#15790 closed enhancement (maybelater)

Date column for Scheduled posts should also state the time

Description

For obvious reasons, for scheduled posts, it's very useful to see not just the date but the time, but the wp-admin posts interface does not show it - only the date.

It'd be very useful to see the time as well.

Thanks.

Click the Excerpt view icon, near the pagination.

Sure, it's available then, but it's not really convenient (requires a page load), doesn't show up by default, and still makes sense on the list view. In fact, I don't see why the time isn't on by default even for non-scheduled posts.

Because it's extra data we don't need to display in most cases?

Most people need at-a-glance for dates. Times are just another 4-10 characters that would make the column wider and/or more difficult to scan.

Not in 3.1.

  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to Future Release
  • Version set to 3.0.4

The whole point of list view vs excerpt view is that one has more limited information (list view, single line each, most basic info needed to identify the listed items) and one lays it all out there (excerpt view). Even when in list view and the time is not shown, the sort order is determined by it, so there's an implicit time relationship on display. Quick edit will show the time without a whole page load.

I could maybe see a case for it in the specific Scheduled (#) view, since that view would be specific to the kind of workflow I'm guessing archon810 is trying to cater to, but as with most niche workflow-related UI changes, I'd like to see it as a plugin first.

Moving to future release for discussion in next cycle, but would suggest someone put together a plugin in meantime... I'm not super inclined to override an intentional design decision and introduce more elements on an already-crowded screen based on an opinion or two that it would be better. If someone writes a plugin, would be happy to work it into UI testing to see if it has a positive/negative impact on managing content speed/ease of use.

Wrote a plugin prototype. Should it be available in the Plugin Directory for UI testing?

Closing as maybelater. Complete lack of interest on the feature on the ticket over the last 5 years. Feel free to reopen when more interest re-emerges (particularly if there's a patch)
