Nice little helper

Functionality

This free (thank you developers!) module does exactly what it's supposed to.
The output syntax can be adjusted to your individual needs.

Ease of use

As easy as it can be. You just should know a littlebit about CSS to style the output your way.

I used this to: Frontpage display of last modification time (it was a customer request). Formerly i used a custom module that i had to update manually.

Simple & easy

Functionality

A useful extension, though the content is in an HTML list for some reason. Also, you can't leave the end punctuation empty.

Ease of use

Simple, though I had to bang the display into shape by neutralizing the HTML list's padding and bullet.

I used this to: Showing last updated date on a product catalog site.

Flawless

Thats all, it does what it says. Easy to install, easy to publish, easy to customize. A must have for a site that is frequently updated.

Flawless module!

This is one of those modules that is 100% kosher.

It does what it claims to do, installation is straighforward, administration is a delight. No skills needed. Fit for the royal family!

Here's a tip for newbies like myself.

If you for example want to have two lines like this:

"This site was updated:

05 augusti 2010, 15:14"

The input would be:

This site was updated:

Cheers

Excellent & straightforward

Excellent, straightforward module that does precisely what's intended to do. Easy installation too.

SUPER SIMPLE - does what it says on the tin!

Well, this is awesome - it does exactly what I was looking for, and is very configurable using the date formats I found here (just omit the ' and ' at start and end):

http://www.dan.co.uk/mysql-date-format/

Shame you cannot remove completely the text before the date - seeing as any module can display the title it would be nice to have the option to *only* show the date in the module, and use the title to describe that this is the last modified date.

Thanks though for a great, and useful module.

Owner's reply: Version 2, for Joomla 1.5 native, has just been released. In that version you can completely remove the text before & after the date.
