Hi

I want to crete a property that works as the built in modify updated date checkbox i.e saving a DateTime value but rendering a dojo checkbox with all the fancy stuff.

Is there an easy way to do this in 7.5?

Thanks,
Christian

The easiest way to accomplish this is to add a datetime and boolean property to your content model.

[Editable(false)]
public virtual DateTime MyDate {get; set;}

public virtual bool SetMyDate {get; set;}

Then implement event handlers using IContentEvent (or DataFactory) for PublishingContent (or possibly SavingContent) that set the value of MyDate to DateTime.Now if SetMyDate is true and then clears SetMyDate.

The Editable attribute should make you property visible in edit mode but read only.
