Hi guys,

Do you know which which is the variable name for the publication date of an article? I would like to add it in the table of contents page.

Thank you.

You’ll have access to the full $article object per:

github.com

{foreach name=sections from=$publishedArticles item=section key=sectionId}
{if $section.title}<h4 class="tocSectionTitle">{$section.title|escape}</h4>{/if}


{foreach from=$section.articles item=article}
	{assign var=articlePath value=$article->getBestArticleId($currentJournal)}
	{assign var=articleId value=$article->getId()}


	{if $article->getLocalizedFileName() && $article->getLocalizedShowCoverPage() && !$article->getHideCoverPageToc($locale)}
		{assign var=showCoverPage value=true}
	{else}
		{assign var=showCoverPage value=false}
	{/if}


	{if $article->getLocalizedAbstract() == ""}

A PublishedArticle has a method getDatePublished():

github.com

pkp/ojs/blob/ojs-stable-2_4_8/classes/article/PublishedArticle.inc.php#L84


	 * @param $sectionId int
	 */
	function setSectionId($sectionId) {
		return $this->setData('sectionId', $sectionId);
	}


	/**
	 * Get date published.
	 * @return date
	 */
	function getDatePublished() {
		return $this->getData('datePublished');
	}


	/**
	 * Set date published.
	 * @param $datePublished date
	 */


	function setDatePublished($datePublished) {
		return $this->SetData('datePublished', $datePublished);

That will return a full datetime, so some formatting will be needed.
