Any thoughts about how EE could be configured, essentially to allow “reviewing of edits”, while keeping an old version live?
I have a simple site that has about 30 entries, in 10 categories (1 weblog). I use a single template to show different pages, selecting the category to show based on {segment_2}: http://example.com/page/cat_to_show
There are two member groups, (admin and editor) one with permission to apply any status to an entry, one with access only to “closed”, which doesn’t show.
I’d like editor to be able to edit any of those existing 30 entries, which of course all have an open status, without changing the status to closed, which is what happens currently.
Possible solutions:
1. To edit an entry, the editor creates a new entry, copies/pastes from old version, admin flips statuses on both, to approve new, and archive old. Clunky.
2. editor can access a new “pending” status, which is live, but which alerts admin that it needs to be reviewed. Sub-optimal.
I think this is an advanced versioning feature that doesn’t exist. But I’m curious to have any ideas/input.
Thanks!
