Have upgraded - now News module not displaying date

[robinmarek]

I'd imagine it's something very simple, but couldn't see a solution....

I've just upgraded a CMSMS site that was originally 1.4.1, now in 1.5.2

Everything seems to be working lovely (touch wood) but the dates have disappeared on the articles - any ideas?

Change all instances of

Code: Select all

{$entry->formatpostdate|cms_date_format}

to

Code: Select all

{$entry->postdate|cms_date_format}

in your news templates.

Hmmm, I just tried that but doesn't seem to do anything,

The Summary News template is this (albeit my stripped down version)

Code: Select all

<!-- Start News Display Template -->
{if $pagecount > 1}
  <p>
{if $pagenumber > 1}
{$firstpage} {$prevpage} 
{/if}
{$pagetext} {$pagenumber} {$oftext} {$pagecount}
{if $pagenumber < $pagecount}
 {$nextpage} {$lastpage}
{/if}
</p>
{/if}
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
<div class="NewsSummary">

{if $entry->formatpostdate} 
	<div class="NewsSummaryPostdate">
		{$entry->formatpostdate}
	</div>
<br />
{/if}

<div class="NewsSummaryLink">
	{$entry->titlelink}
</div>


{if $entry->summary}

	<div class="NewsSummaryMorelink">
		{$entry->morelink}
	</div>

{else if $entry->content}


{/if}

{if isset($entry->extra)}
    <div class="NewsSummaryExtra">
        {eval var=$entry->extra}
	{* {cms_module module='Uploads' mode='simpleurl' upload_id=$entry->extravalue} *}
    </div>
{/if}
{if isset($entry->fields)}
  {foreach from=$entry->fields item='field'}
     <div class="NewsSummaryField">
        {if $field->type == 'file'}
          <img src="{$entry->file_location}/{$field->value}"/>
        {else}
          {$field->name}: {eval var=$field->value}
        {/if}
     </div>
  {/foreach}
{/if}

</div>
{/foreach}
<!-- End News Display Template -->

Change this

Code: Select all

{$entry->formatpostdate}

to

Code: Select all

{$entry->postdate}

I tried that but it doesn't seem to have worked

Anyone got a solution?

Hey Robinmarek,

Please mail use some more info...
How do call the news module in your template for instance? {news..........}

The code Ziggywigged sent you is correct. This should be working.
You have to change this in your news templates.
See also the help function of the news module.

Robin,

in the summary-template you posted, is still the 'formatpostdate' available....

There should the "formatpostdate" be replaced with "postdate"....
