Imported Listings - Activation Date

[lyndaek]

I dont know if this only occurs in my 4.6 version but when i import listings the activation date is always 1900-01-00 00:00:00
It doesnt matter:
- if I put "1" in the "active" field of the excel file, (todays date is still not used)
- or if I mark "Check to activate all imported listings" (todays date is still not used)
- or if i put an activation date in "Set Activation Date" box (that date is not used)
The activation date is always 1900. This messes up expiry of the listing (i guess) and also my customized table showing the latest submitted listings as I sort by activation_date.
Only if the ad is deactivated and i click "activate" in manage listings does the imported listing show todays date. Therefore after every import I have to go to all the imported listings and click activate if deactivated or deactivate first then click activate to show the current date.

If this helps to diagnose:  In "manage listings" the only listings with the correct activation_date are the ones where Status is "approved". This happens for listings submitted in the main site (I inserted your code to set all users to trusted) and those submitted using 'ad listing" in admin panel. The only ones that dont have the right date are those imported.

Is this an unfixed bug or am i missing something?

Thanks..

Hello lyndaek.
I just tested listing import and if I am setting date in format month-day-year for example 02.28.2009 and make import activation date sets to that date. And if I am leaving it empty - it sets default server date (for me it is current date) so just play with date format and if there will be problems contact support and we will try to figure out your problem.
