[ZendTo] Not use before?

[Jules]

Hi Massimo,

Yes, you're absolutely right. I was trying to solve the problem of the 
user creating the request being East of the server's timezone, and 
accidentally created a problem if the user is West of the server's timezone.

The simple fix to this, if you want to patch your server manually, is to 
edit
    /opt/zendto/templates/request.tpl
and change line 310 from
    minDate: 0, // Disallow dates in the past
to
    minDate: -1, // Start at yesterday to avoid timezone problems

That should be the only change required.

This fix will be in the next release.

Cheers,
Jules.
