Hello,

My first post. I am not very technical though was a webkeeper ages ago. The site I work with was created using Drupal.

Can anyone advise me how to view a list of when webpages were last updated through the admin interface?

The site content, (mainly medical text and communication of science), has mushroomed over the last few years and it is difficult to keep track of which pages have been updated with the latest guidelines. Currently I think it relies upon the memory of the webmaster.

Is there a way to keep track of when pages were updated?

I think having a feed direct into the site with updates will not work, as the source, (often research papers and technical guidelines), requires interpretation before appearing on the site I work with.

Any help appreciated!

Brian

Hi Brian,

Are you using Drupal 7 or Drupal 8?

Either way, you should be able to find your content listed at the Content > List page (or just the Content page in Drupal 8), which is usually at

https://www.example.com/admin/content

 ... that same URL should bring you to the content listing in either Drupal 7 or Drupal 8.

By default, the list is usually sorted by the date a page was last updated.

If you're using Drupal 7, you might want to look at the Admin Views module:

https://www.drupal.org/project/admin_views

It gives you full Views-based listings for your site's content, which makes it even easier to manage. As a bonus, it gives you some great real-world examples of how you can use Views to create administrative listing pages for your content. I do that sort of thing all the time on my clients' sites, and it might be useful for you to build some custom views that show exactly the content you're looking for.

(Drupal 8 also uses views for administrative tasks. If you're using Drupal 8, try taking a look at the View used to create the Content listing page:

https://www.example.com/admin/structure/views

That will give you some ideas about how Views can be used to create administrative listing pages.)

I hope that helps!
