New page

You need two files: /modules/mod_latesnews/helper.php and /modules/mod_latesnews/tmpl/default.php

In the helper.php, add the

<source lang="php">
$lists[$i]->creationdate = JHTML::_('date', $row->created, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC4');
</source>

line to the bottom, so:

<source lang="php">
foreach ( $rows as $row )
{
$lists[$i]->link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($row->slug, $row->catslug, $row->sectionid));
$lists[$i]->text = htmlspecialchars( $row->title );
$lists[$i]->creationdate = JHTML::_('date', $row->created, JText::_('DATE_FORMAT_LC4');
$i++;
}
</source>

Now when the dates are collected with the mysql query, you need to add them to the default.php. Change this code

<source lang="php">
<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" class="latestnews<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>">
<?php echo $item->text .'<br />'.$item->creationdate; ?></a>
</source>

to

<source lang="php">
<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" class="latestnews<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>">
<?php echo $item->text; ?></a>
</source>
