What file I have to change to edit the created date of an article from the front end? Using joomla 3.8.1.
2 Answers
Unfortunately, Joomla 3.x does not seem to allow the creation date to be modified from the front-end of the website.
The only third party extension I can find that enables this feature is EasyArticles which is a paid extension from StackIdeas. (You can verify this feature exists on their demo site).
There are probably other extensions that can do this and the Content Submission category in the JED might be a good place to start looking: https://extensions.joomla.org/category/authoring-a-content/content-submission

In Joomla 3.8.3, it's possible to modify com_content > form > edit ( with override )
add in line 120 : <?php echo $this->form->renderField('created'); ?>
It works !

Adding that line works great. Even in Joomla 4. Can you help to have a field label above the create date field in the front-end editting? Now there is only a date field for the create date there.– WouterNov 9, 2022 at 19:20
