FSplugin and Custom Column ft_date

[djorge]

Hi,
i'm getting problems while returning a ft_date as a custom column.

Interface says:
ft_date: FieldValue points to a structure containing year,month,day as 2 byte values.

so i assume that a struct like this one will do the job:
typedef struct maydate_t{
short year;
short month;
short day;
} maydate_t;

Now for testing purposes i created a struct and assigned it to FieldValue
maydate_t* date = new maydate_t();
date->day=4;
date->month=3;
date->year=2010;

FieldValue = date;

In tc i get weird values and not 2010-03-04 in the custom column.

Currently i have 2 custom column. The first one is a boolean which is working fine and the second one is supposed to be a date. In this case which value should be fiedUnit for my second custom column (which is now an empty string)?

char* fieldnames[fieldcount]={
"Encrypted","Expired Date"};

int fieldtypes[fieldcount]={
ft_boolean, ft_date};

char* fieldUnit[fieldcount]={
"Boolean", ""};

What am i missing?

Thanks in advance.
