No article dates show up on my page, even though they are registered in the metadata. In my code (below) I’m using an article listing and last article. Neither displays dates. This is my code: <div id="cmenu3"> <?php $page_article = $this->find('/articles/'); ?> <span class="title3"><strong>Recent blog posts</strong></span><br /><br /> <?php foreach ($page_article->children(array('limit' => 7, 'offset' => 1, 'order' => 'page.created_on DESC')) as $article): ?> <strong><?php echo $article->date(); ?> ·</strong> <?php echo $article->link(); ?><br /> <?php endforeach; ?> </div> <div id="cmenu4"> <?php $last_article = $page_article->children(array('limit' => 1, 'order' => 'page.created_on DESC')); ?> <span class="title3"><strong>Latest post</strong></span><br /> <?php echo $last_article->link(); ?><br /> <br /> <?php echo $last_article->content(); ?> <?php if ($last_article->hasContent('extended')) echo $last_article->link('   More'); ?> <?php echo $last_article->date(); ?> </div>

Jul 27, 2009 04:37 uggi 12 posts	Thanks Craig, that works perfectly. Do you also know how to customize the formats? I’ve been trying `<?php echo $article->created_on('%A, %e %B %Y'); ?>` but that doesn’t seem to work.

Frog does not employ anyone to constantly monitor the forum for posts, so it relies on the free time of its members; who may or may not have jobs and families etc :)
