Having a date added field ..?

Is there away to have a field that captures the date the link was added.
I want to put a date field by my links stating the date they were added.

I am not sure this is what you mean, but this is shown by default in links.html

mmmm.... i don't think it is..

What i mean is.. if I add or validate a link on 02/24/02... I want a way to add that date.. to the links.html page... with my link template. LInk when I added it.. and I want that date to always be there.. so it shows what sites have been added most recently.



?? Does that make sense....??

Hi,

This is exactly what my links.html does.

What template are you using? I used the yahoo template, and I never had to change a thing.

This is the part in the links template which displays the date added or edited, and it remains there as long as the link is in the database:

Added: <%Add_Date%>

If you are running in dynamic mode, it should update the dates automatically. If you are using static pages, you will have to click "Build Changed" from the build section of the admin panel. If you are using static pages, it is recommended that you rebuild periodically to make sure everything is up to date.
