When I save a project I get the messages:
1 - Time format is not available! Please select on admin/settings/storm/contrib a system date format
2 - Project end date - The system calculated end date is after the entered deadline of the projekt!
2a - my end date is Nov 6, 2011 and my deadline is Nov 30, 2011 so I don't understand this message.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi macmaci,

1) there is a setting to configure the time format that should be used. If you go to http://yourdomain.com/admin/settings/storm/contrib there is a fieldset named "Date format". Please check if there is a format selected.

2) You entered a deadline for the project.That is a date when the product should be delivered. For a website for example the launch date. When creating tasks and tickets you can enter durations for each task or ticket. The system (storm_contrib) calculates the whole durations of all tasks and tickets and the estimated end date when all tasks/tickets are finished. The message "The system calculated end date is after the entered deadline of the projekt!" means that it calculates that your tasks and tickets will be finished after the deadline, so there is maybe a problem, because the deadline could not be kept.

2a) Normally we expect the deadline is before the end date. The deadline is when a product has to be delivered (launch day of a website for example). The end date is normally after the deadline because after the launch there will be also tasks like writng documentation, feature/change requests, mainaintance, ...

ok on items 2 and 3 and thanks very much. Regarding item 1 the drop down menu for "Display date format" and for "System date format" are blank so there is nothing to select.

Hi,

normally the date formats from Drupal are listed here. Do you have any date formats listed here?
admin/settings/date-time/formats

This error happens for a fresh installation without date_api module.
Fixed it.

Till the next release save the drupal date settings (http://your-domain.com/admin/settings/date-time) once and the formats will appear in the storm contrib settings.

Also removed system time date format. As this shouldn't be configurable, as we use strtotime, which works best with Y-m-d.
