TOPIC: [SOLVED] EVENT_DATE Sending Current Date

Using most recent version 2.5.2 and when sending confirmation emails, the usage of the statement:

[EVENT_DATE] is posting the current date the person registered on and not the date of the event. This happens specifically when they receive their confirmation email.

I've tried setting the standard system confirmation email to send the confirmation message with these details and this occurred and also with sending using the one in the event management where you specify to send a specific confirmation message to the registrant which overrides the standard message.

Has happened to people who have registered and I confirmed it by creating a new event myself and making my way through a paypal transaction.

Can someone confirm this? It would seem like a real common problem that others would be experiencing, so if this is something that has been experienced by others, please let me know. Thanks!

The most recent version as of your post was actually 2.5.3, but we just released 2.5.4. Please upgrade as we are unable to replicate this issue on our sites in the latest release. If you continue to have the problem, submit a support ticket with access to your site so we can check it out.

I have also had this issue using:
Joomla 1.5.12
Jevents 1.5.1
DT Register 2.5.3a.

I was unable to replicate the error but the user sent me a copy of the "Thanks Email" where [EVENT_DATE] generated the date of the transaction, rather than the Date of the Event.

This error has also happened on random occasions in the past with previous versions of DT register. I have been unable to re-create the error but have been sent copies of wrong date "Thanks Email" by users.

Upgrade to DT Register 2.5.5 and you will not have this issue.

Hi,
I still have this issue with version 2.5.5. Not sure where I should go from here as I am having to set the server date wrongly so that your component doesn't send out the wrong time. Any suggestions?
