Re: [pmwiki-users] History Snapshots?
One solution can be done now with a little bit of work each month: Copy the entire pmwiki directory to a backup directory named for the month, add a line to the local config file of the backup directories to make them read-only, and add a page with links to each month. Then someone could browse the state of the wiki as of the desired month, up to one year back.

That's really awkward to use, especially if you want to look at multiple revisions view history select revert view preview (not always displayed automatically in all skins) cancel view history select a different revert view preview cancel etc This was listed as a "planned enhancement" back in 2005: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.pmwiki.user/17021/focus=17023 although by 20006 this has been changed to "when/if": http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.pmwiki.user/28573/ At least one PITS addresses the subject: http://www.pmwiki.org/PITS/00220 There are a number of other mail threads in the archives related to it. I'm very interested in being able to see the page _as_it_looked_ at any given point. I need to start looking at the code more... I should start bugging the devel-list with questions later this week. -the Other michael http://www.xradiograph.com/ Sent from John's Wireless BlackBerry StringCan iPhone On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 3:59 PM, Olle wrote: > On Monday 12 January 2009 21.07.50 Stirling Westrup wrote: >> I know this question has come up a few times in the past, but I'm unsure >> of the current state of things.

[pmwiki-users] History Snapshots?
I know this question has come up a few times in the past, but I'm unsure of the current state of things. Is there any convenient way to get some snapshots of how a page looked at different points in time? We have a page with tables on it that has undergone numerous edits, and one of my users would like to be able to see what it looked like a few months ago. Trying to visualize it from the history diffs is next to impossible. ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
