Hi,

I include the publish date in articles of my news category, using Form2Content templating.

However, my client asks me to be able to hide the publish date in some articles : typically, when a news announces an event, there could be confusion between the publish date and the event date.

So my idea is to use the article options (publish date : default / hide / show) to be able to hide the publish date on a specific article.
However I consulted the list of available variables for templating, but found none related to the article options.

Is there something like a {$JOOMLA_PUBLISH_SHOW} variable I could use to conditionally show the publish date ?


Joomla version : 3.6.2
F2C Pro version : 6.14.0

Hi Jeremy,

It is not possible to use Joomla article parameters as Smarty variables .... interesting thought though.

Basically you need to add a relationship between a variable and showing the date yourself. It could be a simple checkbox with either show are hide the date in the article. If checked, display date..... and add the corresponding smarty code in F2C template.
{if $CHECKBOXNAME}{$JOOMLA_PUBLISH_SHOW}{/if}

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Patrick

Wow, what a quick answer ! ;-)

Thank you for your suggestion, that would do the trick indeed. Problem solved !

And let me know if in the future you include such parameters to use article options in templating.
Thanx,

Jérémie
