updatedDate for News Items

Hi Dave,
I noticed for the date field that the client actually has to manually select the date and time (instead of it being generated automatically - just like a blog).
Can this be replaced with the "updatedDate" or "createdDate" function ? Do these fields need to be added into the Section Editors as a field, or are they just automatically generated ?
Cheers Dude !

Yes, if you're running v1.10 there's some new "special fields" that you can add (actually they should be automatically added when you upgrade) that do that.
You can use them just like a regular date field and they're called 'createdDate' and 'updatedDate'. Here's some sample code using the PHP date() function to format the date:
Created: <?php echo date("D, M jS, Y g:i:s a", strtotime($record['createdDate'])) ?><br/>
Updated: <?php echo date("D, M jS, Y g:i:s a", strtotime($record['updatedDate'])) ?><br/>
You can find the date formatting codes here:
http://www.php.net/date
And more info on special fields here:

Give it a try and let me know how it goes! :)
Hope that helps!
