We want to display the “Date Published” (or document date metadata) for each PDF item listed in the archive view of SDBIP documents. Currently, this metadata exists on individual document pages but is not shown in the archive listing. The goal is to have this date directly in the listing for better usability and transparency.
We are working based on Toolset’s standard archive/listing functionality for custom post types and fields. Specifically, we are trying to expose existing post metadata (publish date or custom field) within the archive template.
Is there a similar example that we can see? Yes — individual document pages already display a “Published” date :
shows on the hidden link
Please note that we can help you with issues (bugs, compatibility) or any thing that is not working with Toolset as expected but we can not build and do such customizations that you will have to do on your own.
