WP allows two people to open the same document at the same time using the online WYSIWYG editor? That's scary. Maybe something ought be added to see if more than one person has a post or page open for editing, and if so, not allow -- or allow "read-only" mode -- to the person trying to open the document while it is already open.
We are using Windows Live Writer for content creation and editing for a new site. There are about 20 people working on the site live at any time, and around 40 people involved in the total project. We've found several times, and now have it noted in our Intranet notes, that if someone has an item (page or post) open in Windows Live Writer, that the post cannot be opened using the WP editor (GUI, not sure about the code-only version, but that should respond the same way). I did find a workaround, as there have been several times where I was working remotely, but not on any of my laptops or desktops, and once, from a friend's house. At my friend's house, since I didn't have access to Windows Live Writer, I hit REFRESH several times in IE and the page reloaded, gave an error (I forget it at the moment), but after two of three refreshes, you can view the content. As Alex noted, I will just reiterate: I wouldn't suggest making any changes in this mode, as it's likely you will not make changes, and possibly screw up things for the person who is doing real work in another location. -- -dave PGP Public Keys: http://scoop0901.net/PGP/PgPkEyS.htm Verify email with digital signatures, or encrypt for privacy while offering job security to crackers at NSA, DHS, and TIA! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Dave Jackson Philadelphia, PA http://blog.scoop0901.net | "A journalist's job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict | the comfortable." -Finley Peter Dunne (1867-1936) | (c) 2008 by Dave Jackson (Scoop0901).
