@bembelimen Is this something for 4.1?

We would need a parameter to select date type, so old RSS feeds do not have suddenly a new date. If someone makes a PR that way, why not.

So it needs a PR for the 4.1-dev branch with a new parameter to select if created date or published date to be shown.

@bembelimen Would a global option for com_newsfeed be enough? Or does it also need that per newsfeed and possibly also for the menu item? I think it could be necessary to have it per newsfeed, too, so old feeds can stay like they are and newly created newsfeeds can use the published date.

@AndNovAtor Do you want to make it? I'd understand if you say no because your last attempts were closed, but I'm optimistic that this time it could go well.

@richard67 , as it could be global parameter, it WILL be aslo parameter for every menuitem (as override).

As @bembelimen mentonied, yes, this parameter should be by default as "old" behavior (creating date).

About creating PR... Well, I have some problems, as code was changed, so I still searching for right file/line. (Also I have not so much free time for PR).

Also, is it realy should be com_newsfeed parameter? Not com_content? I don't remember, what is used, when open any category page WITHOUT menu item with url ended with ?format=feed&type=rss

Anyway, "for the sake of sporting interest", maybe, I'll try

@brianteeman, as you made PR [maded to RC] for my veeeery old feuture request, maybe you know possible volunteers for this old request? I still didn't "dig" in "new" version of rss feed code (in 4.x Joomla). [Who knows, maybe I'll try in few weeks to "dig" code for creation of global/per component parameter for this request.....]

My coment is simple "bump" sorry everyone.

its not that simple. In some places the publish_up date is used. In others created_date

Now even 4.2 is released (and my original issue since minimum 3.8), and still is not implemented...
(Again, as optional feature, not default)

its not that simple
Still don't understand why, but anyway, yes, my issue is low priority

its not that simple. In some places the publish_up date is used. In others created_date

Maybe I'm simpleminded: but wouldn't this be something like

If (publish_up not empty)
   [Publish_up code]
Else 
    [created_date code]
