It would be helpful if the "submitted by" string could (optionally) have information about the last edit appended to it.

The basic scenario is where you have a number of people working on a set of pages and you want to know from looking at that page who last edited the page and when.

Currently this could be done in the theme with a nasty hack if you use revisions, but that's sub-optimal. Besides, it may be useful when revisions aren't enabled as a post option. I assume it would involve an extra field in the node table for the uid of the person who last updated the node, an option in the content type administration page and some code to save the data when the nodes are updated.

We would like to see a feature such as this added as well. In a setting where we serve the public, it is important to them to know how recent the information on a given page is.

I'd like to see this implemented as soon as possible. It's a critical update for our site for collaborate work on documents.

If you want this to happen in Drupal 6, then review this patch that allows this (and many other things) to be done with the "submitted" string.

http://drupal.org/node/146386

Install it on a HEAD checkout from CVS, test it, and then mark it as "ready to be committed".

Marking this as duplicate of the more generic patch.
