Question: how to set the post creation dates visible?

[padaszewski]

Hi, In Your example You have visible dates on the posts

In my case these dates does not appear:

I have the same config as in the example site. Is there a specific param to set in order to get this work?

[LukasJoswiak]

You need to set the date param in the front matter for the post.

[padaszewski]

Sure, I've done that. I even copied the front matter from the example and got the same result:

+++
author = "Hugo Authors"
title = "Test"
date = 2019-03-05
description = "Guide to emoji usage in Hugo"
tags = [
"emoji",
]
+++

Before that I had a simple json with title, date and draft

[LukasJoswiak]

What version of Hugo are you running?

$ hugo version
hugo v0.104.3+extended darwin/amd64 BuildDate=unknown

[LukasJoswiak]

There shouldn't be any specific parameter to enable to display the dates, they should just show by default.

[LukasJoswiak]

If you click through to the page for the post, does it show the date under the title, like it does at https://lukasjoswiak.github.io/etch/markdown-syntax-guide/?

@padaszewski

Here's my codes I am using.

Environment

Content

Set data and lastmod on each post.

---
title: "도커 파일시스템 정리"
date: 2022-03-16T13:07:20+09:00
lastmod: 2022-08-31T10:03:10+09:00
slug: ""
description: "쿠버네티스 워커 노드가 파일시스템 사용률이 높을 때, docker system prune 명령어를 실행해서 Docker 오브젝트를 정리하여 파일시스템 공간을 확보할 수 있다."
keywords: []
tags: ["os", "linux", "docker"]
---

... then contents from now on ...

Config

baseURL                = "https://younsl.github.io"
title                  = "younsl"
theme                  = "etch"
languageCode           = "en-US"
enableInlineShortcodes = true
pygmentsCodeFences     = true
pygmentsUseClasses     = true
disableKinds           = ["taxonomy", "term"]

[params]
  description = "younsl"
  copyright   = ""
  dark        = "on"
  highlight   = true

[article]
  showComments      = true
  showAdvertisement = true

[menu]
  [[menu.main]]
    identifier = "wiki"
    name       = "wiki"
    title      = "wiki"
    url        = "/wiki/"
    weight     = 10

[permalinks]
  posts = "/:title/"

[markup.goldmark.renderer]
  # Allow HTML in Markdown
  unsafe = true

  [markup.tableOfContents]
    ordered = true

 

Output

Here's what the webpage looks like in the Chrome browser.

 

• In my case, date and lastmod frontmatter are output normally without any specific config.toml settings.
• You need to set date and lastmod value in the post frontmatter.

Hi @LukasJoswiak, Hi @younsl Thanks for the info. Unfortunately the approach with lastmod is also not working correctly.

@LukasJoswiak hugo version output: hugo v0.110.0-e32a493b7826d02763c3b79623952e625402b168+extended windows/amd64 BuildDate=2023-01-17T12:16:09Z VendorInfo=gohugoio On my blog You also can't see the date under the post :/

[padaszewski]

@younsl I literally copy pasted Your config and the frontmatter and couldnt see the date anyway.

[LukasJoswiak]

Can you try building the example site in this repo and see if the issue reproduces?

I thought it could be an issue with your Hugo version, but I built Hugo v110.0

hugo % ./hugo version
hugo v0.110.0-e32a493b7826d02763c3b79623952e625402b168 darwin/amd64 BuildDate=2023-01-17T12:16:09Z

and then built the example site in this repo with it and I see all the dates correctly. I think it's likely there is some issue with your local site configuration.
