Making full use of Quarto and sprucing up an oft-visited 404 page

Carl ... I am trying to add a "modified date" to my blog as you have on some of your posts. I have searched through your repo and can't seem to figure out how you did it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Derek - Because I wanted the modified date in all projects and none of the blog posts, I placed date-modified: last-modified in the _metadata.yml file within the project directory. (It could have gone in the YAML at the top of each qmd if I'd only wanted it in some projects but not others.)

Then to additionally show this in the grid listing for projects, I added file-modified to fields: per below in the index.qmd (project folder):

listing:
  contents: .
  fields: [image, date, title, reading-time, description, file-modified]

OK. I get the modified date (as a date AND time right now ... I need to figure that out) in my listing but I don't get a modified date on my post. For example, your posts in your projects show an author, published date, and modified date underneath the title. Mine only show an author and published date.

I won't go back-and-forth with you on this (I appreciate your help already!) but wondering if you have an idea about this.

Thanks!

I used a date format in the project folder's index.qmd to suppress the time.

And I didn't want to see the date-modified for the listing itself, just the individual grid cards, so included the second line. Not sure why you're not seeing the modified date in each post if it's directly in the post's YAML or in the _quarto.yml or _metadata.yml and assuming the posts have been re-rendered.

date-format: medium
date-modified: ""

Thank you. I must be missing something somewhere. I appreciate your help!!

Just in case somebody else stumbles across my question ... I needed to update Quarto to solve the issue (I was using what came with my RStuduio, which was <1.2). Sorry for the clutter, though your explanation ultimately did help. Thanks.
