Hello,
I'm trying to show the publication date of blog posts in the latest blogs module and also in the archive module. But they both show the creation date. How can I get them to display the publication dates of the blog posts? I cannot find the settings for that.
I've set the question to urgent as the site needs to go live.
Best,
Ineke
Hey Ineke,

Currently the modules are only displaying blog posts by creation date. If you want to change this, edit the module's template file and replace the codes below:



<?php echo $post->getCreationDate(true)->format($params->get('dateformat', JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC3'))); ?>


With,



<?php echo $post->getPublishDate()->format($params->get('dateformat', JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC3'))); ?>
