SID-00773: Versioning topics

Status: Answered Answered TWiki version: 4.2.0 Perl version: Unknown
Category: CategoryVersionControl Server OS: Linux Last update: 13 years ago

Hi there,

Has anyone come up with a decent approach to versioning of topics in Twiki? Or at least how to identify a baseline?

Is there an easy way to baseline a wiki page?

What I want is to be able to point people at a version of the page as it was at a point of time, including all the artefacts embeded in the page - e.g. Same page content, same diagram content, any attachements, etc.

Failing that, is there a way to pull out all the versions of diagrams that were on a page at a point in time? I was thinking I could at least provide an index of diagrams as baselined. The search function on wiki doesn't seem to provide this either though.

Thanks,

Stuart

See test above. Apparently TWiki does not refer to the proper attachment version of you look at a previous version, such as https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/SID-00773?rev=2 - which should reference attachments https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/viewfile/Support/SID-00773?filename=test-image.gif;rev=1 and https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/viewfile/Support/SID-00773?filename=test-file.txt;rev=1, respectively.

So, there is no way of browsing the past exactly as it was, including proper references to attachments. It would be a useful feature! TWiki is open source. You can get involved and contribute that feature. See ReadmeFirst to get started.

The only way I've found to do this is to periodically generate a PDF of the topic, and then auto-attach it to the topic. We use this for a team meeting page, and so we only need a snapshot taken once a week.

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!
