Display date on which the article was last updated
I am displaying a list of articles in a section page. The idea was to display the article name and the date on which it was updated. Artilces do not change. More content is added to them. So, I needed to display the date on which it was modified.
It seems that txp:posted displays the date on which the article ws originally created ?
This is the Page used to list the articles:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”>
<html xmlns=“http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=“en” lang=“en”>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=“Content-Type” content=“text/html; charset=utf-8” />
<title><txp:page_title /></title> <txp:css format=“link” />
</head>
<body>
<!— accessibility —>
<div id=“container”>
<!— head —>
<div id=“head”>
<h3><txp:link_to_home><txp:sitename /> : <txp:section title=“1” /></txp:link_to_home></h3>
<h3>Click on the individual name for more details.</h3>
</div>
<!— left —>
<!— right —>
<!— center —>
<div id=“first”><txp:article allowoverride=“0” form=“default” pageby=“10” limit=“20” listform=“Excerpts” pgonly=“0” searchall=“0” searchsticky=“0” sort=“Posted desc” status=“4” /></div>
<!— footer —> <div id=“foot”> </div>
</div>
====================================================
default form looks like this:
<h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink> · <txp:posted /></h3>
<txp:body />
<p>— <txp:author /></p>
<txp:comments_invite wraptag=“p” />
<div><img src=”<txp:site_url />images/1.gif” width=“400” height=“1” class=“divider” alt=”—-” title=”“ /></div>
====================================================
Is there some way to capture the last updated date for an article ?
Thanks,
SS

Re: Display date on which the article was last updated
You can sort on the last modified date by setting the ‘sort’ attribute (sort="LastMod ASC" or sort="LastMod DESC") in the article or article_custom tag.
