Hello,
i wonder if there are any backend parameters for the date display? I checked your documention links and screenshots, but i can´t find any infos. Your content selection and order parameters seem to be very versatile though...
I am interested to buy your ME Resources compatible Modules, but the date output and formatting is a must-have. IMHO
Thanks for listening. |

Hi, there a not any back-end parameters for date display at the moment.
I assume you are referring to the creation and modification date of the article. Can you tell me what sort of parameters you would find useful? I can't promise that we would introduce these features, but it is always helpful to us to know what sort of features customers want. |

Hello,
yes, i am missing the creation and modification date. Its crucial for any news display.
Usefull options for backend:
- show create date
- show modify date
- option to select only "upcoming" articles with a date in the future
- sort order ASC/DESC by the chosen date
- maybe standard output for date based on language/ini. files
- additional field for custom formatting
- placement of the date output (before or after title, on new line etc...)
Thanks for listening. |

Thanks for your comments, I think that I agree with most of them, there ought to be some options for the display of the date in the backend.
In fact the modules can display dates. If you add the following comment tags to particular articles
<!--author:%date %author -->
the module will add a date and author.
However I don't think this is a particularly good way of doing this, and some module parameters would be better.
Also the featured items modules can already order articles by creation and modification date.
I think that your requested option to publish only future articles is possibly a bit too custom for a general module. In general these are good ideas though and we almost certainly will include them in future releases. |

another date idea
I read your documentation and found some info about the supported resources field types.
Besides the typical article dates, what about the resources date field? Would be a nice addition.
Thanks for listening. |

We have now added the option to display the created and/or the last updated date for the featured items modules and the newstab module. This includes an optional date formatting string. |
