Avoid 2 users editing the same page at the same time?

By Frank Steiner on 24 Apr 2008 at 15:10 UTC

Hi,

how can I avoid that two users start editing a page and the changes that are published first get lost when the second user publishes his changes?

Is there way to lock a page when a users edits it and tell the second user "User xy is currently editing this page"?

cu,
Frank

From what I can tell, the node is locked in that the second edit will not be saved, but you're looking for the second person to see some notification that the node is being edited before spending time him/herself editing it, right?

Thank you!
Exactly the module we need, just that there is no 6.x version yet. I hope they will release one soon...

The discussion mentions a patch to get it to work with HEAD. Try that. It might just work now.

Unfortunately, drupal 6.2 tells the module is incompatible, so it can't be used :-(
