News Feed Ticker - Date - unspecified error

[LJLachance]

I am working with the current version of WB and trying to find a reason for an unspecified error when changing the year for the date to be displayed.

Specifically I would like to have the end result appear as it can be found as the third item NewsFeedTicker3 at https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/suppo ... icker.html.

I'm using User Defined Data Source - viewer type slideshow and if I attempt to change the year of the date from the current year to any other year, I get an unspecified error message.

Is it not possible to pick the year when editing the user defined content? Insight appreciated.

To be able to help you, I need a DEMO project (.wbs file) so I can see all your settings.

I do not need the complete project because that will only take more time to figure out what you have done.
Basically, I just need a small project with one page and object(s) that are relevant to your question.

For further details about how to share a project file, please see this FAQ:

a simple example attached - I am only able to use the year 2022. If I attempt to change the year to anything else I get an unspecified error.

Thanks

Thanks for the project.
However, it seems to work correct.
There is no error when I preview the page.

There is no error because the dates specified are 2022. If you try to change the date to 1965 or some other date, upon making the change and clicking OK, I get the error.

Unfortunately, you cannot use 1965, because the JavaScript date range starts at January 1, 1970

This is not good for my team - all I can do now is wonder. I did find this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/672 ... efore-1970 which allegedly works to allow dates prior to 1970 however I have no idea how to do this. Is it possible to add something to the header or body to cause this change?

Thanks Pablo, as always...

This code is for PHP. Not for JavaScript.

Alternatively, you can include the date in title as regular text as text, and uncheck the option 'include date'
