Mini Front Page / Date and Images

  • Posted by Wesley Derbyshire (5) Offline
I am using the latest version of Mini Front Page. I have turned off the display of images, author, dates, etc. I configured the main section to show an article with the title and a portion of the description. I also configured the more section to show the title only.
Here is the problem. The dates are displaying on the more section, yet I selected that they are hidden. I do not want to show the dates.
Furthermore, I have selected the creation date for sorting. Yet, the articles in the more section are still sorted by the publishing date.
Please advised on how to correct these issues.

Hi, can you tell me what theme you are using and can you give a screenshot of your module settings so I can try to replicate it?

The dates are displaying on the more section, yet I selected that they are hidden. I do not want to show the dates.

There is no setting to hide the date, how did you hide it?

Furthermore, I have selected the creation date for sorting. Yet, the articles in the more section are still sorted by the publishing date.

I have re-checked the module and there's nothing wrong with it. The ordering by created date should be work properly. Can you share your website url?

The website is - www.peacecoalition.org/
You'll notice as also provided in the screenshot two things.

1) The top Main part doesn't display the date, which is as it should be, as I have turned off the display for date in the module. However, the dates still show in the bottomw More section. Naturally, I don't want this if i have selected to Hide the dates. Of course, I also think this be a unique set of options for the Main and More sections... but let's get this right first!

2) I am crrecting my above and restating, I selected to sort by Most Recent Publishing Date First. However, if I wanted to show the dates, it shows the Creation date, making it appear out of order to the reader. Thus, if the admin selects the Publishing Date, that is what should display, not the Creation Date. The sort is most likely correct for the Publishing Date, it is only the issue of displaying the incorrect date (Creation vs Publishing).

Add this code to the CSS Adjustment tab in the module settings page :
.mfp_default_skin_default .mfp_date {display:none!important;}

Ah ok. I will add this as a TODO in our next update.

Two other things.

1) Is there a way to wrap the More section list of titles into an unordered list?

2) I wish the number of days for the Timerange field wa sa free form entry instead a short list of pre specified periods. As an example we have always 365 days (1 year). I am sure other admins could use a more granular entry for this option.
