thank you
It's work fine

@Darwin - The new k2 table item has 36 columns. I havent tested it but i think we can assume that the entire record gets into the $this->item array and could be addressed with ->columname. Have you tested that>?

Having hella problems with this forum, first it tried to create my reply as a new topic, so I had to delete it, then it wouldn't let me post this because it was a 'duplicate post'. I don't know what forum module you guys are using, but it should probably die. :D Anyway, see my response below.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but yes it looks like the whole db record for the item (including columns like publish_up) are accessible from $this->item, which is where I came up with my suggestion for Tomek. I tested briefly in my J! 1.5.25 / K2 2.5.4 install, and it seemed to work fine.

To the best of my knowledge the forum is Kenuna. We are currently doing out best to kill the spammers, but they are sorta like fire ants:)

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

Such and important feature... I don't know why you can't choose it in the GUI... alas, it's only the 9th custom line in my template override...

Also... this thread can be found on google... but can't be searched out in the forum... IMO the display date should default to the Publish Date, not the create date... you're displaying when it found it's way to the web, who cares when it was "created"... SOOO important for loading batches of articles you want to drip publish but just as applicable to those who save articles as drafts, leave unpublished, and finish later...

Hi, is this doable using the 'Finish publishing' date?

I am trying to do an Events site and having the items display based on the day they actually happen (Finish publishing date) would be tops!!!

thanks
Bevan

Anyone know if it's doable? View by expiry date?

Try with this:

<?php echo JHTML::_('date', $this->item->publish_down, JText::_('K2_DATE_FORMAT_LC2')); ?>

Thanks... I will give a try.

Would this functionality be able to applied to the K2 Calendar Module? So it shows the date the item will close on the calendar, rather then the date it was added?

It is a little more complicated for the calendar. This will have to be added in the module's core file. If you want to make the modification yourself the file that includes the calendar functions is the helper.php file.
Make sure to take a backup of your file before any K2 update since the changes you make will be lost.

I'll take a look, but my skills at php are VERY limited...

Thanks a million!!!

You're welcome.
