Any idea why this tag {DATE_ARTICLE} won't work?

I created a .tmpl file under this directory template/inc_cntpart/articlesummary/list/ but it doesn't seem to work. I mean it shows the date and all but it shows not the actual date when the article was created. My site looks so funny! It has 3 articles with the same freaking dates. Did I do something wrong?

Also, how do you modify the date based on the country you're in? ... particularly GMT + 8:00

Any help from you pro's would be greatly appreciated!

That tag is the equivalent of "Last Modified". If you create an article and never change it...it will remain what you are referring to (ie. creation date) BUT, if you, subsequently EDIT that article (or even just re-save it without making any changes) ...you have (in effect) updated that article and thusly, the new date is stored with the content in the database.

Also, how do you modify the date based on the country you're in? ... particularly GMT + 8:00

How about whenever you create or edit an article that you set the start date to the previous day. Wouldn't that do it? It's a LOT easier than trying to figure the number of hours difference. It's obvious you can't make a database server (that is 8 hrs behind your time) change it's timekeeping method or basis, right... and maybe it's not practical to atttempt to code some geo-IP solution that would compensate for time difference? Dunno

sample.tmpl

Code: Select all

Exactly, thanks But why can't I use it in article listing template?
It only works in article summary template.

? anyone?

? anyone?

Probably, because that particular coding was devised a LONG time ago as an unsupported (by the phpWCMS author) set of addon replacement tags. The templating system evolved later on and support for defining the WAK tag usage (in templates) AND support for parsing those WAK tags in the templates did not get implemented.

So, there is no way to use the creation date in templates?
I find it hard to believe

[dellos]

I have still the same problem in 1.4.5 is there some solution ?? Why the date changing form creation date to editon date ??

[flip-flop]

Please have a look to:

Code: Select all

Livedate: {LIVEDATE:d.m.Y H:i:s lang=EN} / Killdate: {KILLDATE:d.m.Y H:i:s lang=EN}

Please have a look into your article list- and summary template.
