Issue importing pub_date values

[Mark-H]

I decided to upload a bunch of resources with defined pub_date. Pub_dates were in unix format and were set as “future dates”. I mean I expected the resources to be published later on this month. But when I finished importing, all of the resources were published))))

resource/create processor:

        $now = time();
        if (isset($scriptProperties['pub_date'])) {
            if (empty($scriptProperties['pub_date'])) {
                $scriptProperties['pub_date'] = 0;
            } else {
                $scriptProperties['pub_date'] = strtotime($scriptProperties['pub_date']);
                if ($scriptProperties['pub_date'] < $now) $scriptProperties['published'] = 1;
                if ($scriptProperties['pub_date'] > $now) $scriptProperties['published'] = 0;
            }
        }

The core expects it to be a time string as indicated by the strtotime function call
