I am looking for an extension that lets me modify the creation date of a  
page. Or another simple extension that ads a modify input to the page  
layout  
and accesses the database entries, that i can easily figure out and  
modify  
for my purpose.

Thanks Johan.

Johan,

Sean had suggested the solution for that when I had asked.

This might help you get started:  
[http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2007-November/006929.html](http://lists.radiantcms.org/pipermail/radiant/2007-November/006929.html)

Notes:  
[1] The code there will should go in the activate method of an  
extension.

[2] And then: It will fail cos there is an error in the code on that  
page. Sean debugged that it was failing because there’s no :args  
parameter in the hash. Change this line to:  
@meta \<\< {:field =\> “published\_at”, :type =\> “datetime\_select”, :args =\>  
[]}

See if that works. Sorry this mail is a bit haphazard. It’s collected  
from the mailing list and email that Sean sent me directly (didn’t end  
up on the list) and I’ve copied and pasted the sequence.

Cheers,  
Mohit.

This guy here has an extension that adds an area to each page allowing  
it’s date to be modified. I’m not sure why it’s not listed (atleast I  
don’t think it) on the Radiant website, but I’ve been using it and it  
works great.
