DropDate for Low Variables won't save settings

smartpill 8 Sep 2011 20:04 problem, complete

I've installed DropDate 1.1.2 and it set it as an option for a group of Low Variables but when I try to save changes the fields revert to the default Day, Month, Year instead of the selections. Have you seen this before?

   Have you tried updating DropDate to the latest version?

   Sorry, I should have mentioned this is EE 1.6.9. DropDate 1.1.2 is the latest EE1 version.

   I just tried it on my 1.6.9 installation with DropDate 1.1.2, and I cannot reproduce.
   
   If you open up ft.dropdate.php and look at line 471 (the method save_var_field), if it says:
   
   

   return $this->save_field($var_data, $var_settings);

   
   
   ...replace it with:
   
   

   return $this->save_field($var_data, $var_settings, TRUE);

   
   
   ...and see if that helps.
