Description
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I've checked the box "Show diffs inline for this content type" and I can't see any change in the diff output/behaviour (still 2-column side-by-side).
Any ideas??
TIA
#1
Changing status.
I've double checked my content type settings. and from scanning this http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/diff/diff.m... it seems I should be seeing additional options (inline diff form) when viewing a page? But there seems to be nothing there..!
Maybe I've overlooked something, but part of the problem is I don't know where to look to find the inline diff stuff.
#2
Updating title.

Yeah there is no documentation of the new features, so initially it throws you for a loop. The new inline functionality can be harnessed via a button entitled "Highlight changes" under the view tab of the node. After punching it you get a drop down selection to checkout inline diffs; different from what I expected. Nevertheless very welcomed features!

Thanks, where is this button? Have tried changing the site theme to Garland but still no sign of it when viewing a node!
I wonder if OG or another module is interfering somehow..
#5
Had an idea ... I can see the button if I log in as user 1.
What seems to be happening is that Highlight changes specifically requires "view revisions" permission, whereas viewing revisions can be done via administer nodes permission.
This turns out to be useful since the diff-inline-form somewhat breaks my page layout..! So I'm glad to be able to hide the resulting mess from other content admins!
