Highlight Changes Using Revision Moderation

smcguinness - January 5, 2008 - 18:10

This might sound a little like a feature request between a couple modules but its more of a feeling out type deal regarding the possibility to do it.

I currently use the revision moderation module which works very well. However, with some of the nodes I have the module working on, there are a lot of fields with a lot of data, too much for me to keep track of the changes. I posted a feature request on the Revision Moderation module and I was directed to the Diff Module. It does what I need of pointing out "This field is different from this field", but I was thinking of more of a combined module of sorts where the two work collaboratively in that revision moderation keeps track of the revision and then Diff communicated with revision moderations "revised node" screen and sends a parameter which highlights the changed or modified fields in the single screen.

So the questions are...Possible? Worth While? Anyone else interested?

But isn't this pretty much

But isn't this pretty much what Diff does? You indicate that you'd like to see the "diff" between version A and Version B, and diff returns a nice color-coded display for you.

I agree

No I totally agree. There is a definite need for a module like this. I plan on other people editing our site I have total faith that I can use Diff and Revision Moderation hand in hand but I just don't think everyone will understand how to go back and forth between Revision Moderation and Diff. See my thread here, can anyone help me?

i think http://drupal.org/project/lifewire_diff is much close to what you're looking for than the diff module.
