Attribution Tag (date modified, author etc.)

Hi,

I would like to request a simple tag (possibly named 'attrbutions' or 'attributes', which could write out the date modified, date created, author, etc info for a page. We implemented such a feature in a cmsms we use and it was very helpfull.

Perhaps the syntax of such a tag could be:
[attributions datecreated='true' authorinfo='true']

I apologise if this tag already exists, when i was playing around with cmsms a few weeks i didnt see it. It sounds like it would be a relatively simple addition (a caveat - a know little about php, and even less about cmsms).

Regards

michael

For date modified there is the following tag:

{modified_date format="%A %d-%b-%y %T %Z"}

But the others don“t exist at the moment.

Yes, I would prefer that each of these tags, if the exist, exist separately, othewide you would have to writa a module, with forms on the admin side to allow editing the format in which things were displayed.

Cool,

Thanks guys for being so helpful and responsive. Only wish i was up too speed to cmsms so i could write these tags myself. I was thinking about any other page attribution information that would be worth displaying - the only other one i can think of is 'template type' (either name or description). The reason i suggest this is in the past i have displayed the template type for some sort of visual clue or classification of pages.

Let us know if you think this may also be worth including.

Regards

michael

Hi!

Just wanted to add that I've been waiting for these features for a long time now, too. And I need them like a starving man needs bread.

Any idea when and if they're being included? I tried Piratos' "lastmodified" tag, but I need the "author" as well!
