I heard that rc3 was supposed to parse dates, but I have been trying to import a set of nodes with dates, and no matter what I do the date is always today.

The dates i get from the database are in this format: 2008-10-01 09:47:00. If I try to import dates like this in the Preview field they are all listed as December 30, today. If I manually rewrite one or two to something like 10/01/2008 it creates a "not a date" error. If I copy a date exactly from an existing node, such as 2008-12-14 19:25:14 +0900, it also is listed as December 30, today. Its like the program either rejects incorrectly formatted dates, or takes dates that are correctly formatted, throws them away, and uses today's date.

I don't know what's going on.

Could you complete the "New import" wizard (by pressing "Start import") with a CSV file with only two rows (+title row) of data? With one of the columns set to the date you try to import. Then post the "Node import debug report" you get. This (text)file contains the options you have filled in so I can more easily detect what is going on.

By the way, I hope you are talking about the "Authored on" date. Other (CCK) dates are not yet supported.

It looks like I was talking about a CCK date field. So my problem is with the lack of CCK support. heh, sorry!
