This is both a Joomla and a Teline II problem: When entering articles, I would like to be able to overwrite the creation date/time without having to save the article first and then opening it again in the article manager and change the creation date/time. The reason why wishing to do so is that Teline II displays the creation date/time and not the publish up date/time next in the header of the article. This is a problem with a news site where an article is sometime entered a day or two after the event, but the date/time stamp in the article header should reflect the date/time of the event rather than the date/time of the article entry.

I can see two solutions to this:

1) Adding a line for the creation date/time field in the Joomla article submission form. I was able to add a row with the creation date/time field above the publish up and and down fields in the article entry form, but couldn’t find the spot where to change the code where the entered value is then written into the content record. Maybe you can tell me what I need to do.

2) Or, making Teline II display the publish up date/time instead of the creation date/time, in which case I need to know how to do that.
