PubDate Fix (publication date)

Plugin Description:

Makes GetSimple pages' date field fixed and editable, and adds new replacement lastUpdate field.

It makes GS functions (template tags) get_page_date() and return_page_date() work like a blog post's date (that remains unchanged when you re-edit it).

If you want to display or use the lastUpdate field, you can use the following helper functions/template tags:

• get_page_lastupdate($dateformat)
• return_page_lastupdate($dateformat)

(they work exactly like GetSimple's get_page_date() and return_page_date() would if this plugin was not installed)

A new editable Publication Date field is displayed (with an optional jQuery date/time picker) in Edit Page -- Options.

Optional gsconfig.php settings:

PUBDATEPICKER

Disable the datepicker with:

define('PUBDATEPICKER', false);

PUBDATEFORMAT

Lets you customize the date[time] editing format. Default is 'Y-m-d H:i' (for e.g. 2015-12-31 23:59)

Some examples that work:

define('PUBDATEFORMAT','Y/m/d H.i'); // ==> 2015/12/31 23.59
define('PUBDATEFORMAT','Y-m-d');     // ==> 2015-12-31
define('PUBDATEFORMAT','Ymd');       // ==> 20151231
