GUI for changing output

Is there only me here to discuss?

Well fine, all I wanted to say is:

The current design is good for admin users. For other unregistered user visiting the site, its enough to know when this page was last updated or something else; But just that, unregistered users don't need to the complete node details.

Is there any other module that has this functionality and so you are not planning to implement it?
Please let me know, so that we can think ahead of where we are right now.
Thanks

Hey Todd,

I am thinking of modifying this module so that,
1) we can have a GUI to choose what can be displayed.

Lets say we what to display:
a) This page has been updated by admin on Feb 19, 2008.
or
b) This page has been last updated on Feb 19, 2008.
or
c) This page was created on Feb 19, 2001.
etc

If user can decide the layout, it would be nice.
I can easily read this means a lot of work, but are you in support of this feature list?
Do you think its justified? Or do you know any other project that gives the above functionality and so you ain't planning to add it.
Lets discuss the chances....
Thanks

ya thanks todd,

well I have modified your about_this_node.module see below:

_______

/**
 * Theme function that build the block's output for nodes
 */
function theme_about_this_node_node($node_info, $node) {
/**
** patched on 3/4/2008 
** this complete function will be restored if commenting is reversed.
** author sankett
**/

  if (isset($node_info['updated']['value']['updated_on']['value'])) {
    $node_info['updated']['value']['updated_on']['value'] = format_date($node_info['updated']['value']['updated_on']['value'], 'long');
  } elseif (isset($node_info['created']['value']['created_on']['value'])) {
    $node_info['updated']['value']['updated_on']['value'] = format_date($node_info['created']['value']['created_on']['value'], 'long');
  }
  $last_updated_time = $node_info['updated']['value']['updated_on']['value'];
  $message = "<center>This page was last updated on $last_updated_time.</center>";
  return $message;
//  return theme('item_list', about_this_node_prepare_info($node_info, 'small'));
}

This will display a message: $message.
With your module in the blocks section I can now move this $message anywhere.
We can think of allowing user to freely include folowing things in his preformated $message.
You have worked the sql and everything to fetch them... and they are in $node_info.
Lets work on this to have a nice module there.
Cheers!
