Hello @creazo ,

It should show the date when you registered a new version, so the date of the latest version of the Download. Modifying the file using FTP or cPanel for example won’t change the date.

Could you describe your usage scenario, how and what you are modifying so we can better understand?

Warmly,

Thank you for your reply.
I make booklets for my students that I modify as they progress. When I update a download, I will directly delete the PDF to replace it with the correct pdf (the one that is corrected and/or modified).
From my point of view I therefore need to retrieve the last modification date of the upload (modification date of wp-admin/post.php?post=14178& for example) so that my students can see when the document has been modified to upload it again.
I hope I was clear in my writing.

Regards

Hello @creazo ,

That seems to be the whole point of the version, to give the final users ( the students in your case ) a new version of the file. I’m curios why you are not using the Versions functionality, adding a new one and uploading the PDF in the new Version? On the front it will display the latest Version creation/update ( which you want ) and the students will download the greatest and latest file.

Hello,

I took a few days to think about our exchange and indeed the shortcode [download_data id=”10″ data=”file_date “] meets my need to return the last date the file was added (here my second version).
By habit, I deleted the old file and I added a new one in version 1, which does not answer the logic of the extension when one wants to modify the file.
My need was more on the date of modification of the post (example: [download_data id=”10” data=”modified_date_post “]) than on the date of the last version of the file. But our exchange makes me change my practice to meet my need, thank you very much.
I remain at your disposal if necessary.

Glad it’s all OK in the end ??

Have a wonderful day!
Razvan
