CMS Made Simple Forums

I am trying to edit the cmsms code so that somebody can edit an existing page and save it unpublished for approval at a later date.

I have added a save button next to submit, apply and cancel in editcontent.php that when clicked stores the content in a new table called content_props_temp. If I click submit or apply the content is stored in the content_props table and the existing entry is overwritten. Basically, I have two tables, content_props that stores the content shown on the front end and content_props_temp that stores edited content before it is approved and published. So far, so good.

When somebody attempts to edit a page they should see the most recent version displaying unpublished edits and not the version that is being displayed on the front end. This is where I am having a problem. I can't seem to work out how to load the content from content_props_temp on the back end while keeping the content for the front end loading from content_props.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

I may be able to take a look at this if you'd please post your code so far. I'm also interested in setting up approval like this.

New workflow capabilities in CMSMS 1.1 ( once it is completed) should make this possible without code hacking.

I would have replyed sooner but I was not notified of a reply to this thread.

I did get this sorted although it isn't as efficient as it could be. I will dig through the files to find the edits I made.
