MainDocument (last modified on XXXX by YYYY)

AnotherDocument (last modified on XXXX by YYYY)

where XXXX and YYYY get filled in automatically.

I added this to the extendHandleCommonTags in wikicfg.pm.

    $text =~ s/%REVISIONNAME{(.*?)}%/(&getRevisionInfo($1,"",1))[1]/geo;
    $text =~ s/%REVISIONDATE{(.*?)}%/(&getRevisionInfo($1,"",1))[0]/geo;

Does this only apply to the current CVS version? I am using 01Dec2001 and for me getRevisionInfo needs two variables at the beginning, the web and the topic. Also it mentions that getRevisionInfoFromMeta is faster. So I would need something like:

    $text =~ s/%REVISIONNAME{(.*?), *(.*?)}%/" - Changed by: ".(&TWiki::Store::getRevisionInfoFromMeta($1, $2,"",1))[1]/geo;
    $text =~ s/%REVISIONDATE{(.*?), *(.*?)}%/" - Last changed: ".(&TWiki::Store::getRevisionInfoFromMeta($1, $2,"",1))[0]/geo;

The problem here is having to enter the information twice first enter the link, then enter the revisiondata and enter the destination link again. Is there a way to avoid this? The ideal would be something like

[[Dest][Dest name][%REVISIONDATE%]]

OOPS! Just noticed that AlWilliams entry is from over 2 years ago. I just looked at the date and assumed it was entered 2 days ago :-(.

Anyway, are there any new developements here that make it easier to add "last modified" information to a link?
