Looking at `image_26bcba.jpg` and `image_26bc62.png`, you have caught a major structural bug and an equally important UX limitation. ### 1. The Troubleshooting Diagnosis (Why it reads Jan 1, 1970) In `image_26bcba.jpg`, the browser's native HTML5 `` picker formats the dates as strings like `2026-06-12T16:40`. However, when saved, your server receives that string and doesn't explicitly parse it before writing it to the database post-meta. When the frontend grid loads in `image_26bc62.png`, the rendering engine runs `strtotime()` on a raw unparsed string. Because the string value format doesn't match what the function expects, it breaks down and reverts to the standard Unix epoch baseline: **January 1, 1970**. ### 2. The Expert UX & Flow Critique From an enterprise UX standpoint, a single date picker fails because **it only defines a starting point, not a duration or an end point.** If a Mentor selects `06/12/2026 04:40 PM`, the Mentee has no idea if they are booking a quick 15-minute introductory check-in, a 30-minute strategic conversation, or a full 1-hour coaching block. This introduces massive friction: * **Mentor Anxiety:** Mentors won't publish slots if they are worried a session will blindly bleed past their next commitment. * **Mentee Hesitation:** Mentees don't know how much content or how many questions to prepare because they don't know their time budget. ### 3. The Best-Practice Blueprint Solution To match the premium feel of tools like Mentorship Rocket or Calendly, we need to completely redefine the database structure and the frontend interface to handle a clean **Time Slot + Duration Flow**. Instead of making users manually type durations, the best practice is to pair a **Start Date & Time picker** with a crisp, brand-aligned **Duration Dropdown Menu** (e.g., 30 Minutes, 45 Minutes, 1 Hour). --- ### Rebuilding the Engine: Plugin Version 1.5.0 I have completely refactored the entire code file below to solve the Unix epoch date bug and implement the advanced time slot architecture. #### What this new code does: * **Fixes the 1970 Bug:** Properly handles the date formatting strings so they save and display flawlessly. * **Introduces Duration Architectures:** Adds an explicit structural dropdown for every individual slot on the backend registration panel. * **Polishes the Frontend UX:** The public gallery cards now render calculated end-times and clean duration badges (e.g., `Jun 12, 2026 @ 4:40 PM - 5:40 PM (60 Mins)`), removing all guesswork for the mentee. You can follow the exact dashboard update steps you used previously to deploy this updated file! ### File: `law-society-mentorship-poc.php` ```php
Qualifies for 4.5 hours, and 1.0 Ethics
TCU Place, 35 – 22nd Street East, Saskatoon
Join us for a full-day seminar on resolving Family Law matters at various stages of proceedings prior to trial. From summary judgment applications to binding pre-trial conferences, the morning sessions will inform practitioners of their duties when preparing for applications, negotiations, and settlement of claims. Presenters will provide guidance for running an effective pre-trial conference with topics such as preparing the pre-trial brief, applications in advance, and considerations around self-represented litigants and interpersonal violence. The afternoon will focus on effective documentation of resolutions using Interspousal Agreements and Minutes of Settlement. The sessions will provide drafting considerations involving tax implications and dealing with third parties and will discuss when to consider pursuing a final Judgment. Presenters will explore avenues for further resolution when the pre-trial conference does not result in a settlement, or there is a desire to vary the terms of the settlement. This will include discussion of the legislation, case law and process around viva voce hearings.
