Displays the date and / or time when the page was last modified.

Parameters#

• format=format string : How the date and time should be formatted. If you omit this, a default format will be used.

The format parameter is implemented exactly the same as in the Current Time Plugin, so check out that page for more details on how to use format.

Installation#

There is a couple ways to install the plugin:

• Get the source file, put it in the source directory with the rest of the plugins (src/com/ecyrd/jspwiki/plugin) and recompile your Wiki. OR:
• Get the attached JAR file, and put it in the library folder on the server where the wiki is installed. (WEB-INF/lib) After the JAR is in the libraries folder, you might need to reload the JSPWiki webapp through the Tomcat manager (or restart Tomcat if you want to brute-force it :)), and it will auto-magically work.

Usage#
