How could i make scheduler make created date or updated date same as scheduled date? Currently if i have view that sorts nodes by created or updated date then they are all over the place when i publish them with scheduler. So i would synh this two automaticly so when i publish node on 31.1.2011 its also on top of view.

I found the "Alter published on time" so i guess this is what gives feature i asked above. So this puts date of node "authored on" to the scheduled date?

Yes, it does. If your node is scheduled for 11:30 pm tonight, the date that is displayed for the node (change date) will be 11/16/2011 - 11:30pm.

I looked it up to be sure. There are two dates for every node, 'created' and 'changed'. I don't know which you are referring to. However, if the "Alter published on time" option is activated scheduler sets the 'created' and the 'changed' date to the scheduled date. If the option is deactivated only the 'changed' date is set.

I ment the changed one, changed date is called updated in views filter (dont know why people dont stick to some standards) Thanx on info, that is all i needed to know.

I'm pretty sure I do something wrong. On my site the scheduled time does not affect the parameter "Authored on" (assume this is the created date).

Is it not supposed to do this when "Alter published on time" is checked?

Yes, it is supposed to change that date, but not right away. It changes it when the node is actually published.

Is it possible to change the module, so the node has the same date all the time? In our editorial work flow we sort nodes on "Authored on"-date.

You can set that date in the "Authoring information" section in the node form. We will not change the module to do that, because then nodes would have "Authored on" date in the future.
