LastUpdateContextProcessor

@@ +1 @@
+Here is a simple context processor that you can use to display the latest update to your site (using the history produced by the admin app).
+{{{
+def last_update(request):
+    """Returns the last logged update with the admin."""
+    from django.contrib.admin.models import LogEntry
+    try:
+        entry = LogEntry.objects.all().order_by('-action_time')[0]
+    except IndexError:
+        entry = None
+    return {'last_update': entry}
+}}}
+
+Once you have added this to TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS in your settings.py, you can use the following in your templates:
+{{{
+Site last updated: <a href="{{ last_update.get_edited_object.get_absolute_url }}">{{ last_update.action_time|date:"j M Y" }}</a>
+}}}
