[bug_fixed] Date, Time and Float on Lazarus

fbaqui · Post by **fbaqui** » 14.06.2006, 01:55

I fixed some problems of the rev.62 on Lazarus:
-installation problems
-float point values when the "decimalseparator" is not "."

I am trying to resolve now the problems with date and time fields on Lazarus.

Developers, please include this on next release.

Edited:
The values of the fields of the type date and hour is appearing normally, however the update or insertion of these fields not yet is functioning.

continuing the work!

Alert: This patche is for trunk version rev.62. I'll put the diff for testing branch version son as possible.

Hi fbaqui,

Thanks for the patch. However, duetosome organisational problems we only work on testing branch for the moment. There, most Lazarus installation problems should be allright.
Can you please change to testing version for development of ZEOS? I hope it works right out of the repository as I've been changing a lot of mysql driver stuff. (for those interested, embedded server now is also supported a little)
Can you then check if you changes are still necessary and post me that diff? If it's not possible to reply tot his thread,please sendme a p.m. to avoid an endless number of threads that isn't manageable.

Do you use fpc 2.1.1? (not standard in lazarus yet!!) In earlier versions date displaying was also wrong.

Hi Mark,

I am trying to work in “stable” version of fpc/Lazarus for understanding that the majority of the users works with this version.

It would like to ask for you who place the information about the SVN in some more visible place, like the Downloads area, becose I looked for per two days until finding the address in a topic of fórum.

I´ll try with testing branch and post here the result.

Edited: The problems with date, time, datetime and float vaues continues. I´ll put a diff here son as possible.

I believe to have obtained a solution for the following problems:

-problems with the fields type Date, Time and DateTime
-problems with the fields type Float when the DecimalSeparator is not "."

In my tests the Zeos worked very well with these fields after this correction, but I believe that we need more people testing the solution to confirm its effectiveness.

This patch must be applied from the folder “branches”.

Hi fbaqui,

That's strange. For me it works half before the patch (this means I can at least read the dates in a table, but can't edit them). After the patch I can't even read. Is that because of the compiler difference? I 've no idea. I'm using the nightly Lazarus build of last night. FPC 2.1.1
So I'll wait. If then ext version of Lazarus won't support it, it makes no sense patching this way.

Anybody else tried?

Mark,

The version of the Lazarus that I used was the 0.9.16 and of FPC 2.0.2. These are the considered versions steady of the two programs, at least are the information that consists in the site of the Lazarus. I imagine that these are the used versions more, therefore the majority of the users download the packages of the SourceForge on the contrary of the SVN of the FPC/Lazarus.

Please try with this new patche to see if it functions. If to function can consider this patche for the current versions of the FPC/Lazarus and the previous one for the steady versions.

Thanks for reply.

Felipe

Hi fbaqui, You're a genius.
This patch has been applied 2 minutes ago. It works like a charm.

It has been decided we use the newer Lazarus versions as this new behaviour is what the Lazarus developpers have chosen to do in the future. And the future is where we're going.

Do you know how we can implement it independent of fpc version? ifdef/second try, ...

Last question : can I add you to my compiler testers list? It's always nice to have somebody who knows how to fix Lazarus stuff. (You can reply by pm)

Sorry, but I couldn't apply the patch... am I doing something wrong?
The command I used: patch -p2 -i branches2.diff (into src dir of ZEOS)

PS: I'm using Win32 Laz

Hi friends

I lowered its version of the zeos in http://users.telenet.be/mdaems and brought up to date the ZDatasetUtils.pas archive that fbaqui indicated to decide the problem of the date. I compiled and functioned perfectly.

As Odinsoft it works with me, also confirms that he functions.

Thanks a lot.

Just refreshed the downloads on the site mentionned by Silvio. Changes should be inside. (Compiles with fpc 2.1.1)
