Hi in my google calendar i have an anual event set up on jan 2 1997. In my gcal the event shows 5 times as i have no other events yet and the limit is set to 5, however the first event shows the date date shows 31 December, 1969 in the block.

From searching i found allot of modules has had this problem, seems to be a drupal default date.

Do you have the timezone and date/time set up properly on your server? It should not be showing events in the past for any reason.

I just set up a test calendar with the same event and it shows up properly. Can you post the XML address of the calendar you're using?

Try turning on debug mode and see if that gives you any more clues.

Also - what timezone are you testing it in? And is the event an all-day event, or an event with a start/end time?

You're right about that date showing up a lot. "unixtime" is defined as the number of seconds since Jan 1st 1970, so if you have zero or a similar default value, you would see a date like that.

According to my host yes!

All green, no errors

Firste tested in the default time, now testing in Pacific/Honolulu calender is set to gmt -10 hawaii time to match.
Tested with both, currently their set to all day events

by debug mode, I meant the debug mode in gcal_events itself - there's a checkbox under the module admin settings to enable it. (it has nothing that is colored green, so I assume you're looking at a different debug?)

Can I see the site? I'm going to try adding in some extra debug statements in the date processing so I can see where yours is failing. I'm guessing so far it's either a drupal or php difference from the systems I've tested it on, since when I add your calendar to mine, I see:

Those look correct, as far as I can tell.

A change to the XML address fixed this problem - "sortorder=ascending".
