[SOLVED] Website updated automatic date stamp? Is it possible?

I am using CMS for my Intranet site where we post policies and frequent business updates.
At the present time on my home page I have a heading that states
"NEW DOCUMENTS ADDED on 12/01/2010"
Every time I add/change pages I have to manually change the date....
Is there a way to add some kind of tag that would "detect" any website changes and put the date stamp for me?
Thanks...

Help for the modified_date tag
What does this do?
Prints the date and time the page was last modified. If no format is given, it will default to a format similar to 'Jan 01, 2004'.
How do I use it?
Just insert the tag into your template/page like: {modified_date format="%A %d-%b-%y %T %Z"}
What parameters does it take?
* (optional)format - Date/Time format using parameters from php's strftime function. See here for a parameter list and information.
Grtz. Rolf

I'm not sure if that's what he was asking for. He doesn't want a timestamp on the current page to say what the last update time was.. He wants a tag on his home page to say the last time any page was updated.
If no one can help, I'll see if I can come up with a UDT that will do just this in the next couple of days if I can get some free time after work.

Are you sure that's what you wanted? {modified_date} only shows you the timestamp of the current page.

don't work too hard, wishbone - some of your work might already be done. Have you seen/used the {recently_updated} tag?
or there is a UDT in the wiki, "Date of the latest modification on the site" (
