[TYPO3-dam] bug: dam_frontend: about creation and modification date metadata

[Stefan Busemann]

Hi Ivano,

there are diffent kind of dates in the tx_dam table.

Creation date / modification date belonging to the dam record itself

The Creation date / modification date  in the file box are belonging to 
the file and are write protected.

And to keep the confusion, there is also a column tstamp (which is not 
visible in the backend) which keeps the modification date of the record too.

What kind of date fields are shown in the dam_frontend extension, 
depends on your template. By default the the column ###CRDATE###  is 
used. Change the name of the marker to the field you like to display.

The filter function currently supports only the crdate field (this 
hardcoded). If you need to support other field, please make a feature 
request at http://forge.typo3.org/projects/show/extension-dam_frontend

Thank you!

Stefan
