NewsListing display Publish date in stead of Creation Date

Is this possible in any way? I want to be able to alter the date showed on the newspost, but altering the integer values with phpadmin scares me

Yes! Working on it now.

Thank you! I’ve never seen any other open source software with this kind of support. You guys are doing a great job!

Attached is a temporary hack to the NewsListing snippet which can sort by createdon (default), editedon, or pub_date. You just need to add a snippet parameter of &datetype=`pub_date` to sort by and display this column instead of createdon (though please note, if no pub_date is assigned to the document, the createdon date is used).

This is a hack because it does not exclude documents which users do not have access to, as the original version does. We are working on a permanent solution in conjunction with some core API changes to improve this functionality. It also will not respect the showInMenu indicator at the moment. More soon.

NOTE: Just copy this over your current NewsListing snippet (you might create a duplicate of the original so you can revert back if this doesn’t work for you for any reason).

This works just the way I wanted to. Thnx!

Thanks, i threw this in, BUT:
Pub_date cannot be set in my environment because JavaScript failure (IE6 with some wraparound). I insist on making the date fields plain text entry, maybe with JavaScript checking.

Hi cryptomancer,

Please log this in the bugtracker so we can get it addressed for 0.9.1. Good catch!

Whaow, there are many modified version of this snippet now : NewsListingPlus, NewsListing longtitle... We could almost compile theses changes into one feature packed snippet

Thanks for sharing

Hmm...good idea! I might play with the snippet and see what I can do.

Well isn’t NewsListing 1.2 integrating all these ?
