Hi,

I understand CMS_MODERATOR is depreciated but is there a workaround that anyone has used to get back preview and publish?  If you make the mistake of changing anything via /admin/cms/page you wipe any changes you made via the front-end.   Also any changes made to the front-end instantly appear live even before hitting publish.

We have 2 client sites due to go live in the coming weeks so this is a big problem for us :(

We're using:
 
Django==1.4.1
South==0.7.6
django-cms==2.3.3
django-mptt==0.5.2

CMS_MODERATOR is set to True and we've run the 'cms moderator on' command (http://docs.django-cms.org/en/2.3/getting_started/configuration.html#cms-moderator)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob

You don't have to update your cms version, if you have a working site just leave it as is. You can always install older versions through pip, so its not a big deal.

Unfortunately the moderator issue went unnoticed and the sites are too far along in development so downgrading the CMS is not a option.

2.4 is intended to have a "revert draft to public" feature, so once that's finished you should be able to run that on the whole site to bring the versions in sync. I'm having the same issue.

Thanks Jonas, 2.4 sounds great.

Out of interest how do you currently handle simple preview / publish on your sites?

We don't. And that's the problem.

In practice, we see our clients simply copying pages and work on the unpublished copy. Then switch the published flag. This leads to *REALLY* ugly urls like /home/about-us-copy-copy-copy-copy/. I don't want to see any such URLs anymore.
