CMS Made Simple Forums

Is there anything in CMSMS for handling different editors attempting to edit the same page at the same time? I just set up a site for an organization, they have a page which may run the risk of having 2 editors trying to edit it at the same time. Is there any way to lock/disable editing or at least warn a user if another editor has a page open for editing if they try to edit it?

This is currently not in the Core. IIRC is there an addon, that handles this. If I remember that module, than I will post it

I'm trying to figure out how a module could add this functionality without a modification to editcontent.php. I was looking at the event handler, and found an event that triggers on a page save, but not on a page edit.

Thanks for looking at this, I had searched through the modules available but couldn't turn up anything but I could be trying the wrong keywords. Should I make a feature request to the core?

The site owners are making noises that they really want to have the warning or lock feature. I told them it simply was not available but it might be possible to pay for this.
Do you know how paid core modifications work in the case of something like this? Professional Services mentions it is possible. Would it be integrated into the distributed core? I'd rather not have a version that diverges from the base system and be unable to upgrade it through the normal process.

I doubt that the dev team would consider this for the core, as I'm not sure it fits their vision of what the core should contain.  Would be worth a try, though.  A maintained 3rd-party module might be a better bet, if it is technically possible to do outside the core.

There is a module called Archiver, but not sure it works any more...

Dr, I don't think Archiver helps with the multiple-simultaneous-editors scenario, does it?  It's more of a protection against unintentional saves/commits.  Now that I think of it, I guess it could help a bit with multiple editors, but it really isn't designed for that situation.  (unless it has functionality I'm unaware of)

Archiver is 3/4s working with 1.9.1, it is saving the versions, you can preview them but rollback doesn't seem to work... but I digress, yes - doesn't really help with our situation when it comes to multiple editors making edits at the same time.
