Patch for version 4.2.2

Here's a fix for the birthday issue in the "Edit Profile" screen - for users whose timezone is earlier than GMT, the default birthday on the "Edit Profile" screen will always be a day before the date stored in the database. This can lead to unobservant users constantly moving their birthday backwards through time each time they edit their profile. The fix is quick:

In sources/ocf_members_action2.php, change:

Code


$default_time=is_null($dob_month)?NULL:array(0,0,$dob_month,$dob_day,$dob_year);

Code


$default_time=is_null($dob_month)?NULL:usertime_to_servertime(mktime(0,0,0,$dob_month,$dob_day,$dob_year));

This ensures that the timestamp for the birthdate is properly adjusted for timezones and will appear properly on the "Edit Profile" screen.
