Cant get article created date - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hello.

i'm trying article's created timestamp or date can format css. i've searched on google , on forum but, i'm confused on result.

i've done this:

code: select all

echo $this->article->created;
echo $this->item->created;


and giving me blank result.

what doing wrong?

thanks in advanced time.

you should examine default.php file in:
public_html/components/com_content/views/article/tmpl
to see how standard joomla elements setup.

look line:

code: select all

<?php echo jtext::sprintf('com_content_created_date_on', jhtml::_('date', $this->item->created, jtext::_('date_format_lc2'))); ?>

everything around line should helpful.
