Thanks Pascal,

You are completely right.  We have a 2.0 and a 2.2 version.  I’ve got a new PC 
and in the confusion I copied the wrong version onto the new PC.

Best regards…Paul

Hi Paul,

Hi,

I upgraded from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3 a few days ago.  I have a dissector( written in 
C) that I wrote a while back that works OK with 2.2.2 but not 2.2.3.  With the 
latter, on Wireshark start up I get:

  14:49:57          Err  Field 's-sitename' (iis_log.s_sitename) is a 
FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME but is being displayed as BASE_NONE instead of as a time

My definition for the field registration array is:

static hf_register_info hf[] = {
    { &hf_bds_type,
    { "BDS Type", "bds.type",
    FT_UINT16, BASE_DEC,
    vs_type, 0x0,
    NULL, HFILL }
    },

    { &hf_bds_format,
    { "BDS Format", "bds.format",
    FT_UINT16, BASE_DEC,
    vs_format, 0x0,
    NULL, HFILL }
    },

    { &hf_iis_s_sitename,
    { "s-sitename", "iis_log.s_sitename",
    FT_STRING, BASE_NONE, NULL, 0x0,
    "IIS site name", HFILL } },

   .
   .

I’m going to do some debugging this evening but I wondered if there have been 
any changes made to field registration.

Are you sure you are not using a plugin compiled against master-2.0 branch? It 
would lead to this kind of error due to the addition of FT_IEEE_11073_SFLOAT 
and FT_IEEE_11073_FLOAT values in epan/ftypes/ftypes.h: the numerical value for 
FT_STRING in 2.0 branch corresponds to FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME in 2.2 branch.
This file was not changed between 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.

Pascal.
