K2 Article Date on front page

**GK User** Tue Jul 08, 2014 2:53 am

Hi,

How do I add back the date icon next to the K2 article on the front page like on the demo site? Do I need to add something to the beginning of the article itself?

It shows the date in a square when you go to the article itself.

Thanks for your help.

Anybody with a thought on this?

I have never used K2 before.

Hi

This date is a part of an NSP GK5 module, please look into documentation https://www.gavick.com/documentation/jo ... iguration/ and copy settings for module with number 10 in the list.

Thanks but this is the original module as setup with quickstart. I only changed row to 1 and the data source K2 Category.

I have compared the settings, everything else is the same as the documentation.

Please send me an access to joomla panel, so I'll check.

Hi

This is really odd. It acctually doesn't react to settings at all. Please send me an access to ftp I need to check why it's not working.

Sent you a PM with credentials.

Wonder if I should just delete the module and redo it from scratch?

Cheers

Hi

I'm afraid access is not working, but I've asked for help and there should be no need for an access. Module is reading a date from article page, so if there is no date activated in K2 item page, than module will not be able to use it. I hope it helps.

Thank you. I am new to K2, I have looked though all the parameters. The only mention of date I can find is "Item created date & time" which is set to show.

The K2 article itself seems to display the date no problems.

Hi

In such case I will be needing the access to ftp. Please send me the correct one and the joomla panel access since it has changed as well.

Any news on this one?
I've the same problem... Date shows SunJul 10 but I have absolutely no idea where that date is set in the article.
Also the already excisting article (after using Quick Install) "Criminal Justice Camp" has a date (WedAug 24) I can't find in the article-settings. Looks like NSP creates it's own date but that would be odd, wouldn'n it? :silly:

I found this code in the article which has a time-setting in class "datetime" So... to show proper time both dates (28-11-2016 and 24 July 2014) should actually be the same.

Code: Select all: <time class="gkEventDateStart" datetime="28-11-2016">24 July 2014</time> - <time class="gkEventDateEnd" datetime="29-07-2016">29 July 2014</time> </span> <span class="gkEventHours"> <time class="gkEventTimeStart" datetime="07:00">7:00 am</time> - <time class="gkEventTimeEnd" datetime="18:00">6:00 pm</time>

Anyway to show i.e. creationdate or is an article only to be edited in source-mode?

Hi

Yes this is the correct place. NSP is not using any settings of the article in this case but the value placed in HTML in content. Like:

Code: Select all: <time class="gkEventDateStart" datetime="28-11-2016">24 July 2014</time> - <time class="gkEventDateEnd" datetime="29-07-2016">29 July 2014</time>
