    Can someone tell me how I can call the name of the user who last edited the page?

    I want to put in the footer: page last updated on ... by ...

    I got the date happening already.

    Thanks!

      Are all the editors manager users? If so, you can make a snippet like this (I called mine WhoDunnit). There’s also an API function called getWebUserInfo() if all the editors are web users, though I haven’t checked whether the ID returned as "editedby" works for them as well.

      <?php
$lastEditorId = $modx->documentObject['editedby'];
$lastEditorInfo = $modx->getUserInfo($lastEditorId);

return $lastEditorInfo['fullname'];
?>

        i had little trouble using your code in a ditto chunk so i find this little gem with phx :

        [+editedby:userinfo=`username`+]
          CTRL+SHIFT+U - Clear Cache
          CTRL+SHIFT+H - Hiding Heft Panel
          CTRL+SHIFT+N - Fast Create Resource
          CTRL+ALT+P - Preview Recource (in edit resorce window)
          CTRL+ALT+S - Save
