Save and show user last modifier information on Plone contents
Project description
Enhance the Plone catalog adding an additional information: the user who performed the last change. Optionally, expand the document byline section, showing this information.
Documentation
Catalog changes
After installing this product, the catalog of your Plone site will be populated with a new index and a metadata column: the Modifier. This will be the last user who performed a content change (both editing review state change).
Other products can start using this index for performing special searches.
Expand the document byline section
Optionally, this new information can be added to the content’s view.
To enable this you need to access ZMI and change the new displayLastModifierInByline property for the site_properties property sheet, checking it.
Please, note that this will also works for the new-style byline, that can also display the publication date (see PLIP #8699):
In facts, this can backport the publication date feature to older Plone versions (but this is a side effect of the product, not a wanted feature).
When the new byline information is used?
displayLastModifierInByline must be true.
Creator and Modifier must be not equals (just for not show a duplicate link).

Changelog
0.2 (2013-04-17)
Renamed the product from “collective.lastmodifier” to “rt.lastmodifier”. This is unbelievable and embarassing, but I didn’t find collective.lastmodifier when I looked for a Plone product with those features… and in the end I choosed the same name!
However the original product is using a different approach.
