Support/Comments for AuthorTimestamp

Hi, I’m trying to use this snippet in a document created with NewsPublisher, but with this simple call: [[AuthorTime]] it doesn’t show anything

Have you saved the snippet with that name? Does the snippet work with other documents that are not made using newspublisher?

No

I’m using modx 0.9.5

same here. the pages generated made by newspublisher snippet doesnt work - but snippet does work for non-newspublisher pages...

do i need an alternative to docinfo?

Hi folks,

I don’t get this snippet working. No matter what I choose (editeon, pub_date) it always shows "01-Jan-70 01:00" (author is correctly identified). I checked the snipet [[DateTime]], this works flawlessly. I’m using modx-0.9.6-rc3.

BTW, I checked this on different servers with different versions of mysql and php. Same result.

how about ’createdon’?

Same. Anything I can do for debugging? I’m not experienced in php, but more than 10 years dealing with linux systems. A preposter also mentioned the same issue (longer ago) but didn’t tell whether he solved the problem or not. It bugs me that this happens on three different machines (a webhosted server without console access, my own server and a test installtion on a notebook).

PS. I just took a look at the db with myswldumper. The table "modx_site_content" shows createdon and editedon with different dates. BTW, int the snippet there is a line

$usedDate=’[variable]’ <--- in the examples it says "editeon", but the rows name is editedon. Anyway, I both tried

$usedDate=’editeon’ and
$usedDate=’editedon’

it still celebrates the unix’ birthday.

Don’t kill me, but after using the "d" in createdon or editedon and using the option "execute snippet after saving" it finally worked. "pub_date" coudn’t work because I don’t fill out that form. But it looks like the reason was the wrong naming of the rows.

Anyway, it might be a good idea to update the header of the snippet. In all examples it says "createon", editeon ..." and that seems to give back no error but an empty value. Nonetheless you put me into the right direction. Thx a lot!

The snippet dosen’t works with NewsPublisher document..
Is there a simple solution to this problem?
Thanks a lot.

Is it possible to display a date set by a custom TV ?

eg: [!AuthorTimestamp? &dateFormat=`%d %B %Y` &usedDate=`[*item-date*]` &tpl=`By <strong>[+Author+]</strong> on [+Date+]`!]
