Item10006: Implement some way to search for topics based on the creator's name, not last editor
Priority: Low
Current State: No Action Required
Released In: n/a
Target Release: n/a
Applies To: Engine
Component:
Branches:
It looks like the only name you can search for with a
Query Search is
author
(
META:TOPICINFO.author
), which represents the last person to edit a topic, and no way to search based on the name of the
creator of a topic (author of first rev).
The current formatting tokens distinguish between the
creator of a topic (
$createusername, $createwikiname, and $createwikiusername
) and the
last editor of a topic (
$username, $wikiname, and $wikiusername
), which is very handy.
I propose the addition of a
META:TOPICINFO
fields that record information about who created a topic, as well as support for querying this information in
SEARCH
and
QUERY
macros.
Ideally this could be cached in
META:TOPICINFO.creator
, and the save handler would upgrade older topics to include it on save, for faster querying.
For backward compatibility (or in the case that adding
META:TOPICINFO.creator
isn't feasible/desirable),
SEARCH
and
QUERY
should be able to resolve this information from the RCS data if it is not present the topic metadata.
