Why does the “Added Date” show as the last build date?

Why does the “Added Date” show as the last build date?
My directory seems to be working all OK, but the Added date shows as the last build date in the categories. My three levels of new graphics work OK, i.e. correct colour for how old.

I have obviously altered something, or doing something wrong.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Andy.

As has been discussed many times in the Discussion Forum....

1) Make sure that you only have one date tag in your globals section in the site_html_templates.pl file.

2) Make sure that the date tag is defined as follows in the globals section:

Code:
date = &get_date,

BTW: This tag <%date%> is today's date.

3) Make sure that you are using the other tag in your link.html file:

Code:
<%Date%>

or whatever the name of your DATE field is in your links.def file.

BTW: If you click on the link above the drop-down menu in the Edit templates screen, you will see a list of appropriate tags to use in each of the template files.

Eliot,

Thanks for your reply, and apologies if you have answered this question before.

Anyway, I checked the globals section of site_html_templates.pl and there are two date tags Date = &get_date and date = &get_date. As you mentioned two date’s in your reply one with uppercase D and one with lower case d, do I actually remove one?

The <%Date%> tag is the one being used in link.html.

Any more suggestions greatly appreciated.

Andy.
