How to Display the Last Modification Date in OSMap Sitemaps

Some OSMap users have reported seeing no entries in the "Last Modification Date" column. This happens for Joomla categories and articles.

This happens because those items have not been updated. You will get a date in that column after you have modified and saved your Joomla content item.

Take a look at the screenshot below:

This OSMap sitemap was created on a Joomla site with demo content. As you can see, the "Park Site" category has no date in the "Last Modification Date" column. Let's see how to fix this.

  • Open this category for editing, make a small change, and save it.
  • Go to your OSMap XML sitemap and check this category again. As you can see, the "Park Site" category now displays the last modification date.
