Question

How can I include the name of the last person to change the page and the date of that change? E.g. As in the form at: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/AnsweredQuestions

I create a TWiki Form. One field inside the Form is a field named Lastupdatewho. The value of that field is the TWiki Variable WIKIUSERNAME. When I use this Form in a Templatepage the field Lastupdatewho is empty. I enter in the field on the Templatepage again the TWiki Variable WIKIUSERNAME. When I save the Page the value of the field Lastupdatewho is TwikiGuest not my Twikiname. When I create a new Page with my Templatepage and view the Preview Change, the value of the formfield Lastupdatewho is my Twikiname, but when I save the Page the value change to TwikiGuest.

How can I include the name of the last person to change the page & date of change?

I have examples saved in the Sandbox

Update: I don't think the following really answers the question, but neither have we heard from Alexandra saying that. Maybe someone else can provide a better answer. (rhk)

I just copied this from the AnsweredQuestions page you mention above -- it should work -- I'll save and test it:

%SEARCH{ "[S]upportStatus.*(td..td|value\=).*[A]nsweredQuestions" casesensitive="on" regex="on" nosearch="on" order="modified" reverse="on"}%

That seems to work -- you'll have to change the search criteria ("[S]upportStatus.*(td..td|value\=).*[A]nsweredQuestions") to something that meets your needs.

Testing (now disabled with <nop>):

%SEARCH{ "[S]upportStatus.*(td..td|value\=).*[A]nsweredQuestions" casesensitive="on" regex="on" nosearch="on" order="modified" reverse="on"}%
