   2 ### Decode datastore content
   3 To display the array representing the data saved in `data/datastore.php`, use the following snippet:
   4
   5 ```php
   6 $data = "tZNdb9MwFIb... <Commented content inside datastore.php>";
   7 $out = unserialize(gzinflate(base64_decode($data)));
   8 echo "<pre>"; // Pretty printing is love, pretty printing is life
   9 print_r($out);
  10 echo "</pre>";
  11 exit;
  12 ```
  13 This will output the internal representation of the datastore, "unobfuscated" (if this can really be considered obfuscation).
  14
  15 Alternatively, you can transform to JSON format (and pretty-print if you have `jq` installed):
  16 ```
  17 php -r 'print(json_encode(unserialize(gzinflate(base64_decode(preg_replace("!.*/\* (.+) \*/.*!", "$1", file_get_contents("data/datastore.php")))))));' | jq .
  18 ```

  20 ### Changing the timestamp for a link
  21 * Look for `<input type="hidden" name="lf_linkdate" value="{$link.linkdate}">` in `tpl/editlink.tpl` (line 14)
  22 * Replace `type="hidden"` with `type="text"` from this line
  23 * A new date/time field becomes available in the edit/new link dialog.
  24 * You can set the timestamp manually by entering it in the format `YYYMMDD_HHMMS`.
