WordPress CMS modifications

I am pleased to announce the launch of our first plugin available to the public for WordPress - the imaginatively titled Content Last Updated Plugin. It serves a simple function - it inserts the date your site was last updated along with the date the last time a post or page was modified (when viewing a single post or page).

It features an administration panel that allows you to configure the text that goes before the site last updated date and page/post last updated date. The default options are shown in the example below - the user configurable text is ‘Site last updated’ and ‘This page last updated’.

Example

It will output the following on the homepage, category view, search results and 404 error pages:

Site last updated October 1, 2007

It will output the following on single pages and posts:

Site last updated October 1, 2007 This page last updated October 1, 2007

Download the plugin

WPCMS Content Last Updated Footer Plugin Version: 1.0b - Latest version

WordPress installation

1. Unzip the downloaded file
2. Upload decompressed file called ‘wpcms_footer_contentupdated.php’ to wp-content/plugins/
3. Login and activate the plugin
4. Once activated, administrator users can manage the options under Options>Last Updated Footer

Usage

As this plugin uses the ‘wp_footer’ function to automatically insert the information into your website, you shouldn’t have to edit your theme. Your template must have the line:

<?php do_action(’wp_footer’); ?>

in the footer.php file for it to function correctly, if this is not in your footer.php file, simply copy and paste it in.
