Publish date in template

1. publish-up date is alterable by editors that have publish privilege

alterable, but not visible for visitor

if we write about something that happened yesterday, we want yersterdays date

ggppdk wrote: 3. so since publish-up time will be in the past why don't you use a custom date field ?

because most of the time the automatic publication date is fine. we just want to be able to edit it sometimes. And sorting on a custom field is in a module still not possible (but that is in an other thread)

ggppdk wrote: about using publish_up in your templates i will add it to available data for every item, in next commit

that wil give me the option to add it to the template by dragging, like i can do now with most other core fields and custom fields, right?


i did implement your code for de module file, now trying to apply cutom date format to it

thanks

Hello,

if we write about something that happened yesterday, we want yersterdays date

if it is in future then item will not be visible that is what i meant ... so you cannot display items that have future publish_up anyway. In short i was telling you can use this only and only if all items have past publish up date.

that wil give me the option to add it to the template by dragging, like i can do now with most other core fields and custom fields, right?

no i was not speaking of a new core field, i was speaking of adding ability to used by developers, in templates of FLEXIcontent universal module

Regards

clear and workable

no i was not speaking of a new core field, i was speaking of adding ability to used by developers, in templates of FLEXIcontent universal module

ok, but how about displaying it in the component templates? i thought i would be able to drag it in the tempate (in category or item view) like create date and other core fields. i'm not sure if that requires a new core field or just making an already existing (joomla)field visible.

ps. i will register to JED especially to add a review to flexicontent, but how about updating it to a 2.5 compatible component there?

In template you will have to modify template files (remember to duplicate them first via template manager)


1. the category_items.php (category view)
and add either (blog template): or
3. item.php (item view)
and add:

Code:

<?php echo $item->publish_up ?>

should be ?

yes, see other code,
also it depends on template
e.g. if you do at top of file:

<?php $item = & $this->item; ?>

then you can use both
