Document compatibility with jekyll-last-modified-at

[FrederikLauber]

Hi,

it seems that lastmod does not reflect the changes in a file anymore.
Instead, it always stays constant.

Example:
https://flambda.de/sitemap.xml
Look for:

<url><loc>https://flambda.de/2013/08/25/pendel-time-calculations/</loc><lastmod>2013-08-25T21:40:00+02:00</lastmod></url>

The page has been updated multiple times since 2013, still, lastmod has the same value as the date field in the yaml of the post. (21:40 is specified in the yaml).

With best regards,

[pathawks]

<lastmod> Will only reflect the modified date of the file as reported by the filesystem if you have jekyll-last-modified-at installed. It looks like this is not stated anywhere in our documentation; we should probably make a note of that somewhere.

The timestamp is up to date now!?

Issue opener used a other tool now or the issue can be closed.

Excatly what pathawks said.

After I had opened this bug not knowing anything about the dependency on jekyll-last-modified-at, I was told to install this here in this bug and hence, now the sitemap is correct.

Should I either open a new bug with a request to alter the documentation to include this very important information or should this bug just stay open until the documentation includes the information?

[pathawks]

I changed the title of the issue, and I’m keeping this issue open as a reminder for myself to change the docs. If somebody else beats me to it, that’s cool too 👍

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not been commented on for at least
one month.

The resources of the Jekyll team are limited, and so we are asking for your help.

If you can still reproduce this error on the 3.1-stable or master branch,
please reply with all of the information you have about it in order to keep the issue open.

If this is a feature request, please consider building it first as a plugin. Jekyll 3 introduced
hooks which provide convenient access points throughout
the Jekyll build pipeline whereby most needs can be fulfilled. If this is something that cannot be
built as a plugin, then please provide more information about why in order to keep this issue open.

Thank you for all your contributions.

@pathawks Would you mind updating this soon? No need for a PR if you don't want to do that part of the dance – just push straight to master. 😄

Thanks for the reminder @jekyllbot

If we don't have the jekyll-last-modified-at plugin, is it possible to add the information in the Front Matter ?

Answer is Yes. And I've created the PR for the documentation 😄
