I'm trying to get date filters to work with this module but it just doesn't seem to work.
Reproduction steps:
- Create a content type (A) with a date field.
- Create a view with exposed filter of type 'between' on that date field.
- Create another content type (B) with a field_embed_views field, using that view.
- Create some test content (A) with different values for the date field.
- Create a node of type (B) and set the filter to any range.
Expected result:
Filter is saved and limits view results to the range.
Actual result:
Filter is saved, but not shown in the edit form (B) and thus emptied again on save.
View shows items with a date value outside the range.
Viewing node B give an error:
( ! ) Fatal error: Cannot create references to/from string offsets nor overloaded objects in /includes/common.inc on line 6727

I did a lot of digging but I've become lost.
It appears to be that different date module functions are called when field_embed_views creates the filter and when views creates the filter.

JvE commentedThis does solve the problem of date filter settings not being stored.
But it introduces the problem that the filters no longer work.
I'm going to dig deeper to find some way to create compatibility between this module and the date module.

JvE commentedI've added a Feature in bug2687589.zip that demonstrates the problem.
- enable feature.
- create a new TestContent node with something filled in for the filter.
- submit and crash
