Hi,

I have a site with news articles. On the test site hosted on my server (http://preview.bbcreativeperth.com.au/tsow/resources/news-and-newsletters/) it works fine, but when i upload it to the live server hosted on Crazy Domains (http://www.thesourceofwellness.com.au/resources/news-and-newsletters) the article date doesn't show. The code is exactly the same and I checked the phpinfo and most appear the same.

It's also the same for the rss feed. Any ideas on what could be the issue?

Cheers,
Ben

Anyone got any ideas? Really need a solution ASAP... thanks!

Hard to tell without any code samples... How's the date represented in your template? Any custom functionality involved?

[EDIT] As you posted this in the Other modules section - are you using some third party News module?

Hi,

I didn't know which forum to post it in... but it uses the standard news page type code from the tutorial (http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/tutorials/2-extending-a-basic-site/)

The date works in the CMS and is stored, but when I use the code $Date.Nice in the template, nothing shows. I know the code is right because it works on my localhost and testing server, just not the live site hosted on CrazyDomains.

Cheers for getting back to me.

I suppose there might be something in your server config not playing nice...

To rule out some things: if you replace $Date.Nice with $Date in your template, do you then see the (raw) date?

No it doesn't show the raw date either. I did try that.

Are you sure both sites are the same? As I'm seeing more differences, for instance:

The 'posted on' paragraph is missing from the article itself on the live site
The 'back to' button is missing its title in the article on the live site

It could be some small code change triggering this... Can you post the template code?

The functionality was the same, i had just made a couple of small changes to the live site. I have now uploaded the latest scripts to the test site and it still shows the date...

The layout template code is:

<% loop LatestNews %>
<article>
<h5><a href="$Link" title="Read more">$Title</a> &nbsp; <span><em>$Date.Nice</em> &nbsp; $Content.FirstSentence</span></h5>
</article>
<% end_loop %>

And the code in mysite/ArticleHolder.php is:

public function LatestNews($num=5) {
$holder = ArticleHolder::get()->First();
return ($holder) ? ArticlePage::get()->filter('ParentID', $holder->ID)->sort('Date DESC')->limit($num) : false;
}
