[Fez-users] Versioning of Attached Files and External Links

[Lynette R. <el...@cs...>]

I just pushed code to the trunk (Rev 1897) that allows versioning of content
in Fez.  This is an extension of the work done by Matt Painter that allowed
viewing of versions of metadata (XML datastreams).  

 

To use...

 

1)       edit include/class.configuration.php and set:

a.       APP_VIEW_VERSIONS_ROLES

b.       APP_VIEW_VERSIONS_ROLE_IDS

These default to admin users only being able to see past versions.

 

2)       Go to Administration->Site Configuration->Versioning Settings

a.       Set Enable Versioning for Attached Files and External Links = On

 

As content (attached files and external links) is added and modified, older
versions can be viewed using a droplist of versions near the bottom of the
page.  When an attached file or external link is deleted, it is only marked
as deleted.  An admin can purge (permanently delete) content.  Content that
was deleted is viewable in previous versions.

 

XML datastreams that were created through the XSD Display will be versioned
based on the 'Versionable' flag as it is set in the XSD Display.  If a
particular datastream is not versioned and you view a previous version, you
will see the current values for that datastream.
