I've used in the past <cfdirectory> to traverse the directories in the site
and pick out the last modified date of the most recently updated file.

Subject: last modified date of file
I recently took over maintaining some websites where there is a requirement
to have a "last modified" date at the bottom of every page. This is
currently accomplished by the <cfinclude> of a footer template which has a
date hard coded into it. However, some of the pages change more frequently
than others so I want to implement a way (other than hard coding it if I
can) of checking the main template's date and displaying that.
Our particular site is hosted at a public ISP on a shared NT box (CF4.01)
where it appears the CGI server side includes are turned off. (my web server
knowledge is not great so please correct me if I have made some wrong
assumptions.)
I attempted to use the simple javascript in the footer. (My javascript
skills are basically at the cut-and-paste level)
<script language="javascript">
document.write(document.lastModified);
</script>
Netscape gives me Dec 31, 1969 while IE displays the footer's date. Putting
the code in the main body of the template gives the date I want in IE but
Netscape(4.61) says we're starting the 70's again (a horrible prospect IMHO)
Any suggestions as to how I might proceed or what I may be doing wrong?
An additional question - given that I am a fan of the fusebox methodology
(though our current sites are not coded to such, the new ones will be), how
could one satisfy the last modified requirement on each page without
hardcoding the date?
