Add support for optional updateDate #203

Open martinstabe opened 6 years ago

Standard FT stories display PublishDate unless the UpdateTimestamp flag is set to true.

Default starter kit behaviour is currently the reverse: displaying the latest build date unless a publication date is fixed.

This should be possible to fix by:

  1. Require existing publishedDate to be a static date (default could be the scaffolding date)

  2. adding two new fields to the config: An UpdateTimestamp Boolean and an optional date UpdateDate which defaults to the current time.

  3. adding a condition to views/includes/article-head.html that show "Updated" before the date and uses the UpdateDate if UpdateTimestamp is true.

Do you have an example showing how FT.com displays "updated" on updated articles? When we spoke about this about a year ago, I was told that since the site doesn't do this, we shouldn't either.
