I’d like to display “Last Edited by”. I can’t find the tag that can pull the last revision author.

That’s because it doesn’t exist..😉

Each entry gets an author assigned, but that doesn’t change if a different person edits.

I’d suggest a feature request, or looking into a more advanced workflow tool like BetterWorkflow to see if it offers a solution.

Most of my data is being edited/ inserted through SAFECRACKER so BetterWorkflow is not able to fulfill my requirement. I guess I will open a feature request :( but the chances of getting it into the dev’s to-do list is slim.

I found a workaround using the Query Module, not sure about the performance impact tho. Here for your reference:

{exp:query sql="SELECT exp_entry_versioning.entry_id, exp_entry_versioning.author_id, exp_entry_versioning.version_date, exp_members.screen_name AS last_edit_by 
     FROM exp_entry_versioning INNER JOIN exp_members 
     ON exp_entry_versioning.author_id = exp_members.member_id 
     WHERE exp_entry_versioning.entry_id = {entry_id} 
     ORDER BY exp_entry_versioning.version_date DESC LIMIT 1"}
        {last_edit_by}
{/exp:query}

Hey Jabbler,

I am glad to see that Mike was able to offer a suggestion here and I am glad to see that you found a solution that works for you. Nice.

If you need anything else, please just let us know by opening a new thread.

Cheers,
