$page->created()

The CMS Questions

Hello,

How do you know when the page was created? I found in the docs only when the page was edited for the last time?

greetings

I’d use a creation date field for this; otherwise you would have to make sure that your file system creation date is preserved over time (e.g. when stuff is moved between servers), also, there doesn’t seem to be a file creation time on most Unix systems…so only the modified time gets stored.

When creating a new topic, please choose the question category that corresponds to your Kirby version. It helps everyone to immediatly see what Kirby version you are using. The „General" category is not intended for questions, if you need help, use the „Questions :thinking:“ category.

you mean something like that:

 created:
    label: created
    type: date
    width: 1/2
    default: ????
    time: true
    disabled: true

what is the right word to save the date when the page is created ?
and if is possible to hidde the field ?

sorry :see_no_evil: but i’am don’t unterstand in the docs which words I can use there
“default mixed” – “Default date when a new Page/File/User gets created”

There used to be a todaykeyword, but I think I’ve seen an issue somewhere.

If you want a hidden field, use a hook.

  created:
    label: created
    type: date
    time: now
    width: 1/2
    default: today
    disabled: true

https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/panel/fields/date
option -> time

what does “… an array of time field” mean ? I would set the current time

Set the default to now and time to true:

created:
  label: created
  type: date
  time: true
  default: now
  disabled: true

thank you @texnixe for helping.

@texnixe Quick question about this old answer of yours: This works for me, but it does not set the field to local time, but to GMT instead. Any way that I can always set this to local time? Thanks!

Have you set the timezone? See
