Does anyone have a suggestion on how to add an article updated timestamp on Promoted Article items listed on the homepage of the default template?

Hey Stefano -

You would need to apply some custom code to your theme in order to accomplish this. I've pinged some of our customization experts to see if they could advise you on this.

Hey Stefano,

When you go to 'Customize design' and click the 'Edit code' button of your theme. Look for the file: 'home_page.hbs'

Starting at line 39 you'll find something like this:

    {{#if promoted_articles}}
<section class="articles">
<h3>{{t 'promoted_articles'}}</h3>
<ul class="article-list promoted-articles">
{{#each promoted_articles}}
<li class="promoted-articles-item">
<a href="{{url}}">
{{title}}
</a>
</li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
</section>
{{/if}}

Now you can edit the line with {{title}} to something like this:

{{title}} - <i>{{date edited_at}}</i>

To get this result:

You can also use something like {{date edited_at timeago=true}} so it will display '10 minutes ago' and you probably want to make it look better. Maybe on a new line and with a smaller font or so.

Hey Sebasttian! Exactly what I'm looking for! I give it a shot and get if I have any problems but it looks pretty straight-forward.

Thanks again!

You're welcome, and don't worry!

If you want to know more about the date helper and formatting etc, you can have a look at the documentation:

hello there,

I would like to change the notation of the home_page.hbs timestamp.

I tried to describe it using [date helper] as a reference, but it didn't show up as I expected.

{{#if promoted_articles}}
<section class="articles">
<h2>{{t 'promoted_articles'}}</h2>
<ul class="article-list promoted-articles">
{{#each promoted_articles}}
<li class="promoted-articles-item">
<a href="{{url}}">
{{title}} - <i>{{date article.created_at class='metadata' format='short'}}
</i>
