In the four lists in the Submissions page (editor’s view) articles have a down-pointing blue arrow that brings up more information about the article.
Using Firefox on Linux or Mac, this includes a line like “Last activity recorded on 11/13/2019”. Using Safari on Mac, this line always says “Last activity recorded on Invalid Date”.
We tried this on two Macs with the same result (both running MacOS 10.14).
My initial guess was that Safari is holding onto an obsolete javascript, but several attempts I’ve made to clear that condition haven’t made a difference. So it might be something else.
Hi @bdm,
As a Mac user, I get the same error on Safari. The error appears both on English and Turkish interfaces in Safari. On Windows 10, while Microsoft Edge displays the dates without any problem, IE11 is also problematic.
When it comes to Firefox or Chrome, the dates appear in different formats.
Turkish interface: dd/mm/yyyy
English interface: m/d/yyyy or mm/dd/yyyy
My config.inc.php time format is;
; Site time zone
; Please refer to lib/pkp/registry/timeZones.xml for a full list of supported
; time zones.
; I.e.:
;
; time_zone=“Amsterdam”
time_zone = “Istanbul”
; Short and long date formats
date_format_trunc = “%m-%d”
date_format_short = “%Y-%m-%d”
date_format_long = “%B %e, %Y”
datetime_format_short = “%Y-%m-%d %I:%M %p”
datetime_format_long = “%B %e, %Y - %I:%M %p”
time_format = “%I:%M %p”
I haven’t made any progress in solving it. Our config is the same as yours except that we have time_zone = “UTC”. As an experiment I changed my system time zone to UTC also, but it made no difference.
Initially, it was slated to be included as part of the 3.3 release, but it looks as though it was not able to be prioritized for inclusion into that release, but it is on our development team’s radar to be incorporated in the future.
