add GUI for editing article timestamps

Asked by Buran

I'm porting news items over from Coranto and have copied the articles over; however, they've got the timestamp of when I entered them into the phpns form. I've found the timestamps in the SQL table and verified that they're using standard UNIX seconds and located a conversion utility for converting the original dates into the proper strings to use; however, there's no GUI to edit these easily in phpns.

Although I edited the timestamps successfully with phpMyAdmin and they now show the date/year I desire, it'd be a lot easier if there was a way to either manually add a timestamp when entering a new article (left blank, the current time would be used) or editing the timestamp when editing an article, or both.

I agree, this feature would be very beneficial to the project, and would make things much easier for the user.

The project is currently frozen from future feature introductions, but if I find time, it may be added to the bzr trunk. I'll reply to this question if and when it happens!

alecwh,

Any progress on this?

An option to include the datea post was last editedwould be great. Is this information stored in the database or would a new field be needed?

Thanks
