I have added a field "Editor" to $wgCargoPageDataColumns on my Wiki, which saves the username of the last editor of a page.
Added the following code to do so:
After line 38:
if ( in_array( 'editor', $wgCargoPageDataColumns ) ) {
$fieldTypes['_editor'] = array( 'String', false );
}and after line 122:
if ( in_array( 'editor', $wgCargoPageDataColumns ) ) {
$pageDataValues['_editor'] = $wikiPage->getUserText();
}Could this be merged into a next version of Cargo? Thanks!
I thought about having this kind of column (maybe "_lastEditor" is a little better name for it). But how useful is this information?
Thanks for the quick feedback. I agree that _lastEditor would be a more descriptive name.
I'm using this to generate an overview of the pages within a category modified in the last week, along with metadata (from Cargo-powered templates) and whoever last modified it. This doesn't paint the full picture (there may have been multiple editors), but still gives an idea of what happened on those pages.
A next step would be to also add the approval status of a page (i.e. whether latest revision == approved revision) in case the ApprovedRevs extension is present. But now I might be pushing my luck here..
