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.
If you want to display or use the lastUpdate field, you can use the 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() do when this plugin is not installed)
A new editable Publication Date field is displayed in Edit Page -- Options. Note that right now this editor is rudimentary (no fancy date picker) and has no error checking: If the date/time entered is invalid, it will be saved as the current datetime (like lastUpdate).
You can define the date[time] editing format by changing the GSEDITDATEFORMAT constant in the plugin.
Valid format examples that work (reverse order recommended):
'Y-m-d H:i' => 2011-12-31 01:01
'Y-m-d' => 2011-12-31
'Ymd' => 20111231
etc... (change the "-" for a "/", "." or another symbol -or none- if you wish)
Install Instructions:
Unzip and put pubdatefix.php in your site's plugins folder.
