Hi Chris,
Like Bernd says, you probably want to avoid using "published" or "last-modified". ("Published" will never renew, and "last-modified" will renew too often - even after fixing typos).
For added control over the timestamp, *without* using an extra field/property, consider using the "date released" attribute. (Should be safe as long as you're not using it for any other customization.) We have chosen this approach, and it seems to work OK so far. Additionally, an unexpected benefit is that it allows us to do bulk updates on the timestamp (by updating it on a parent folder).
Here's a code suggestion:
CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request, response);
CmsObject cmso = cms.getCmsObject();
String resourceUri = cms.getRequestContext().getUri();
Date dr = null;
String drStr = null;
try {
long drLong = cmso.readResource(resourceUri).getDateReleased();
dr = drLong > 0 ? new Date(drLong) : null;
drStr = new SimpleDateFormat("d MMM yyyy", locale).format(dr);
} catch (Exception e) {
// No "date released" attribute set
}
if (drStr != null) {
// Print the timestamp
}
HTH.
Cheers,
Paul

Hi Chris,
you can find a lot of help in the pdf ship with OpenCms since version 8.
Find attached a screenshot with some useful resource related functions.

Betreff: Re: [opencms-dev] injecting Publish Date/Timestamp into page
Hi Bernd,
nice idea. Do you happen to know which element to access to obtain the GetDateLastModified().
It looks like it's in CmsCntPageData.
Post by ] Code Create [Hi Chris,
why don't you simply use "getDateLastModified".
Because, if it is not published it doesn't matter.
If it is published the date last modified should be fine if there is
not a too great time span in between. If there is you could just
refresh the resource prior to publishing it.
Me, I use an extra schema field/property to set a real publication
date (date issued).
Because I don't want to have this "issued date" changed, just because
I republish a resource for technical reasons, like orthography errors,
or if you have to republish the whole site for some other reason ...
all publish dates would be the same ...; i assume, that's not what you want.
For the same reason I have an extra field/property for the last edit
date too :D
All the best, Bernd
I'm seeking for a means to insert the date/time a page was published
last time so that one can read e.g. at the bottom of a page something
like "last edit Aug, 7th, 2014".
I found some suggestion in a stackoverflow thread
|public static Date getLastPublishedDate(CmsJspActionElement cms,
|CmsResource resource) throws Exception {
CmsObject cmso = cms.getCmsObject();
String sitePath = cmso.getSitePath(resource);
if (cmso.readAllAvailableVersions(sitePath).size() > 0) {
I_CmsHistoryResource histRes = cmso.readAllAvailableVersions(sitePath).get(0);
int publishTag = histRes.getPublishTag();
CmsHistoryProject project = cmso.readHistoryProject(publishTag);
return new Date(project.getPublishingDate());
} else {
return null;
}
}
I'm wondering whether it could be accomplished in another way.
