[Feature Request] Last Modified Date in post meta

[kazettique]

Does we have any plan to add last modified date beside the create date in post meta?
As I know Hugo provides .Lastmod parameter from Git info variables
It would be great to show the latest modified date on the post.

Thanks & cheers.

hi, I figure how to add last modified out, here is my solution.

1. config config.yml with:

    enableGitInfo: true

    frontmatter:
        lastmod:
        - lastmod
        - :git
        - date
        - publishDate

2. add this to layouts/partials/post_meta.html

    {{- if not .Lastmod.IsZero -}}
    {{- $scratch.Add "meta" (slice (printf "<span title='%s'>updated %s</span>" (.Lastmod) (.Lastmod | time.Format (default "January 2, 2006" site.Params.DateFormat)))) }}
    {{- end }}

3. Then it is done. I hope it's working for you.

@miawithcode Thanks for you kindly suggestion.
In fact, after did some research, I had already added last modified date in post_meta.html.
But before that, I had to copy the whole theme folder then modified it, which meant it would lost git control from original repo (aka. HERE) forever.
I think some people might want the feature. (And for me of course)
That's why I asked it here.

PS. I've read the post you sharing about it, which is nice.

Ps: Thanks for noticing the blog.XD

@kazettique Also keen to see a last modified date added, thanks for flagging! Same as you, I'm not about to unlink from original on github.
