Can I edit the date of a topic?
-
Just used the RSS plugin to pull in some topics but I want to backdate them to the actual dates of the RSS entries.
Am I completely missing something or are dates not changeable?
@johnhenry Dates in your database are the dates that the post is created on your forum.

@a_5mith Thanks. I realize that but is there no way of changing the date of topics in the forum?
-
@johnhenry Technically yes, but I'd have to leave it up to someone like @baris to say if you should. As I'm not 100% what repurcussions it might have.

Right now there is no way to change the date of a topic through the forum itself, which means you would have to do the changes in the database.
Alternatively I can modify the rss plugin so it sets the date of the topics to the actual date from the rss entry instead of using the current timestamp.

Give https://github.com/barisusakli/nodebb-plugin-rss/commit/077c60ef16ddb89ecc42204b00a6af7b9cf2b821 a try, added tags and an option to select timestamp.

Just in case someone will search for fast solution: if you are using redis-server as DB you can change timestamps with redis-commander:
npm install -g redis-commander redis-commander
