several versions of a tiddler?

[Frederic ALBOU]

Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to have several version of a tiddler, with different author? (like alfresco..) Then, perhaps, the way to return to the best previous version...?
Thans a lot,
Bye

On tiddlyspace you have an option to revert to previous versions from
a revisions list:
http://docs.tiddlyspace.com/#[[Can%20two%20people%20change%20a%20space%20at%20the%20same%20time%3F]]
Example: http://docs.tiddlyspace.com/bags/docs_public/tiddlers/ColorPalette/revisions
There's a diff handler to help generate the correct version of a
tiddler.

If you want to be able to revert to previous versions of a tiddler in
a "stand alone TW" (no server backend) there's Eric's UndoPlugin:
http://tiddlytools.com/#UndoPlugin
It "records changes to tiddlers edited during the session, allowing
you to quickly revert to previous revisions of a tiddler, even after
pressing 'done'."

There's no multi-user revision handler available for "stand alone TW"
- I'm afraid.

Hi Måns,
Thanks for your answer... :-) I'm going to install Eric's UndoPlugin but I don't see "undo button" when I edit a tiddler modified... Could you explain this please?
And I don't see "TBD documentation"... :-/ Where is it please?
Thanks a lot,
Cheers, Frédéric.

Edit ToolbarCommands: Insert undoChanges as a tool.
Insert command anywhere with <<toolbar undoChanges>>

TBD: To Be Done....

Notice that Eric writes this about the status of his plugin:

"Experimental - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE"

- which I guess means something like: "I won't give support for this
plugin - if you're having trouble with it ... "

It's been available with this status since May 17th 2011.
I've been using it since it was distributed on tiddlytools.com - and I
haven't had any problems with it.

Hi Frederic,

You could also just create a number of tiddlers that tag to the one you want different versions of and add the Author at the end, e.g.:

SomeTiddler
SomeTiddler (Fred) ...tagged SomeTiddler
SomeTiddler (Eric) ...tagged SomeTiddler

But then, merging anything back into the main tiddler may become more and more difficult. However, if you keep a tiddlers scope (=content / length / # of topics) at bay then this may well be a managable workflow.

Cheers, Tobias.

Wonderful, it works :-) Thanks you very much, Måns...
I am also going to try what propose Tobias.. Thanks !
Cheers, Frederic.
