Edit non-current revision?

robbm - April 29, 2009 - 09:34

Hi,

I'd like to create a new version of a page (e.g. a revision) together over time (saving my changes between edits) and for other (suitably privileged) users to be able to review this page before I put it live.

How can I do this?

It seems that with the core revision funtionality, you can only edit the current revision, whereas what I need to be able to do is edit an "offline" version.

I've seen that there are some modules for revision workflow, but they seem to be overkill: I don't need a workflow to be enforced or to have different users with different privileges. So is there a simpler solution?

Thanks.

Hi,

How about: http://drupal.org/project/save_as_draft - would that do want you want?

Sounds good

Thanks - yeah, that sounds like the kind of thing I need. Seems to have a few issues, but I'll probably give it a go...

Alternative

Hi,

Yeah, I hadn't looked closely at the issue queue ... but it looks like http://drupal.org/project/revision_moderation/ does something very similar and has more active development. They're both on my list of 'might come in handy one day' modules, but I haven't tried them out yet.
