PublishedOn not pulling data

Hi guys,

I am using getPage / getResources to create an index news page section in my site. This pulls the articles from a folder and on this index page uses a TPL to render them in a short list - this list includes the PUBLISHEDON tag - however when I view the index page - the PUBLISHEDON tag is not rendering the actual Published ON date??? Its showing the date the article was created... I have manually set these published dates to be in the past (as I am collecting past articles into the new site), but still only get the date that I created the article???

Any ideas?

Code as below:

Main snippet call:

[[!getPage?
   &elementClass=`modSnippet`
   &element=`getResources`
 
   &parents=`30`
   &depth=`2`
   &limit=`10`
   &pageVarKey=`page`
 
   &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` &includeContent=`1` &showHidden=`1`

 
   &tpl=`NewsAndEvents_IndexTpl`
]]

Template Chunk:

<!-- NEWS ITEM -->
<div class="newsItemWrapper">
<div class="newsItemLHS"><h5>[[*publishedon:strtotime:date=`%d/%m/%y`]]</h5></div>
<h2><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]" target="_self" title="Read more about [[*pagetitle]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a></h2>
<div class="newsItemMID">
<p>[[+introtext]]</p>
</div>
<div class="newsItemRHS"><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]" target="_self" title="Read more about [[*pagetitle]]" class="moreButton">More...</a></div>
<div class="hr"><hr/></div>
</div>
<!-- end of NEWS ITEM -->

you need to use the placeholder-tags, not the TV/Resource-field-tags:

[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%d/%m/%y`]]

The placeholder-tags are replaced by the values of the resource listed by getResources.

The TV/Resource-field-tags are replaced by the the values of the Resource which you actually have requested.

Born from sheer inexperience I had a problem today (v2.4.2) with getResources and showing the publish date. It seems [[*publishedon]] used on the article page itself produces a date string, while the [[+publishedon]] placeholder generated by getResources produces a unix timestamp. The apparent difference being that getResources is using strtotime before setting the placeholder.

The most obvious issue I've experienced is that on my page template I used:

[[*publishedon:strtotime:date=`%d/%m/%y`]]

But in my article summary chunk for the main blog page I had to shorten it to:

[[+publishedon:date=`%d/%m/%y`]]

...dropping ":strtotime" because it was no longer necessary. All good for efficiency I suppose, but I had to spend quite a bit of time trying to work out what was going on. Is this a known discrepancy or am I just misunderstanding something?
