[Moin-user] Can one set the creation and modify dates of an article?

[Gnarlodious]

Persistent cuss, ain't you?

Here is what to do:

1) Learn programming. Open the Terminal application

2) Type "python" (minus the quotes) and press return key

3) Select&drag&drop or, copy&paste these commands into Terminal:
import time
timeString='2010-02-10 04:40:30'
int(time.mktime(time.strptime(timeString,'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')))

the resulting number will be the UNIX timestamp for the timeString
variable, in this case 1265802030

4) Open your FTP app and navigate to your server's dynamic pages folder.

5) Open the relevant edit-log file and where it says:

1264823835000000	00000002	SAVE	Computer(2f)Shell(2f)ExifTool

paste the Unix number into the first field overwriting the long number

6) Save that file and load the page to see if it works
