Resolved Cut off days in widget definition not working as expected

    Hi Bob
    We have a xa_ams_latest_articles widget for quite some time, displayed in the full-grid-block style.
    Lately we tried editing it into a random display of articles from the last 7 days.

    Unfortunately it displays articles from as far as 7/11/21...

    What could the issue be?
    I tried creating a new widget instead of editing, but I still keep getting articles from 2021...

    Thanks!

    What version of AMS?

    Can you post a screen shot of all the Widget Definition settings?

    I am not able to reproduce this.

    I just created a new Widget using the Widget definition - AMS: Latest articles

    I set the Sort order to: Random

    I set the Cut off days to: 7

    I set the Display Style to Full: Grid Block

    Selection_999(097).png

    It only fetches articles that have been created/updated in the last 7 days. If I increase the Cut off days to 30, it only fetches articles created/updated in the last 30 days. I have 100's of articles created/updated between Jan 1, 2022 and present. Not a single article older than June 25th (create date or last update date) is being fetched if I set the Cut off to 30 days.

    I'd have to troubleshoot this on your site since I can't reproduce it on any of my production or development servers. If that is possible, start a conversation with me :)

    If I had to GUESS, those older articles that are being fetched have been UPDATED (using the Post as Update feature), which sets the last_update date, which is the date evaluated (same as XF does).

    IIRC, the Change Date function in AMS allows you to change the Last Update date, so you can set back to the original create date of the article.

    You were absolutely right!
    :D
    The "old" articles were articles which were recently added to a series.
