Silverstripe crashes when trying to save a date

Question

I'm trying to create a very simple performance class that extends dataobject and has a date for one of the fields but for some reason if I fill it out when I press 'Add' it just hangs. I've checked in the Chrome inspector and it fires off the Ajax request but the request never returns anything, I've even tried leaving it for a few minutes and still nothing returns and nothing gets puts in the error log either. If I leave the date blank and just fill out the text field it works fine, here is the code I'm using.

class Performance extends DataObject {
    static $db = array(
        'Title' => 'Varchar(255)',
        'StartDate' => 'Date',
    );

    static $summary_fields = array(
        'Title' => 'Title',
        'Starts' => 'StartDate',
    );

    static $has_one = array(
        'Production' => 'ProductionPage'
    );  
}

What's really weird is if I grab the ArticlePage class from the extending Silverstripe tutorial it works fine, it's just if I try and do it with a DataObject rather than a page that I run into this.

Would really appreciate any help with this, I've been struggling with it for hours now.

There's absolutely nothing in the log? Maybe you could also show the code for accessing the two fields in the CMS? — xeraa, Aug 13 '11 at 15:54

Try the Legacydatetimefields module: http://www.silverstripe.org/legacydatetimefields-module/

There was a change of how Silverstripe handles date and time in the latest version (2.4) which means some older code dealing with date and time doesn't work.

Hope this helps.
