Hiya, content.getMetadata().getModificationDate() will return the date the content was last modified. content.getMetadata().getLastActionDate() will return the date the content was last published / depublished.
In Magnolia 4.5 onwards you would use: MetaDataUtil.getMetadata(node).getModificationDate() MetaDataUtil.getMetadata(node).getLastActionDate() However, unfortunately, the lastActionDate is never correct on the public instance, since this timestamp is updated only after the content is sent to the public system. Thus, on the public system lastActionDate always contains an "old" value, the date of the previous activation, not the current one. If you really need the publication-date on the public server, you will need to create your own property to store this, and: A) either have your editors manually enter the date, B) or automatically set the date when content is published You can accomplish B) for example by creating a command for the "activation" command-chain on the author instance, or maybe by using the observation module on the public instances.
