    Some brief apologies: I’m not sure if this is the right forum & I did a few searches but did not find anything directly related, which seemed somehow unbelievable, so I am sure I missed some good topics somewhere!

    The comment/question:
    Is there a reliable add-on that provides some sort of content revision history? It doesn’t need to be complex or infinite, just a reliable history of the last ten versions or something similar (For Evolution).

    Does anyone have any stories of good experiences with the add-ons (I found about five I think, that were vaguely viable).

    If there is nothing recommended, I will try and build a plugin that submits each page revision to a dedicated thread in a forum, perhaps as an attachment to a post with the overview of the change. Note that this will be relatively untested and built for vBulletin (as it is for a client, not my own site), but I will publish any code nevertheless.

      I think Content History is showing the most promise on our classic code base. In Revo, a proper version control system is in the roadmap and the work on the planning and data modelling has begun.

        Is that to say it is in the pipeline for Evo? I’ll happily wait for that!

          Not officially no; but anyone is welcome to contribute add-ons for this purpose for Evo. The add-on Ryan mentioned is just the most promising so far.

          It is in the pipeline for Revo 2.1.

            Sorry! What a numpty! I read "Content History" as revision control rather than the name of the add-in!

            That’s great thanks, I’ll give it a shot.

            As I said in my first post, anything I do generate I will contribute, but unfortunately it might not be applicable to everyone.

              Don’t worry, nothing is ever applicable to everyone. But I figure if whatever I contribute can at least get somebody else going in the right direction it’s well worth it.
