Content Revision Component

Dont loose your content ever, enable the power to see whos changing content on your site and you can see what they have changed easly. This is basically version control on your joomla content. This Component will manage the following : Log each change made to content in the Articles Manager. Allow you to revert back to any previous version as all changes are logged after the install is complete. View the changes made from the Entry Of Content Change, with a "before" change view - and an "after" change view - and a "differences" between changes view. Manage Basic Content Revision and monitor who is changing what. Flag changes as approved by the archive feature for the revisions listed in the List All View.

I was impressed enough by the demo of this component to go and buy it.

However, upon installation in Joomla 1.5.6 I am presented with this message after installation:

"This component will not be active until you replace the default core Joomla file content controller file."

"...Overwrite the core joomla content file with the new controller file that is now stored in com_contentrevision"

Firstly, this component appears to require a core hack.
Secondly, the controller file versions supplied only go up to Joomla 1.5.5.

I'd hold off buying this until you've done your homework (like I should have).

I just bought that tool and installed it and
it's exactly what I looked for.
It logs all user changes and store a copy of the changed
artictle!
It was very easy to install - you only need to install and overwrite the controller.php and... voilá - there it is!
Perfect! Thanks for that great tool!
My customers are so happy, because sometimes the don't know,
who changed what article and now they can check it.

What a great component, does exactly what it says. I must admit that this is a must have if your website has many different Authors
and your content needs to be well controlled.
I love the feature that allows you too see the before and after changes plus the differences and the fact that you can see which user has changed what within the content,
makes this component very powerful.
I would not mind seeing something like this in the standard Joomla install.

This component did exactly what it said out of the box, no configuration problems no installation problems - everything runs smoothly!!

I have to say not many components do exactly what they say but this one does, i'm using it on 3 sites at the moment and no problems so far...

I had a question before buying the product - emailed them and got an answer within the hour...

Great stuff Guys!!
