How can we get the actual createDate of a page in the publisher with the author's details?

We are currently required to show the window.digitalData.createDate as the date that the AEM page is created.

When I am running ${currentPage.createDate} from sightly, I get the creationDate from the publisher. which is the wrong date (this is the create date of when the node have been replicated).

 

What I really need is the createDate from the author.

Hi @supportmember ,

Have you tried this?

${pageProperties['jcr:created'].time.toString}

Note: Replicated page and checked on publisher - which will be of course replicated date and time on publisher which turn into jcr:created

To answer your question- there is no OOTB functionality which fetches details from author on publish instance, It has to be customized!

Hope that helps!

Santosh

    Hi,

    You should be using a dedicated field for capturing data layer data and do not rely on AEMs internal properties.

      Hi,

       

      OOTB the property jcr:created will contain the information when the first time the page was created on the publisher instance. So, definately it will be different from the jcr:created field present on the author environment.

       

      Steps you can follow for achieving your use case:

      1. Create a Replication Listener with the path restriction that it processes further if you are under the specific hierarchy, otherwise skip.
      Reference: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/experience-manager/kb/ReplicationListener.html

      2. Update a custom property "custom_property" at the page with the value that is present in the field "jcr:created"

      3. In your logic update the code to read the "custom_property", instead of "jcr:created".

       

      Thanks
