class IXR_Date transforms invalid timestamp.

[nasenmann]

class-IXR.php, class IXR_Date, parseIso() line 693 should look like this to solve the problem.

function parseIso($iso) {

$this->year = substr($iso, 0, 4);
$this->month = substr($iso, 5, 2);
$this->day = substr($iso, 8, 2);
$this->hour = substr($iso, 11, 2);
$this->minute = substr($iso, 14, 2);
$this->second = substr($iso, 17, 2);
WP adds timezone. See #2036
$this->timezone = substr($iso, 17);

}

fix

Can you provide details on what exactly the problem is? Precise steps on how to reproduce it would be very helpful.

it's pretty hard for me to explain, but i'll try:

• i'm using wordpress to aggregate content from other wordpress blogs
• i've written a wordpress plugin, which uses the class-IXR.php to send blogposts via XML-RPC to the motherblog.
• to sync the post date i'm converting the post_date via new IXR_Date() but the current implemetation returns a invalid string.

• using my fix solves the problem and returns a valid XML-RPC IXR_Date string

it is a known bug in IXR_Date. see ​http://www.freelists.org/post/dokuwiki/Bug-IXR-DateparseIsoiso-works-incorrect

$client = new IXR_Client($xmlRpcUrl);
		
		$params [] = $id;
		$params [] = $this->wpUser;
		$params [] = $this->wpPassword;
		$params [] = array(
						'title' => $title,
						'categories' => $categories,
						'description' => $content,
						'mt_excerpt' => $excerpt,
						'mt_keywords' => $tags,
						'custom_fields' => $customFields,
						'date_created_gmt' => new IXR_Date($date),
						'post_status' => $publish
					);
		$params [] = $publish != 'publish' ? 0 : 1;
		
		$result = $client->query('metaWeblog.newPost', $params);

thanks.

will it be applied in 3.0.1? :)

Re-reading the comment mathiasschopmans, I can't tell whether he offered a patch, or a way to properly use IXR_Date. This ticket should only be closed as worksforme if there's no bug here.

If there is a bug we can fix, it's been around for a while, so we would not fix this in 3.0.1.

Re-opening for review.

i'm sad, that the patch isn't applied in 3.0.1. writing an iphone app, which uses xmlrpc as transport and have to fix class-IXR.php everytime i update wordpress cause of the bug.

i attached my class-IXR.php here: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/13300/class-IXR.php

@ocean90 transformed it to a patch: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/13300/class-IXR.patch

stop. maybe i got it wrong. testing...

new IXR_Date(mysql2date("Ymd\TH:i:s", $post->post_date, false));

shame on me! excuse me.
