How to change published_when of news articles (WB 2.7) ###SOLVED###

[Chaploo]

Hi everyone,

I'm just setting up an new WB site for a hotel. They have press articles on their old website and I've just put them into the news module of the new WB site. The Problem: Published_when shows the current date and not the former date when the news were originally published. Now I tried to change the published_when date of the news articles in the database. The format is 1212799560 for example, which is the sum of seconds since the 1st of January 1970, 0 AM. But even though I changed these numbers to the dates I needed, the website still shows the current date. Even when I edit the news in the backend and put the start date to an older date, nothing changes. even after reload and emptying cache.

Does enybody have an idea?

Thanks in advance, regards
Jochen

Hello,

as far as i remember, the news-modules shows the wrong(?) date by default.
In News-Module-->Settings-->Post Loop

it should read [PUBLISHED_DATE]
instead of [MODI_TIME], [MODI_DATE]

Cool! Now it works! When I change the date in the database it shows in the frontend too!

Thanks alot !!!
