Hi,

I have just created a Wiki website using Drupal for my class. he version of drupal that I am using is 6.9.
I have a problem of simultaneous edits on the wiki page. The wiki page should be edited and saved by the students in the class simultaneously but whenever 2 students try to edit the page and save it the one who hits 'save' first gets to save the page while the second student gets the error message 'This content has been modified by another user, changes cannot be saved.'

Is there any way that the users can edit the page and the content merges , say something like CVS. Since this is a wiki page I thought this would be a good way for collaborative editing.

Is there any way to get around the problem.

Thanks!!
Saurabh

Hi,

There are basically two ways round this - either use locks to prevent simulataneous editing (there are modules to do this, but I can't remember the names right now), or allow simultaneous editing and then deal with the conflicts. I haven't tried it yet, but the Revision Fu module - http://drupal.org/project/revision_fu - seems to do this, so it might be worth a look.
