Question

Hi everyone. I need to know if current document revision is final and to change topic title accordingly.

I can get current revision by %REVINFO{"$rev"}%.

But how can I get last revision number of the topic? So than I can add to topic title something

like that:

%IF{'%REVINFO{"$rev"} %<$finalRev' then='<strong>Obsolete revision</strong>'}

So the question is how to get $finalRev.

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Possibly include it in from a (html comment) section containing just REVINFO in the "final revision" of the topic?

How can it be done? How can I distinguish is this topic revision last in history? Is there any way to access history except REVINFO?

A simple search actually seems to go the way for newest revision:

%IF{'%REVINFO{"$rev"}%<%SEARCH{ "%TOPIC%" topic="%TOPIC%" scope="topic" nosearch="on" nototal="on" format="$rev" }%' then='%RED% *THIS VERSION HAS BEEN OBSOLETED* %ENDCOLOR%'}%

Warning goes here in obsoleted revision:

Hello, I modified this code to

%IF{'%REVINFO{"$rev"}%<%SEARCH{ "%BASETOPIC%" topic="%BASETOPIC%" scope="topic" nosearch="on" nototal="on" format="$rev" }%' then='<center>%RED% *OBSOLETE REVISION - FOR REFERENCE ONLY* %ENDCOLOR%</center>' else='Any another text here. Revision details: %REVINFO{"r$rev - $date - $time - $wikiusername" topic="%BASEWEB%.%BASETOPIC%"}%'}%

and include this topic in the most of the other topics in the Web, generally it is work well, but I get two problems:

1) I noticed strange bug - Sometimes, If topic had attachments/images It said [code], what revision always obsoleted. I can not get any more precised dependencies.
2) If topic is non-WikiWord this code generate errors;

Example (this shows at point of including):

IF{ "26<" else="Any another text here. Revision details: r3 - 16 Jun 2006 - 14:31:14 - YuryK? " then="

Can anybody help me to fix these problems?

I found answer on first question, should be

%REVINFO{"$rev" topic="%BASEWEB%.%BASETOPIC%"}

And I make more detailed research on second item.

Surround the search with <noautolink></noautolink> tags:

<noautolink>
%IF{'%REVINFO{"$rev"}%<%SEARCH{ "%BASETOPIC%" topic="%BASETOPIC%" scope="topic" nosearch="on" nototal="on" format="$rev" }%' then='<center>%RED% *OBSOLETE REVISION - FOR REFERENCE ONLY* %ENDCOLOR%</center>' else='Any another text here. Revision details: %REVINFO{"r$rev - $date - $time - $wikiusername" topic="%BASEWEB%.%BASETOPIC%"}%'}%
</noautolink>

generates: Any another text here. Revision details: r10 - 19 Dec 2006 - 20:55:13 - Main.ArthurClemens
