Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
It would be nice if one can see which moderator has published (approved) a certain revision.

RdeBoerI like your suggestion Martin!
Unfortunately Drupal core doesn't provide a lot of infrastructure to support this. As a programmer it is easy to find out who last modified the content, using existing data structures in code and on the database, but "who flicked the published flag" would require extra infrastructure.

RdeBoerActually... I you use Revisioning in combination with Workflow you get for each piece of moderated content a history of all the state changes ("in draft", "in review", "published" etc.) that the content went through. With the state changes you get the user name and the time it happened.
That would implement your feature request wouldn't it?
See this tutorial for a step-by-step guide on how to use Revisioning with the Workflow module.

ealexander CreditAttribution: ealexander commentedI was wondering whether this could be revisited as a feature to be integrated without Workflow.
I found that I was using Workflow on an installation solely for the purpose of tracking the publisher of a revision. The additional states and such added by workflow were just not helpful for my purposes and just added an unnecessary layer, with the exception of tracking the publisher of revisions.
Would be great to have this option without having to use workflow.

RdeBoerAlthough useful I won't implement this for 6.x-3.x.
D7 has better infrastructure and I may implement it for Revisioning D7.x
Comment #7
RdeBoerNot adding this to 6.x-3.x branch.
