I must be missing some management tool! How can I rollback a page to a previous version? (Also, is Create Web supposed to be part of the December release, because I couldn't find it. Both seem good things to do!) Thanks!

• TWiki version: Dec 2000
• Web server: SourceForge
• Server OS: SourceForge

Answer

Rollback of a page revision: There is an undocumented command reserved for people in the TWikiAdminGroup to roll a revision back. Please read wikistore.pm and you will understand.

ScriptToCreateNewWeb: This is not yet in the TWiki core. Should make it soon though. For now it is a manual process, read TWikiInstallationGuide.

How does this translate to the Dec 2001 release? wikistore.pm doesn't exist any more and reading Store.pm doesn't really help me any further. I agree that rolling back is something that ought only be done by the admins in very special cases, but a field in the "More..." page would help...

It's now indicated at the end of file twiki/lib/TWiki.cfg

For reclaiming text (with formating) or for reverting to earlier an earlier version of a topic, using standard commands, see TWikiTopics#RevisionRollback.

It would be useful to be able to rollback your own TWiki Page. I just made a booboo in the ALLOWTOPICCHANGE variable which just allowed the user "off" to edit mypage, and locking me out. Apparently, my text size isn't large enough because I didn't read the "Use Sandbox to Test" and I neglected to see that big disclaimer: "set this to your WikiName"
