Show who edited the page last?

Kirby 2 Solved ✅
1

I would like to display the name of the user who last edited a page, maybe something like this:

editor:
  label: Editor
  type: user
  readonly: true
  override: true

Is it possible?

Thanks

This can be achieved by setting the value of this field programmatically with the panel.page.update hook.

OK, thanks.

I will have to read up on how to use hooks…

Alright. Don’t hesitate to ask if you run into any problems.

I did that before… here you go…

// in config.php
kirby()->hook(['panel.page.create', 'panel.page.update'], function($page) {

  if($page->template() == 'templateWithEditor' ||
  	 $page->content()->has('editor') ||
  	 $page->editor()->isEmpty()) {
      try{
      	$page->update([
      		'editor'=>site()->user()->username()
      	]);
      }
      catch(Exception $ex) { }
  }
});

btw… what does override: true do? can not find it in the docs.

Thanks for the replies. Override is used in the date and time picker fields to override the already saved value with the default value

fields:
  time:
  label: Time
  type: time
  default: now
  override: true

I guess in my case I was hoping the default value could be the currently logged in user

@texnixe Is it possible to display kirby-logger values on the front-end? I can’t find any information on it in the forum.

Yes, you could do that. All data is saved to a log file. It’s not an official function of the plugin, but you can use the tail() function of the plugin to get the data on the frontend.
