Date Stamp For Upload

[scottydog]

Hi

I want to add a "last updated" line to my product pages, I found a solution in the knowledgebase (http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=45431) and it has the following javascript to paste into the layout:


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!-Begin
var dateObj = new Date(document.lastModified)
document.write("Last Updated: " + dateObj.toLocaleString());
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

However when I insert it I get the error "opening and closing signs are not matching" and also a general syntax error. I dont have a clue on javascript and have tried playing but without success. Can anyone spot an obvious error so I can tweak it, as it appears there is an error with this script?

Thanks in advance

Try changing this:
<!-Begin
to this:
<!-- Begin

Doh! Knew it would be something simple, many thanks!

can you say when this date stamp is updated?
E.g. when a given product is accessed, or when it is actually modified.
Or is it updated whenever the website is refreshed/updated, whether the product has been modified or not?

The code displays the date that the HTML page it's on was last modified (or more accurately the date Actinic uploaded it after modification).

If using single product pages, such pages only get uploaded when something on them changes which would most likely be product details.

If used on a multi product page, the upload would take place when any of the products on it were amended.
