revisions

Referring to my document that tries to cover the topic on how to build a perfect multilingual / revisionnable system that allows to finally make content translation unneeded without regressions for typical advanced usecases in Drupal 8.

It finally went bigger than intended, but couldn't find too much to strip.

Feedback as comments appreciated.

As for most of our sites we want to turn revisions on for all content types, a module (or D7 core patch) to do this from somewhere with a single switch (or checkboxes for all content types in one place) would be nice.

Questions:
* Is there already a module that does this, hiding from my searches?
* Should other per-content-type workflow settings also be centralized?
* Where should centralized settings like this live in the administration menu?

Hi,

After a lot of trial and error I had to scrap the use of the Revisioning module as it simply made things for the authors/moderators to complex to usable, but also created a lot of not so nice side effects for other content as mentioned here. Plus when cleaning up after it I got a total WSOD and 404 on every page, took me hours to get the site back...

Hejhej,

Jag har sett att Drupal har något typ av versionshanteringssystem eftersom att det finns inställningar för revisioner här och var. Jag har egentligen två frågor gällande detta:

1. Någon som sitter på nån länk där jag kan finna information mer specifikt om hur det funkar?
2. Någon som vill dela med er vad ni har för "policy" vad gäller nya revisioner. Skapar ni en ny vid varje större ändring av sidan, eller ni kanske inte använder funktionaliteten alls?

Nyfiken,

Jens

It would be great to allow authenticated users to see the revisions tab.

An example: Just today I was looking at chx's great new wiki page in the usability group regarding the Chris Messina critique of Drupal. I would have loved to be able to see the revision tab.

If folks don't want to do it for all nodes, at least it should be the default for Wiki nodes.

Recently d.o. has allowed authenticated users to see revisions. I can't think of a good reason not to.

Hey everyone -

I just got my own local copy of drutex working for drupal 5.0 (I still need to get an install of latex for my server; its a hosted server - I'm looking into server farms, but haven't been able to find anything reasonable yet)

I just installed drupal for the first time, so this was sort of a get oriented with the system project. I expected it to take a long time.... it took 5 minutes! (granted, I still have to install latex on my server - but it appears drutex is working fine)

The revision system.

Drupal has a great feature whereby editing a node can create a revision of that node. Whenever create new revisions is checked under Publishing options, editing a node will result in a new revision. Users with the view revisions or administer nodes permissions will see a Revisions tab on node viewing pages. The Revisions tab interface allows you to view the individual revisions, revert to an earlier revision, and delete revisions.

One interesting detail of the system is the behavior of the reverting mechanism. Let's say you have revisions {1,2,3,current}. If you revert to revision #2, a copy of #2 is made and the copy is set as the current revision. Thus, after reverting you'll have {1,2,3,4,current}, where current is a clone of #2, and #4 is the previous current revision.
