api_alliance module incorrectly lists Corporation join Date

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The api_alliance module is included by default with the EDK 3.0.8 download.

When activated, the module modifies the alliance information page to include 
the corporations within the alliance and various stats about each corp.  One of 
these stats is the date the Corporation joined the alliance.

This date listed is the Corporation's creation date, not the actual join date.

I think this is a limitation of the API rather than EDK. Are the errors you're 
seeing for corps that were part of the alliance before the alliance API was 
introduced? I think there were problems at the start due to there not being 
records to use.

I'll look into this but I think the result will be that it's the best data 
available.

The date when a Corp joins an Alliance is listed in the AllianceList.xml file.

api_alliance gets the joindate from the AllianceList.xml file. That is what is 
being displayed as the date a Corporation joined the alliance. You can follow 
the path on lines 30 to 58, then lines 125-131, of

Close this as a non-issue, I've completely read the code wrong.

It is an issue, there's just not much we can do about it. The join dates can be 
wrong and sometimes are wrong. I don't see any better source of information, 
though.
