I try to make a timeline about history art.
I created a new content type to hold event nodes for my timeline.
I add field of type datetime with "select list" form element.

In the year selection list I need next values:
Years back and forward: -500:-50 (default is -3:+3)

but when I try to add some nodes with this content type I get his error:
There are errors in Period (my content type)

* The From date is invalid.
* The To date is invalid.

Thanks,
Ed

Is this really exclusively happening when the timeline module is activated?

Yes, but I was thinking that this module must be activated anyway.

I get the timeline libraries (from the SIMILE server) and installed it locally: sites/all/libraries/simile_timeline

Default time zone on my site is: America/New_York
User-configurable time zones: Enabled
First day of week: Sunday
(I need this setting in conjunction with another modules from my site)

I add field of type datetime with "select list" form element, with next settings:

Label: Period
Widget type: Select List
Default value: Blank
Default value for To date: Same as From date
Input format: 2009-09-23 00:29:26
Years back and forward: -500:-50 (default is -3:+3)
To Date: Required
Granularity: Year (I need years only)
Default Display: Short
Time zone handling: No time conversion

How I said, trying to add some nodes with this content type I get this error:
* The From date is invalid.
* The To date is invalid.

.. but was is really strange is that I get this error when I try to type years before 1773.
If I type 1774 or up the node can be created.

Hope You have enough information to understand my problem..

Thanks,
Ed

try to deactivate timeline module and tell me if this error still exists. the timeline module shouldn't influence at all at the node creation process. Or please report the page (link) where this error exists. Is it really the actual timeline view?

I deactivate timeline module and the error still exist... (now timeline module is activated)
(next link show a node with years: 1753. If I try to type a year before, like 1752 or 1558 the error show up and the node can not be created.

If this error persists after deactivating the timeline module, so the error is obviously not caused by this module. Closing.
