Tell someone to go to the url .../versionobj/enter
This will set a cookie.
Then when they view the website, they will see the website that's in the
version.
they should go to .../versionobj/leave
Some other miscellaneous notes on Versions...
The behaviour of Versions is something like using RCS with everyone
checking out the code into a different workspace. That is, only one
person can be modifying any particular object at a time. You can also
only be looking at, or working in, one Version at a time.
A couple of questions I have:
Is it possible to get a list of all objects modified in a Version?
Is it possible to revert changes for a particular object only, rather
than save/discard all changes for a Version?
On a vaguely related note, has anyone thought about doing something
with XML Export files and diff? It would be kinda cool to be able to
take 2 daily XML export files, and produce a tree structure listing
changed objects...
