I am building out a sitemap for a site, and I have a need to filter a usage of {exp:stats} based on a channel.  My expected code would look like this:

{exp:stats channel="news"}
    {last_entry_date format="{DATE_W3C}"}
{/exp:stats}

When I run this code though, it only outputs — instead of the expected date value.  When I remove the channel=“news” bit this outputs the date value of the most recent entry across all channels.

Some notes about my usage:  MSM is installed and running multiple sites.  I do NOT intend to get results from other sites, only the site this template lives in.  The {exp:stats} tag is NOT inside of any other tags.

Am I using this wrong?  Is what I am trying to do possible?

TacomaWeekly,

What you are doing is possible but I believe you ran into a bug. I have reported the issue on your behalf here.

Thank you for submitting that bug.  Let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it.

This is a weird bug then. Does it only surface under certain conditions? I’m not seeing this at all.

I’m using the same code and I get output.

Hi Christopher,

Which version and build are you using?

Cheers

Greg

ExpressionEngine is v2.1.0 Build 20101220

I still need to upgrade, but that came out while I was finishing my redesign, so I was afraid upgrading because I didn’t have time to deal with anything working differently.

Christopher,

The bug was reported for EE 2.1.3 so if you use that tag specifically with the {last_entry_date} variable then it is very likely it will not work for you if you upgrade until a fix has been incorporated into a build
