Short Date!

Post by trailerman1978 »

As I'm building leagues and restructuring leagues I've finally come across a problem I can't solve. I recently added Icelandic and Danish leagues and unlike other leagues I'm getting a message "Error".

The errors for these leagues started when I added them as playable so I know and can't figure out where the problem stems from, these leagues in particular...

The error message I get is: (Inside a grey box)

1. SHORT_DATE::SHORT_DATE() : day of month passed is invalid [-X

2. SHORT_DATE::SHORT_DATE() : month passed is invalid [-X

I'm working off the 2018-2019 update!

Let me know if anybody else has a solution for this...

Thanks mates,

Cowboy

The error messages suggest you've entered a date incorrectly. Did you enter a date in American mm-dd-yyyy format rather than European dd-mm-yyyy format? If so, that will be the issue.

Please explain my friend,

Where would I find these dates you speak of?

Many thanks,

Cowboy

In the various settings screens of the leagues you added. So presumably you added entries to the Rules & Structures screen and possibly also the Schedule Templates screen for your additional leagues. Check each sub-screen for any date settings.

I set up the two league schedules by using the generate dates wizard on the lower left hand side of the screen and gave enough dates to cover the needed number of games scheduled! Hmmm is this the problem?

I did not have this problem with any previous changes made? Confused! Any ideas? Which exact sub-screen for any date settings? That is the confusing part!

Thanks mate,

Cowboy
