Bug in about.php

Please test using the current master. The current line 485 in moduleadmin.php cannot result in those errors.

It looking nearby, it is likely an issue in the xoops_version.php for the module. Check the 'release_date' key. This date needs to be specified like this:

$modversion['release_date'] = '2016/03/14';

With 4 digit year, a slash, two digit month, a slash, and a two digit day. No other formats are acceptable at this time, and it is the developer's responsibility to set this correctly when using the 'about' page.

I've seen that concerns xoops_version but the problem is when I change language with English goes well we must find a way to adapt to the local.

Unfortunately I realized now that using the constant variable _DATESTRING in module tdmcreate, and when I loaded the Italian language, I did not notice the problem.

From now on all languages, for translations, we will use the format defined xoops yyyy/mm/dd

The data in xoops_version.php might be used in contexts where the localization isn't known. The date is source data, and any localization should occur where it is displayed, not where it is stored. (Important word there is "should.")

Xoops 2.5 is weak in the area of date and time localization, so I'm not looking to fix the display issue there. In 2.6, PHP DateTime objects are used extensively, and we will have full localization and better timezone support. There is still work being done, but the basics are in place. Check out the locale demo in the codex module for a sample of the new date time support.
