1 When editing a page, it would help to have a "preview changes" or "show diff" button, which brings up a diff from the current page content to the proposed new page content. --[[JoshTriplett]]
3 Some discussion from the main [[/index/discussion]] page:
5 >It would be nice to be able to have a button to show "Differences" (or "Show Diff") when
6 >editing a page. Is that an option that can be enabled?
8 >> It's doable, it could even be done by a [[todo/plugin]], I think.
13 I need help with this. Supposedly, such a plugin would provide a `formbuilder_setup`
14 hook which would add the button, and a cgi hook which would interecept
15 "Show Diff" clicks. This would show a diff between
16 `titlepage(possibly_foolish_untaint($form->field("page")))`
17 and the provided `$form->field("editcontent")`.
21 * How could the case of concurrent editing be handled ?
22 Especially as (I think) only the RCS backend can know that
24 * Doing the formbuilder trick for adding a button needs the following
25 patch. (note that this is not the only template which has its submit
26 buttons hardcoded; is this supposed to work around something?)
27 * Coercing `editpage()` into showing the edit form again rather that
28 saving the page would be tricky and hackish to do from a module;
29 maybe this would better be implemented directly in `showpage`?
