We need to show the published date on the blog, we have over 800 articles that we imported so we need an easy fix or hack to get the published date to show over the creation date.

Why isn't this already a feature? It is part of Joomla core.
Is there some PHP that needs to be changed out?
Please provide direction on how to change this.

Thanks!

Hello Jeff,

Currently there is no settings for this but what you can do is to edit the file /components/com_easyblog/themes/default/config.xml and modify the codes below,



		<param type="list" name="creation_source" label="COM_EASYBLOG_THEME_POSTED_DATE_SOURCE" description="COM_EASYBLOG_THEME_POSTED_DATE_SOURCE_DESC" default="created">

			<option value="created">COM_EASYBLOG_CREATED</option>

			<option value="modified">COM_EASYBLOG_LAST_MODIFIED</option>

		</param>

Change it to,



		<param type="list" name="creation_source" label="COM_EASYBLOG_THEME_POSTED_DATE_SOURCE" description="COM_EASYBLOG_THEME_POSTED_DATE_SOURCE_DESC" default="created">

			<option value="created">COM_EASYBLOG_CREATED</option>

			<option value="modified">COM_EASYBLOG_LAST_MODIFIED</option>

                        <option value="publish_up">Publish date</option>

		</param>

Then, go to the Themes section at the back end of EasyBlog and click on the default theme. Then, configure the posted date source.
