tribe_create_event => problem with the date

Hi !

First at all, thank you a lot for your plug-in. It’s a very great one and it saves me a lot of time 😀
But I got an issue. I cant figure out how to create a new event with the date that I want. It’s always the 1st January 1970…

In your doc, you do not give an example of the date format:

I tried a lot of possibilities but nothing works. I searched everywhere but I did not find the solution. Is it the date format “Y-m-d H:i:s” ? I tried ‘EventStartDate’=>’2012-03-21’ ; ‘EventStartDate’ =>’2012-03-21 01:15:00′ ; ‘EventStartDate’=>’2012/03/21’; but nothing works… I am getting crazy 🙁

What do I have to do to get it working ?

Thank you in advance ! (I hope I did nothing wrong by posting my question here)

I found the solution by myself! I am French so it was not the good format. I did not know that the plugin translates automatically the date. So it needs the French format !
In case that someone has the same problem, I used the format ‘dd-mm-yyyy’. And it is mandatory to fill the EventStartHour and EventStartMinute! (in French format so without the meridian 17:00). The date will not work without those parameters!

Here an example :
```
$insert = array(
   'post_title' => 'Titre',
   'post_content' => 'Description',
   'post_status' => 'draft',
   'post_author' => 999,
   'post_excerpt' => 'Extrait',
   'EventStartDate' => '30-01-2013',
   'EventEndDate' => '31-01-2013',
   'EventStartHour' => '08',
   'EventStartMinute' => '15',
   'EventEndHour' => '17',
   'EventEndMinute' => '30',
   'EventCost'=> '10',
   'EventShowMap'=> true,
   'Venue' => array(
		'Venue' => 'Nom de la salle',
		'Country' => 'France',
		'Address' => 'Adresse',
		'City' => 'Ville',
		'Zip' => '00000'
   ),
   'Organizer' => array(
	'Organizer' => 'Nom',
	'Email' => '[email protected]',
	'Phone' => '0600000000'
   )
);

tribe_create_event( $insert );
)
```
