    how can i amend the uploaded date on a site asset document?

    we are using a new module to store repository documents called evotiva but this references the site assets folders.

    I'm trying to find which table in the database is responsible for displaying the uploaded date because we're uploading documents from years ago on to a new website and want them to use the date from years ago as the uploaded date.

      Basically "Site Assets" refers to the root folder for the portal for standard folders. Typically the folder is /portals/X where X is the portal number. You can organize files into any format or structure that you want to place into that folder. The Site Assets function simply displays files in that structure.

      I don't have a lot of experience with the Evotiva modules that do this. But, Global Storage opens up other storage options and DNNUserFiles is a side by side alternative (I think) for the Site Assets functionality.

      As far as altering the dates of the files in the folders, you probably have to get into Windows and edit those. I can imagine that will be quite a chore if there are lots of files. The might be software available to edit file attributes, but I have never tried that except for one file at a time. Perhaps you can write a PowerShell script to do that.

        All DNN files are represented in database table "Files" and folders in table "folders". Evotiva User Files is using same data, additional properties might be stored in database table ContentItems and ContentProperties.
