  • UserLastOn a little wonky?

    From seeLive@21:2/128 to All on Saturday, January 08, 2022 12:41:22
    I've noticed with a couple of different MPS's, like bulletin.mps, the date being returned from DateSTR(UserLastOn) = '14/24/28'... :-/

    I'm on a47 on a pi and I'm sure this wasn't a problem in a46... not sure if it's just me... Anyone else seeing this? Thanks

    I'm nowhere near as competent with MPL as your good self, but if you paste up
    a simple test script (or upload one to my system) I'd be happy to test it on
    my A46 system.

    I just uploaded a simple one-liner on your board... save it somewhere under the mystic dir where you can find it... you have generally two options to run it 1) compile with 'mplc' then add the 'datetest.mpx' to a menu and run or 2) you can run it from 'mide'. Let me know if you need help running it and let me know what it outputs... thanks, very much for helping!!

    Hi seeLive,

    I can confirm that A46 appears to give equally wonky results: I get 14/26/28.

    Interestingly, UserLastOn returned 1641738317 (09/01/2022, 14:25:17), so this does indeed appear to be an issue with 'DateSTR' rather than the timestamp returned by 'GetUser/GetThisUser'.

    Perhaps it's time to drop g00r00 a line?

    Thanks very much, for confirming and digging further... Yeah, I'll try to find him and let him know... thanks, again!

    FYI: the best way to contact g00r00 is to post a message via the 'MYSTIC' fidonet group.

    How does DateSTR get the date from this timestamp? This timestamp is not a regular timestamp as far as I know.

    In Python I use the following to get dates from timestamps like lastscan date (filebase) and filedate (filebase).

    sec = ((timestamp>>0) & 0x1f)*2; # 0..60, only even values
    min = (timestamp>>5) & 0x3f; # 0..59
    hour = (timestamp>>11) & 0x1f; #0..23
    day = (timestamp>>16) & 0x1f; # 1..31
    month = (timestamp>>21) & 0xf; # 1..12
    year = ((timestamp>>25) & 0x7f) + 1980;

    oP!

    It's just... DateSTR(UserLastOn,1) where 1 is the format of 'mm/dd/yy'... UserLastOn looks to me like unix time, but haven't validated that yet.

    Whatcha thinkin'?
