Hi Peter, The modified date on files shows the date uploaded to DMX4. This appears to be consistent whether the web interface or WebDAV is used. Is there a way to show the original date modified on the file? It is important because the content of the file is not modified by adding it to the repository. Users need to be able to see when the document content was actually modified. Also, synchronizing documents from a local store to the DMX4 repository cannot work if the date modified on DMX4 never matches the date modified of the original file. Thanx, Lance Prager

More info... Importing files works just fine. It preserves the original Date Modified from the file and shows the uploaded date correctly. So, the problem occurs only when uploading with WebDAV and through the web interface.

Hi Lance, This is necessarily so. The simple fact is that that date is not transfered with a file. A web upload just transfers the file, not it's date. The latter is encrusted on your hard disk. The reason import works with the date is that it can actually examine the hard disk. The other methods can't. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
