Last modified of the setting - time and by

[BomAleold]

I was thinking if for future versions you can enable a setting in CPU Saving & Optimization that would allow you to record the last change made to every "Settings" into acp within an Logs, and the latest release of information where you need it: (this is example for time, but for "by" is floated that)

into cpu settings we will have example:

What would you use this information for?

[BomAleold]

For some hook settings, theme template and css bits, ad code...

I know that could use time() if mode of field is save... And for view i output strings gmtime().

So, i could release it by this->settings... But is not "cool"

So you're saying in some hooks you might want to track the time a particular setting has been changed?

yes, if it is possible to join with a "Logs" for to trace the "edits"

[bfarber]

A single timestamp wouldn't necessarily help that need - inserting an admin log when settings are updated would be far more useful if you wanted to trace edits (what happens if someone edited something, then another admin changed it back 2 weeks later...just looking at a "Last updated on x" value wouldn't clarify that it WAS indeed set incorrectly for that 2 week period).

that is useful in case there would be many administrators that change the value of a field editor for a hook in the day... example '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>.

maybe this should be handled only by the developers or ips standardizes this somehow?
