    Hello members,

    I have managed to install and read the documentation on MODx. Just begining with a client project.

    How can I do this?
    Insert the "unpublish date" of a document in the <head> like this...
    <meta http-equiv="expires" content="Thu, 27 Apr 2006 13:00:00 GMT" />

    I have created a "chunk" and placed all my <head> content in that chunck, which in turn gets placed on all templaes.

    Hope i’m doing it right, with the chunk.

      >create an expire meta tags :
      - name: everything you want
      - tag:expires

        Thanks banzai,

        The document already has a document specific variable called "unpub_date" look here http://modxcms.com/document-tvs.html

        Can’t I use the same one.

          That’s where the [*unpub_date*] comes from. However, that’s a Unix timestamp. You’ll need a snippet or TV to format that into a proper date/time for HTML, then use the snippet or TV in that spot.
