Personal Website upload version

Post by Wolksby »

Hi,

I'm just wondering whether WYSIWYG has an automatic function that would let me do the following:

Suppose I upload the latest version of my own website. Is there a means that somewhere it could automatically show 'Present version 12/01/21' or words to this effect, somewhere on my site? Then when I look occasionally at my website, I can see that my last update was 12/01/21, and, given that there isn't anything to update, I'd just leave it as it is. On the other hand, I might later look at the date, and think, oh yes, I've got three more CD reviews to include, because i had written them in the meantime?

Would this be something for Javascript, or is there already something in Version 15 that will do the job?

Not vital, but just curious to know.

Many thanks!

Why not just add a text box in the footer that says "Last updated 1/12/2021". Each time you update the site just change this date.

I put mine in the footer and use a user defined variable for the date.

There is a java script called "Last Modified".
Use Insert > Miscellaneous > Ready-to-use Java Scripts.
If your page uses php then the above won't work.
If the page does use php you can use the extension PHP Webpage Last Updated.

Many thanks for the helpful suggestions!

On this occasion I'm taking the simplest option, of manually changing the date, whenever I update the site which, to be fair, isn't too frequent, now that things have gotten sorted.

I did try the Javascript ready-made versions, but found that, natively it showed the date in US format. No doubt there would have been an opportunity to change this to our UK format, but I am happy with my solution! Thanks!
