Hi,
Is there someone who can explain the 'force checkin' behaviour, as noted
in the revisioncontroller description:
"A user "System" exists, who can force internally a checkin"
(http://lenya.apache.org/1_2_x/components/revisioncontrol/revisioncontroller.html):
I would like to be able to check in files that are checked out and left
by editing ussers, something that seems to be possible. Couls someone
give me a hint?
A solution is described in the lenya-wiki:
http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/HowToDefaultPublicationUsefulChanges?highlight=%28Useful%29
Checked-out pages have been an often quoted problem for our users too.
Therefore I made a somewhat different solution.
It is also a "forcecheckin" usecase wihin our publications including a new
action (ForcedCheckInAction).
It simple checks wheter a node is really checked-out, get the user who
checked the page out and the respective check-out date.
The new user who wants to edit this page gets a "warning" screen saying
that the page is already checked out by another user xy at 12.12.2999
12:20.Then he has the possiblity to check the page in (or to cancel of course).
We made the usecase available only in the site area. That means everbody
who can access the node in the site area might check in the page.
If this solution is of interest for you i can document it on the wiki too.
