How to add date on the title page while using jcappub.sty?

Question

I am using jcappub.sty. For instance -

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\pdfoutput=1
\usepackage{jcappub} 
\title{Title}
\author{Me}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\date{\today}
\section{Section:1}
.
.
\end{document}

I am trying to add the date on the title page. I followed the suggestion by samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz-

\makeatletter
\@date
\makeatother

But the date is going to be shown on the content-page. Is there any solution?

Answer 1

According to the discussion under question, one can add the date info to title-page by directly inputing date in \author{...}, or by patching \maketitle.

The following example patches \maketitle and add date info on title-page, directly under author.

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{jcappub} 
\title{Title}
\author{Me}
\date{\today}

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\makeatletter
\patchcmd{\maketitle}
  {\the\auth@toks\par}
  {\the\auth@toks\par\textmd{\@date}\par}
  {}{}
\makeatother

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\section{Section:1}
.
.
\end{document}
