Have upgraded - now News module not displaying date

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 -->

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.

®olf  :D

Robin,

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

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