Users overwriting edits (editing the same time)

Post by giggler »

What is (or is there) a setting to prevent two back end users from editing the same page at the same time and overwriting each other's edits?

When one user is making an edit, the page should be "locked" until they hit submit, then the other person knows someone is making and edit and will not overwrite the changes.

Cool. I had a hard time finding the Roadmap/schedule for releaess (just found it now). I think this page should be linked from the "top main Development" tab as well since that would be where most users would try to find that info (unless if it's already there and I missed it):

(some more info/list on what's to come for 2.0 would also be good and would keep people very interested!)

Sure, what do I need to do? I really think CMSMS is great from the short time I've spent with it. Learning curve was much better than other open source CMS I've tried. So I'd definitely want to help support it whatever way or time I have or can.

I can probably help with user experience, but I can't help with copy writing (not strong point - more in the visuals and usability).

most of the website help we need is with implementation, and updating the content..... I'm sure you'll be fine.... I've forwareded your name to tsw (the website team lead) and maybe you can help him implement the new theme, and re-organise the site.

It'll be a plus on both sides, we'll get the help we need with our website, and you'll get experience with CMS.

That should be easy. I actually have experience in CMS already (different ones, but I found CMSMS because I wanted one that uses smarty)  and with CMSMS, it's so simple that I already implemented two sites with it.
