Would it be possible to make it so that admins can see the email address used to create the node anonymously? I often have users who want to claim their content, but they forgot the email address they used or tried claiming it with a different address. Right now the only way to figure it out seems to be to go to admin/config/people/anonymous_publishing_cl/moderation and search for the node title in order to see the email address. If it could be visible on the node edit page, that would be a big time saver.

Thanks,
D.

It works, thanks very much!

The attached patch adds a bit of markup to help the line stand out more on the node page.

Something to consider would be to allow the user to change the weight to place it differently on the form (e.g. near the bottom, near all the other publishing details).

Thanks for the patch, djhspence!

It has now been commited to 7.x-1.x-dev.

Something to consider would be to allow the user to change the weight to place it differently on the form (e.g. near the bottom, near all the other publishing details).

Currently it is assigned a negative weight (-5) that cannot be changed. The use case I imagine is that some user who want to "claim" stuff previously posted anonymously, but has forgotten the email address he/she used. The user sends a support request asking the admin to find the address. To respond, the admin looks up the old content and learns the email address. In this situation, the admin is not interested in any other details, so the most convenient place to have it is at the top.

While it would be trivial to add a weight to this, I don't want to use too many DB variables or clutter the admin UI with too many options. Hence I want to see and review the use case before adding more UI components.
