Issue Summary
Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to make the "published on" time for a moderated node be the time when it has been approved by a moderator and not the time when the node was submitted by its author.
I have been looking for an answer in Modr8 issues but could not find it (sorry if there already was an answer and I missed it).
Thank you in advance !

This module doesn't do that, though it would be easy to write a short module that does do it by responding to the modr8 hook.

+1, makes sense that the 'published on' time actually display the time the node became available. Thanks! :-)

depends very much on your use case. Feel free to submit a patch to toggle this behavior.
#4
Found a use case where this behavior becomes a real problem: say you use the Sunmailer newsletter module or other module which publish content based on a cutoff date. Since modr8 keeps the submission date instead of the published date for the node, then nodes submitted on day x and approved on day x+1 will never show up in the newsletter.

Wondering whether there is any movement on anyone supplying a patch for this?
Same for scheduling that I have in place, I'd like content approval date to be set for the publish date.
Cheers
Martin

Publish Date is doing so now for D6 release.

I confirm that for the combination of Modr8 and Sunmailer, the D6 'Publish Date' module works as a perfect workaround.
That said, would still be nice if Modr8 module could handle this by itself.
