Version Control / Content Roll Back

During the project launch meeting, we discussed the possibility of having support for rollback or undo feature in content editing. At the time, I was not aware what DNN's built-in capability was so I was assigned to research this point.

And researched it I have - basically none! DNN itself has no support for it so I went looking for a module that could be added to support it. No luck there either. Some modules do version control or document management but they don't seem to be maintained.

This leaves us with the option of creating our own. It should be possible to create a text module to replace the existing undo. The existing text control can be 'swapped out' with the undo control wherever they wish to add undo support.

DNN Research

Carters Blog. Star Date... ehh never was good at starting these things, guess I'll stick to the day job of reading every last piece of literature on the web about DotNetNuke (DNN).

So yeah, thats what I've been up to today, I have square eyes from reading literally hundreds of articles, forum posts and developer guides about DNN.

I know most of what there is to know about writing searchable controls and searching across portals, sharing pages between portals, uploading files and creating thumbnailed galleries of those files.
Tommorrow, I look at whether or not it is possible to rollback page content.

And only then do I get to reap the rewards of all the research and actually get down to some development.

Looking forward to it though :)
