Autosave
The autosave module automatically saves a snapshot of your content type form using AJAX. If the user's browser or machine dies while editing a node; the edits will be presented to the user the next time they return to the node. The user may toggle back and forth between the last saved version and the version with the edits that were lost and select which of these they would like to continue with.
How often a form is autosaved as well as which content types to enable autosave for are admin configurable.
This module requires:
jQuery Update
jQuery Form Plugin
New version 5.x-2.x; development in progress
- Autosave will now save forms, not only nodes. Follow the discussion at http://drupal.org/node/156036
- Requires JQuery Update
5.x-3.x version added to CVS
Major fixes/modifications done by liquidcms sponsored by LifeWire.com (a NY Times Company). Referenced in various issues in the issue tracker.
- fix issues with operation in IE7
- provide support for TinyMCE
- clean up autosave table after successful submit of node
- fix autosave validate bug on submit
- add support to enable autosave for specific node types
- fix issue of wrong form_id when VIEW->IGNORE
NOTE: this "branch" of autosave does not save all the forms on a page - it only saves the form used to do a node edit. I think version 5.x-2.x may have done this; but not sure it was working correctly. Part of the JS code to allow for multiple forms is still in place - if someone wants to complete this feature, any help would be appreciated.
