Add automatic page date fallback

[vbatoufflet]

Hi,

This PR adds an automatic value for Page.Date using the file's ModTime as fallback when none is provided?

Please let me know if it suits to you.

Regards.

I guess this is a fair compromise.

You need to use the https://github.com/spf13/hugo/blob/master/hugofs/fs.go#L30 filesystem.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I just updated my PR to use hugofs.

This causes a trouble if you are using Page in terms of WordPress: about/sitemap/privacy policy/etc which do not have .Date suddenly start to appear in feeds or the list of recent posts.

Hi all,

Maybe we can define a configuration option to toggle automatic date feature?

WDYT?

WDYT?

Yes, we need that, and set it to default = false. Could you create a PR?

[luixxiul]

That would be great!

Hi All,

Any suggestion on the setting name, e.g. AutomaticFallbackDates or AutoDates?
