dfmedia / wp-term-timestamps

This is a WordPress plugin that stores timestamps when terms are created and modified, and the user ID who created or modified it. Also adds fields (created & modified) to the GraphQL TermObject Schema if wp-graphql is active.

WP Term Timestamps

This is a simple plugin that records timestamps when terms are created or modified, and the ID of the user who made the modification.

Term Creation

Whenever a term is created the following data will be stored in the term's term_meta:

Terms that were created before this plugin was activated will, of course, not have this meta stored.

• meta_key: created_by

• meta_value: User ID for who created the term

• meta_key: created_timestamp

• meta_value: Timestamp for when the term was created

Term Updates

Whenever a term is updated, the following data will be stored in the term's term_meta:

• meta_key: last_modified_timestamp

• meta_value: Timestamp for when the term was most recently modified

• meta_key: last_modified_by

• meta_value: User ID for who most recently modified the term.

• meta_key: modifications

• meta_value: Array which includes timestamp and the user ID for the user who modified the term

WPGraphQL Support

This plugin provides support for WPGraphQL version 0.0.12 and newer (https://github.com/wp-graphql/wp-graphql).

When querying terms, the termObjects now have a created and modified field.

Here is an example GraphQL query that would work with WPGraphQL and this plugin active.

query { 
    categories {
        id
        link
        name
        created {
            time
            user {
                id
                username
            }
        }
        modified {
            time
            user {
                id
                username
            }
        }
        modifications {
            time
            user {
                id
                username
            }
        }
    }
}
