
$form->setValue('publish_down', null, '');


Also please see changelog of v3.0.x at
www.flexicontent.org/downloads/latest-version.html
- we started publishing a good changelog since v3.0.0

works like a charm!

and, i have to say, gratulation with flexi v3! i really like it.
