[opencms-dev] injecting Publish Date/Timestamp into page

[] Code Create []

Hi Chris,

why don't you simply use "getDateLastModified".
Because, if it is not published it doesn't matter.
If it is published the date last modified should be fine if there is not
a too great time span in between. If there is you could just refresh the
resource prior to publishing it.

Me, I use an extra schema field/property to set a real publication date
(date issued).
Because I don't want to have this "issued date" changed, just because I
republish a resource for technical reasons, like orthography errors, or
if you have to republish the whole site for some other reason ... all
publish dates would be the same ...; i assume, that's not what you want.

For the same reason I have an extra field/property for the last edit
date too :D

All the best, Bernd
