Hi there – Any ideas how I can change the way the SideNews module works so it will display by ‘Modified’ date instead of created? This would be so much more useful for me….

In an ideal world I’d want both – so it would show the latest article whether by modify or creation date – That way brand new articles would show and modified ones would show…

But I’d settle for just ‘modified’ instead of ‘created’…

Any ideas what I need to change to get it working?

Thanks!

Hello acbonner!

Now, You open file: “modulesmod_jasidenewstmpldefault.php” and find a section code at line 11:

[PHP]$item->date = strtotime ( $item->modified ) ? $item->created : $item->modified;[/PHP]

you replace them by this code:
[PHP]$item->date = !strtotime ( $item->modified ) ? $item->created : $item->modified;[/PHP]

good luck.

Thanks for speedy reply. Did you try this tweak yourself? Doesn’t seem to make any difference on mine at all…. I did a full browser refresh and set to no cache too – nothing :confused:

It work done on my site.
May be you do not turn off cache in the configuration of ja sidenews.
You try to check again.
