Modified Date

Post by KMandalia »

Is there a modified date column in HTML table?I see that my 5.15 dowalk and search scripts refer to it but I can't use it to indicate newer results like the way google does. How can I indicate newer (new or changed) documents? I understand that it will work only when the server supplies those dates.

Definately don't want visited date because it's no good for me.

"Modified" is the name of the field containing the modified date. Compare that date to whatever you consider a "new" period. Maybe something like
<if $Modified gt '-1 week'>
New
</if>
You'll need to add Modifed to the list of fields selected in the search query.

Would the modified date be the same as created date if the page is never modified?

It will generally be the same as the created date if the webserver returns the date, or the date Webinator first sees it otherwise.
