NOTE: Updated for WebGUI 5.2.x support, 3/30/03 -- Ed

NAME

LastModified - Display last modified date of a page's wobjects

SYNOPSIS

^LastModified;
^LastModified(LABEL);
^LastModified(LABEL, DATEFORMAT);

DESCRIPTION

The LastModified macro outputs the most recent edit date for the wobjects of a page.  If a page has no wobjects, no output will be produced.  In addition, certain wobjects (e.g., USS) will result in a last modified date reflecting the last time the wobject definition was edited and not the last date content was submitted.

Called with no parameters, LastModified outputs the date in the user's preferred date format set in their WebGUI profile (i.e., %z).  LastModified may also be called with a single parameter which is a text string prefix for the date (see LABEL under OPTIONS).  Finally, LastModified may be called with both the LABEL parameter and also a date format string (see DATEFORMAT under OPTIONS).

OPTIONS

LABEL  -  an optional text string which precedes the date value.  This parameter is not outputted in cases where there is no date.

DATEFORMAT  -  an optional date format string.  This parameter uses the same syntax as the Date macro (^D;).  You must provide the LABEL parameter if you wish to provide the DATEFORMAT parameter.

EXAMPLES

^LastModified;  ==>  2/6/2003

^LastModified("Updated: ");  ==>  Updated: 2/6/2003

^LastModified("Last Modified: ","%c %D, %y");  ==>  Last Modified: February 6, 2003

INSTALLATION

Place LastModified.pm in your <webguiroot>/lib/WebGUI/Macro directory, add "LastModified => LastModified, \" to the macro section of the <webguiroot>/etc/WebGUI.conf file, and restart your webserver.
