I can't seem to get autosave running. I'm running Drupal 7.12, all modules are up to date. I enabled the autosave button on the TinyMCE profile page. The settings are on default, 10 seconds, and it is not in stealth mode. I am not seeing any pop up dialogs saying content is being saved and the information is not being saved if I close the overlay page without saving.

Any ideas? Are there certain modules that are known to interfere with it? I disabled all other contrib modules and tried again with no luck. Is there a step I'm missing?

Might be a silly q - did you edit the form values?

Hi, I have the same issue with the same config.
Settings are : autosave 1s, not stealth.
Editing a form but no autosave popup showing, and indeed nothing autosaved.

Ok, I figured it out. I was just missing a step, I needed to enable Autosave under the content type's configuration page (Administration > Structure > Content Type > Edit). The enable option is under the "Publishing Options" section. I'll go ahead and write up some documentation to make that a bit clearer for anyone else who gets stuck where I did :)

Sorry if I post this at the wrong place, but support for Autosave seems to be not really happening any more.

There is a competing module with more features at http://drupal.org/sandbox/dzhgenti/1316894

It's still not a proper project yet, but give that a go. That's what I'm using now, since the maintainer seems more involved with the module at the moment.

TinyMCE support is not working yet and CKEditor support only works with a patch @ http://drupal.org/node/1543146#comment-5909282.

This module also has a bit of overhead because it saves every n seconds, even if there are no changed values, but is easier to use and configure and has more options and it works with 7.12.

If there is interest we might get it to work with the WYSIWYG module properly.

Hallo!
In fact I was also missing the step in #3 . I did now activate the autosave as explained above, but still nothing happens.

Some ideas?

Cheers

Thank you cedewey, I couldn't figure out the readme as I have no clue what a node type is.
