Question

Hi,

I'd like to know how to show one of the old revisions rather than the newest one since sometimes I find that the newest is not correct or applicable. For example,there're such revisions:

r9>r8>r7....>r1. It's I who create this topic but r9 is edited by another person. I found r9 is not a good one. So I want to display r8 and even delete r9.

How can I do that in Twiki?

Thanks, Erming PEI

ALERT! If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

  1. The easiest way is to copy the text from the raw view of r8 and paste it as the current version :-). See RevertToPreviousRevision.
  2. That same document says, "An administrator can also roll back a revision. This should be used with care and must not be abused or users would lose the trust in the system. See specifics at the end of the twiki/lib/TWiki.cfg file". I'm curious how to do that too, but that's an old posting and that file doesn't seem to exist any more.
  3. If this is a frequent occurrence or business requirement, you might want to review the various workflow plugins. I haven't tried the specific ones myself, but workflow usually involves an approval process on content before it is widely accessible.
