Hi,

I was wondering if the autosave module will also save any/all custom cck fields (not just title and body)? FYI, I am using v5 rc2, and php5.
Just seeing if anyone else has had experience with this...

thanks!

I noticed that it seems to be auto-saving as 'unpublished', and then when i click submit (even with the 'published' box checked) it will not be published after the submit, and field data is missing...

When i disable this module, the problems seem to go away...

I don't want to use too many modules for reasons of stability but content loss is an issue. Here's what I do:

- Don't edit on busy hours.

- Write text in a word processor, only need to copy and paste when finished. This diminishes your time in Edit mode.

- Don't add too many fields at once - CCK seems to protect you by limiting it to 3 rows.

- When you have a complicated body field (tables and images in html in my case):
First copy the content before you Submit. This goes easily with CtrlA-CtrlC. This way you will not loose everything in case sompn goes wrong posting.

Hope this helps, Hans

Helps for me, buit not for every user out there. A normal community-user will not follow such an advise...
