Display date/time and username of last edit for HTML Content

I'd like an option on the HTML module to display last edit user + date/time.  I would also find it very useful if this was then switched on for the mojoPortal documentation pages - it would help evaluate how relevant/correct an article is likely to be.

I'm constructing a knowledge base in mojoPortal, and this will make a huge difference to the quality of the result.

thanks

I've added an item in our project tracker for this. Actually I've been meaning to make that possible for a long time.

Best,

Joe

Thanks Joe

Would be useful to have options on the content instance for

a) Show user and date/time created

b) Show user and date/time last edited

Great news Joe much appreciated, and I'll be happy to give it a test as soon as you release.

Re: Display date/time and username of last edit for HTML Content

We are using this new feature a lot - much appreciated for web sites for product documentation and/or knowledgebase content. Is there any way of setting this (and other feature properties) as defaults?  Another possibility might be sticky settings, i.e. each new instance remembers the properties set on the previous.

But thinking a little wider, this is where "Page templates" would be the best solution for us - we'd have a named page template that was a page + html feature with exactly the settings we want.

You could edit the file /Setup/applications/mojoportal-core/FeatureDefinitions/10000_HtmlContentModule.config

to change the default value of those settings to true, then visit the /Setup/Default.aspx page to apply those changes.

After that any newly created instances of Html content feature will have the new default values. The only downside is you will have to edit that file again every time you upgrade mojoPortal.

The settings that would need changing in that file are:

<featureSetting
resourceFile="Resource"
grouNameKey="MainSettings"
resourceKey="ShowCreatedBy"
defaultValue="false"
controlType="CheckBox"
controlSrc=""
sortOrder="310"
regexValidationExpression=""
/>

<featureSetting
resourceFile="Resource"
grouNameKey="MainSettings"
resourceKey="ShowCreatedDate"
defaultValue="false"
controlType="CheckBox"
controlSrc=""
sortOrder="320"
regexValidationExpression=""
/>

<featureSetting
resourceFile="Resource"
grouNameKey="MainSettings"
resourceKey="ShowModifiedBy"
defaultValue="false"
controlType="CheckBox"
controlSrc=""
sortOrder="330"
regexValidationExpression=""
/>

<featureSetting
resourceFile="Resource"
grouNameKey="MainSettings"
resourceKey="ShowModifiedDate"
defaultValue="false"
controlType="CheckBox"
controlSrc=""
sortOrder="340"
regexValidationExpression=""
/>

change false to true

Hope that helps,

Joe
