Hi everybody,

I would like to save what I am doing on my portal but not publish the change right now.

I mean, for exemple, I'm writing something in an existing TextHtml Module but I don't want to publish it for the moment. I think it would be great to have the choice of saving the informations for later.

Also, it would be great to join this with the Start and End Date. I mean, for exemple, when you go for holidays, you could make all the change of text and decide to publish it at another date!!

I know I can find some "solutions" with using 2 modules in the same time and use the right of visibility or "play" with the date but it's "heavy" if I only have to change 3-4 word in the text.

I know that some other portals have this function. What do you think about this function?

Thans for answers.

William

have a look into the module settings, there are optional settings for start and end date.

Hi Leupold,

Thank you for your answer but it's not what I'm looking for.

For exemple, when you write an email in Outlook, you can save your email for later and continue to write it at another time before send it. I would like to find the same thing for DNN. I would like to have the possibility to save some modification of an existing module and continue the work later.

And for the Start date, that's what I explain in the first post whith the exemple of holidays.

Do you know if somebody have worked on it? Or is it plan in a future release of DNN?

I hope I've been more clear. Perhaps my english is too bad...

Please ask me if you don't understand my post.

Thanks

William

I think you're looking for a kind of publishing workflow, that allows you to save a module's content at one time and publish it later.

I'm looking forward to this feature, too. What I would need is a publishing workflow that enables a kind of  general content moderation like in the forums - all new content must be approved by an editor before it is published. Also I'd like to have the ability to track content changes that lets me revert to older versions of the module if necessary.

Well, wishes over wishes... but it's still long 'til next Christmas! Workflow and versioning features have been discussed already in the forums. Serach the forums for "workflow" and "versioning" to find related posts.

The roadmap says there are workflow / versioning features in the design phase, but the link on the roadmap page does not lead anywhere at the moment, so I don't know when these features are going to be released.

In the meantime, you may have a look at the Text/HTML workflow module or the Enterprise Forms. I haven't tested them so far, but maybe one of these fits your needs!

you can use permission to hide the module (or page) from public viewing before it is ready. Besides, there is a new extended text/HTML module from www.effority.net, that has workflow capacities (available for free!).
