How To Update News Publication Date?

Posted by Community Admin on 16-Sep-2011 00:00

Hi Everyone!

Can you please tell me how can I modify the publication date of the news items?
I allowed the PublishDate to visible from custom field options and it is displaying on the edit mode of news but when I update the publish date it does not update.I am using sitefinity 4.1 SP3.
Can you please reply ASAP.

Thanks!

Hi Waqar,

Try this extension method:

public static void SetPublicationDate(this Content item, IContentLifecycleManager manager, DateTime publicationDate)

var liveItem = manager.GetLive(item);

liveItem.PublicationDate = publicationDate;

var masterItem = manager.GetMaster(item);

masterItem.PublicationDate = publicationDate;

And then after you call the Publish method of the content manager call

((Content)newsItem).SetPublicationDate(manager, publicationDate);
manager.SaveChanges();

Lubomir,
Could I get some more information on this solution?

The code you've provided; do we add this to the code-behind on the page the news widget in included?

Just how do I implement this?

Hello Kevin,

This code is used to manually update the Publication date. If you want a solution that allows you to modify it from the Backend then this is not going to work.
