How do I add a last updated timestamp to the footer of my Orchard website? That is, the date when a change was made to the content via the CMS admin.
You don't have to add it, it's already there on the Common part, it's the published date if you want the date of the latest publication of the item, or the modified date if you really want the last time the item had any modification. Add this to a template override for the common part (parts.common.metadata.cshtml): #Model.ContentPart.PublishedUtc or #Model.ContentPart.ModifiedUtc

I'm working on a crawler project, in my project I need the last modified date of the website to be added as important information. Is there any way to do this?
I'm new to Orchard CMS and trying to create a query that will filter a list of upcoming events date. What I want to do is filter a list of upcoming events. I have set up a list and plan to use the creation date (setting the date to the event date) as filter. Where I have ran into an issue is getting the filter value to work. When I set the filter value to {DateTimeField.Date} for get the current date or any of the other date options, the filter does not work. It show all events. When I manually type in the value field "2014-08-20", it works. Any ideas of why I can not set the date to the current date?
I have also tried creating just a date field within the content definition and received the same issue as above. I do plan to create a Event End Date that will not show, but will be used to filter. I assume the value will be very similar though to what would be needed for the creation date though.
I am using Orchard CMS 1.8.0
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
The current date can be obtained in Token form like this: {Date}. That token itself can be modified as a date token. In particular, it can be formatted. In your case, because the filter will construct a HQL filtering clause from your expression, {Date.Format:yyyy-MM-dd} will put the current date into the right format.
I create one javascript function For calculate the No.Of Days from created Date and show in one Field.
And I add that script in Form Load and as well Form Save Actions.It was Working Fine.
Now My question is,I need to trigger that javascript function grid's(view) refresh.Or I need to calculate and show the No Of Days Field without opening Form.
Now the noofdays field affected when the form will getting open.
I need noofdays field automatically updated From the Created on date?How to do this...Thanks in Advance
Trigger an javaScript function without opening the from is not possible.
If i understood correctly, you want to display the time period between the creation and current date in days.
If so:
A Solution would be:
On creation of the record the noofdays field will always be 1 or 0. However you look at it.
So you can fill that field on creation per default to 1 per Plugin, JS, or simply per workflow.
Now you need to update this field each day via workflow.
The workflow must retrieve all records, calcualte and update the noofdays field.
I reccomend to run this workflow after midnight.
The other solution: (I do not reccomend)
Create an Plugin which is registerd to the message "retrieve" and "retrieve multiple".
If the message is triggered, check if you are in the right entity and fake the output of the noofdays field or update it.
In my list i have created calculated field to get the difference between the last modified date and today's date.
I use the formula
=datedif([modified],[today],"d")
It is throwing an error : The formula contains reference(s) to field(s).
Please advise.
I do not have a separate column to hold today's date.
Regretfully, you cannot use [Today] for calculated fields. Calculated fields only update when an item is modified, so the Today Trick of creating a column named Today, setting your calculated field, then deleting that column, is a bad move.
You have a couple options, the best of which is probably to use JavaScript within a Content Editor Web Part on the page to do the calculation for you. You could also try using SharePoint designer and custom XPath and xslt to get "days since modified" to appear on your page.
Generally, if you want something to identify items that haven't been modified in a while, it should be done with filter library views: they can use [Today], and they don't require tricks or workarounds.
I have created a date time field I made today's date as the default value, Then I added it to a page layout and created a page, But the current Date Time is not picking up from the system.
I dont want to give the user to select a Date Time instead it should populated automatically
Is there anyway to achieve this without writing code in code behind files?
This is very similar to this question I think
SO - How to get Date and current time from the Date/Time column in SharePoint Custom list
My answer there gives a few options such as using the built in Created field, using a calendar template, a JavaScript hack and a custom field type.
Guys, fake [Today] trick worked for us - but prob is we only got the date value not datetime.
Janis, is it possible to get date and time both from the fake [today] column trick? pls refer few articles on the same
Does [Today] work?
If you have language pack applied to SharePoint, then you must use localized "Today" string.
