    Hello,

    as our users should update their posts regularly, and we would like to make them aware of this fact, it would be nice to show the date of last update instead of the date of creation in the overview of articles in their frontend dashboard.

    Any idea?

    Regards,
    Torsten

    Hi Torsten,

    The date column in the frontend dashboard use the function the_time() to show the created time. You can use this filter hook to show the modified time. For example:

    add_filter( 'the_time', function( $time, $format ) {
    $time = get_the_modified_time( $format );
    return $time;
}, 10, 2 );

    Hi Ole,

    You can replace your date format with the variable $format in the code above

    $time = get_the_modified_time( 'M j, Y' );

    Hi Long, could you please explain how to use a custom field (date picker) to show in the date column ?
    Also, do you intend on adding more columns/actions to the frontend dashboard one day ? It would be great for example to be able to reorder the posts with a simple drag and drop... that would make MB dashboard a really cool tool !

    Hi AnLip,

    Currently, we do not have intended to add more columns to the frontend dashboard. Just keep it simple and minimalist on the frontend. If you have basic knowledge about code, you can follow this topic to create a new custom dashboard and override its layout.
