2 users editing same article at same time!

nm.. got a good question from one of my clients today – she asked what would happen if 2 people were working on the same article at the same time… and asked if there was some kind of warning system in place.

I did a test using 2 separate browsers and using the same login and it let me do this – but I know this isn’t a solid test.

Could 2 people be editing the same article at the same time, or is there a safeguard against this?

Re: 2 users editing same article at same time!

There are no safe guards. If you look at the posts from the last few days here in this forum, you’ll find one where a similar question was asked. Some are considering handling this in a plugin, but you could also go for a plugin like md_versions that stores each version of an article and allows you to roll back to an older version.

Re: 2 users editing same article at same time!

Thanks ruud – I’ll look into md_versions and also check previous posts.

I do always do a search before I post – but most of the time, either me, or the person posting the relevant thread, uses different terminology (probably due to lack of understanding of the terminology of both parties) – so I find it hard to find what I need

Thanks for the info though and you will find another donation to the Textpattern development team coming from me soon.
