    GETITEM "updateDate" no longer in use in V4?

    Extending Umbraco

    Hi,

    I'm having troubles with updatedDate <?UMBRACO_GETITEM field="updateDate" formatAsDate="true"/?> tag.


    This was working perfectly until upgraded from Umbraco 3 to 4.0.4.2. When I preview my pages the date doesn't show up but when I view the page source the tag is still there in the footer. Is this tag no longer compatible? If not is there another way to do this without creating any xslt?

    Any help will be much appreciated

    - Kim

    Hi Kim

    This should still work in 4.0.4.2 - Have you republished the entire site after the upgrade?

    This line should output the same thing in 4.x:

    <umbraco:Item field="updateDate" runat="server" xslt="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime({0}, 'YOUR-FORMAT-HERE')" />

    @ Jan - I've republished the site and the date still doesnt show

    @ Patrik - I tried adding this but and adding 'dd-mm-year' as my date format and it hasn't worked...have I done it correctly?

    Thanks for your help though

    Try 'dd-MM-yyyy'

    (I think) it adheres to the standard ASP.NET Date/Time Format Strings

    I tried it with <umbraco:Item field="updateDate" runat="server" xslt="umbraco.library:FormatDateTime({0}, 'd MMMM, yyyy')" /> and it worked!

    Thanks for all your help!
