List Last Changes for WordPress

In difference to the widget, with the block no title is written. If a title is needed it has to be defined in an own block in front of the List Last Changes block.

Shortcode To show the list of the last changes via shortcode use the following syntax:

[list_last_changes number='7' showpages='true' showposts='true' showauthor='false' usedatepublished='true' template='{title} {change_date} {author}' /]

The attribute ‘number’ defines the number of entries shown.

With the attributes ‘showpages’ and ‘showposts’ changed pages and/or posts are included.

To show also the author set the attribute ‘showauthor’ to true (deprecated, use template mechanism instead).

With the attribute ‘usedatepublished’ set to ‘true’ the date when the page or post was first published, if set to ‘false’ (or not set at all) the date the page or post was modified is used.

The ‘template’ attribute defines the content of the entries. If the ‘template’ attribute is defined the attribute ‘showauthor’ is ignored.

In difference to the widget, with the shortcode no title is written. If a title is needed it has to be defined by hand in front of the shortcode.

Templates In the template string the following fields can be used: {title}, {change_date}, {published_date}, {author} and {editor}.

{title} : the title of the page or post with a link to it

{change_date} or {change_date[format]} : the date the page or post was changed (“modified date”)

{published_date} or {published_date[format]} : the date the page or post was published (“post date”)

{author} : the author of the page or post

{editor} : the last editor of the page or post

With the optional [format] the date format of change_date and published_date can be defined. The date format is in the php date formatting.

Without definition the wordpress system date format is used.

Sample templates:

{title} {change_date} : the default template

{title} {change_date[Y-m-d H:i]} : like the default template but with date and time defined by the given format

{title} {change_date} {author} : behaves as in versions before 0.9 when show author was enabled

{change_date} : shows only the change_date, can be used with number = 1 as last modified date of a WordPress Site
