Is this a publishing rule issue?
|

After transferring all my old articles over to AM2, I started to experiment to try and learn all the changes.
I selected an old article from early in 2006 and made a few edits. After I saved the changes and the file republished, it appeared on the front page as though it was a new article created today.
Is this a publishing rule issue or am I just missing a setting?

Articles are sorted by the "date" field. Unless you changed the date field or they're sorted some other way it shouldn't change position.
You can check how articles are being sorted here:
Admin > Database Editor > (Select Article Table) > Default Sort Fields

I checked the sorting order and this is what it says:
Default Sort Order : -art_field20, -date
I have just edited another one with the same results....an article published in March 2005 appears on the main page just like a new article. I also do not have the 'Featured' article box checked.

That's strange. If you'd like to fill out the support request form I could login and have a look for you.

Hello,
I have this same problem.
When it did not sort properly
I changed Default Sort Order : -art_field20, -date
To -art_field20, -createdTime
and that did not properly sort by create time either
Tks

art_field20 is a "Featured Article" checkbox right?
If so, edit the field here:
Admin > Database Editor > Articles > art_field20
And changed stored as to "int". This will store it as a numeric value and have it sort correctly.
Let me know if that fixes it for you.

Thanks,
the problem is not with the "featured" showing first but the order of the articles after that.
I wanted to have them sorted by creation date, but I think they sort by modified date.
I planned to put in a ticket regarding this. Thanks again.

dslweb, try the 'int' anyway. It solved the problem in my case.
