Last Edited Varaible

Unread post by Lindsay Colahan »

Hello,

Is there anyway to make a last edited variable that only updates when the topic is edited (and not just the project)? I would love to have a single variable that I could insert and then only see the variable update when an individual topic is modified.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi Lindsay,

You can use the <%TOPICLASTEDITED%> variable for that. It inserts date when the topic containing the variable was last edited in short format. The language and format are generated automatically to match the language set for your project. See here for details:

https://helpandmanual.com/help/index.ht ... _dates.htm

(There is currently an error in this topic: The <%TOPICLASTEDITED%> variable wasn't escaped in the text and it thus shows the date on which that topic was edited. This will be fixed ASAP... 8) )

Am I missing something?

These don't work for some reason.

<%NOW ("This topic was published on " dd/mm/yyyy)%>
<%TOPICLASTEDITED% ("This topic was last updated on " dd/mm/yyyy) %>

Thanks,

Lindsay
