Simple Content Versioning for Joomla!

This extension provides document version control for Joomla.  It saves a backup of every article when the content changes allowing authorized users to rollback changes to prior versions.  It then allows you to choose a prior version of a given document directly from the editor.  See the complete feature list.

Setup Instructions

Install the Simple Content Versioning Package:

com_versions_package.zip

Your system is now setup to make backup copies every time you edit a document.  To revert to a backup copy, click the button at the bottom of the WYSIWYG edtitor and pick from the resulting list of prior versions.

The above installer is all you need.  It installs the following files, which can be downloaded and installed individually if required/needed here

• com_versions:  This is the component that shows the list of content versions available for a particular document.
• plg_content_versioning:  This is the plugin that actually saves the version when you hit “Save” in the back end.
• plg_editors_xtd_versioning: This is the button that appears at the bottom of the editor which you click to access prior versions of the document you’re currently editing.
