Re: [pmwiki-users] Help/advice: How to "archive" a page and delete the old page

Hi Peter,

Could you expand a bit more on:

"Why not just make the change via fox (or whatever form processor) and allow the built-in history capabilities of pmwiki handle the "archive" functionality?"

If you mean the "History" Tab -  yes this shows/retains the edits - but it is not in a nice easily readable format to the user, whereas the Profile page itself is neatly formatted.
The "users" of these wiki pages are largely "readers" of the information rather than editors/authors - so I wanted something quite simple for them.

Could you elaborate a little more? perhaps your form that you mention is the answer?

Thanks

Graham

On occasions it is needed to change the Customer profile information
(address/contact details etc).
When this happens I want the user  to be able to "archive" the old page for
reference/audit purposes.
I would like all the information in old Customer profile to move to an
archive group and the old profile deleted from the existing group.

I can give you a quick wikish form which would make a copy of the page
with a different name or whatever, but I really think what you are
looking for already exists...
