Dear all,

I intend to change the date an object was created. How would I do that, please?

Background info: I'm importing content from another site. Thanks to examples, I'm already able to change attributes in the data_map.

By the way, is there any info available on how to be using the information located at http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/trunk/html/index.html ? Being fairly new to developing extensions using the API, I find that information quite confusing and overwhelming. Any help or step-by-step examples would greatly help me in becoming able to find my way around the API.

Best wishes,
Rainer

Hi.
Have you tried

$object->setAttribute('published', [timestamp here]);

hope it helps.
