Last Modified/By & Created Date/By

Question

Trying to get 4 variables into my page content at a certain point: - Last Modified Date - Who it was modified By (user) - Created Date - Who it was created By

Am I able to pull these at all points in my content.

It seems I can use:

At the top of code and it will display at the top of the page, but I can't put that anywhere else? Still a bit of a newbie, sure there is a reason for that or another tag that has to go around it?

Is there a way to grab the information via javascript?

Answer 1

As per my understanding from your question, you want to get all 4 fields from a list mentioned above.To get that it is enough to use Author, createdBy, Editor and Modifiedby from the list item using sharepoint REST Api.

Thanks.

I assume your custom page is going to be stored in a list (site pages, or something similar). If not, you really need to provide more details in your questions. Quick note. Editor and Modified By are the same thing.

When accessing your page you will have the ID in the query string and you can grab it from there. Then using REST API you can access the field data:

var call = $.ajax({
   url: "http://<site url>/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('ListTitle')/items('itemID')
   ,type: "GET",
   dataType: "json",
   headers: {
   Accept: "application/json;odata=verbose"
 }
 Success: function(data){
   var result = $.parseJSON(data.d);
   var authorField = result.Author;
   var createdField = result.Created;
   var modifedByField = result.Editor;

   // You now have the fields you are looking for.  Update your page fields as required from here.
 },
 Error: function() {Alert("Error Occurred!");
});
