That sounds like a good idea to me!

Making it so that the user can change the date displayed but that the
'real' dates can still be accessed if required for assessment purposes.

It balances creativity and academic usage.

I can foresee some lovely potential utilizations of this, with students
setting the display date to be way in the past and pretend to blog as
historical figures, but the tutor being able to go in and see the 'real
dates' to check they did actually do the work when they were supposed
to.

Best wishes,

Domi

Title:
  Allow the "date" of a journal entry to be editable by the user

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Spun off from Bug 1519732: "Additionally it would be nice if you could
  edit the date slug for journal entries, as the published date may not
  be the date you want to show."

  I've seen this request come up before for Mahara, and it's worth
  considering because most dedicated blogging platforms have this
  feature. Specifically the idea is that, when you're editing or writing
  your blog entry, along with the description and body there is an
  editable field for its date. The date you enter here is then used for
  sorting the blog posts chronologically, and it's also displayed to the
  users when they view the blog posts.

  One use-case for this is offline experiences entered retroactively.
  For instance, you go on a month-long hiking trip. You write down a
  daily journal. When you get back, you enter that written journal into
  your Mahara journal, and you want the dates on the journal entries to
  match up. (This can be accomplished via the MaharaDroid application,
  but not everyone is able to use that.)
