Ghost: Post Modified Date Not Updated

[mskian]

After updating to 1.21.6 Last Updated Post date Helper not working

{{date updated_at format='YYYY-MM-DD'}}
{{date updated_at format="DD MMMM YYYY"}}

Example:

I publish the Post on 08 Jun 2017, next update the post on 08 September 2017 It will display the Updated post date (08 September 2017)
Again I update the post on 21 March 2018 But it has shown the 08 September 2017 Date only
Now I revert back to Normal date format helper :( {{date format="D MMMM YYYY"}}

PS: Same issue on Schema Markup & Meta Article Modified Tag

Technical details:

• Ghost Version:1.21.6

Hey @mskian,

I am not able to reproduce your issue.

When I change the date helper in my post.hbs to this:

{{date updated_at format="D MMMM YYYY hh:mm:ss"}} (_I displayed the time as well for testing purposes_)

I can't see any issue. I took an older post, updated it -> worked fine. Then updated it again after a while, and it still worked fine.

Also the meta data gets updated correctly for me.

Can you please check again and let me know, if I missed steps to reproduce it?

Hey @AileenCGN

Leave Helper Step

• Check it from Casper theme
• Open any one of your Old posts Made any changes and Update it
• Open the post "View Source" & Check Schema Markup Modified Date & Meta article Modified date article:modified_time please

PS: I try from my side same issue

PPS: Sorry Issue is Post Modified Date Not Updated

I don't know what exactly happened, but I can totally reproduce it now. It appears to happen to all updated_at fields (posts, user, tags).

I am not 100% sure, but might it be, that there's an issue with bookshelf's 'hasTimeStamps' method, which we're using to update updated_at and created_at. @kirrg001 can you have a look and see, if you can reproduce it?

Post Modified Date Not Updated on Schema Markup & MetaProperty article:modified_time

Post Modified Date Not Updated on Schema Markup & MetaProperty article:modified_time

This is only a side effect of what I described. The date in schema.org and open graph data is based on the updated_at field.

I can also reproduce. Might be that the last Bookshelf release has caused it, because this property get's set automatically on update (this does not happen in Ghost). This looks critical.

[kirrg001]

Probably caused by https://github.com/bookshelf/bookshelf/pull/1583.
There is already a fix in Bookshelf's master, i've asked when the patch goes out.

[kirrg001]

Bookshelf just released 0.13.3, which fixes this issue. Patch release will happen today.

@mskian Thanks for reporting and sorry for trouble!

@kirrg001 welcome :-)
