V7 behavior with Last-Modified meta earlier than 1/1/1970

[jcfigueroa]

Hello!
We have a website with dynamic pages. We show to the users legal documents from several years, since 1930 to the present. I want to know if the new version of the ZSE version 7 supports Last-Modified meta field with dates earlier that 1/1/1970

Thank you!

Hi JC. Zoom V7 behaves the same way V6 did in regards to the storage of date and time. It uses what is commonly known as "Unix time" which stores time as the number of seconds that have elapsed since 1/Jan/1970. This is very common in software because file time stamps reflect file creation time, and the modern computer and its file system really has only existed since the 70s. So unfortunately, there is still not a way to support earlier time stamps.

Having said that, you could use Custom Meta Fields to specify alternative date fields. Here's a thread from another user doing this:
