    Hello to everyone.

    Im new to modx and if possible im looking for a little help.

    My problem:
    I would like to prevent multiple users working on the same document at one time, eg.user 1 and user 2 working on page1

    I have had a few problems with this as I have multiple users with the same rights.

    One person makes their changes and all of a sudden the changes are no longer there, as someone else has been working on the same document at the same time.

    My Question:
    Is there a function within modx to prevent this happening?
    If yes, where can I find it?

    Much appreciated

    ps. This forum has helped me out a lot and up till now I havent needed to post a question as everything is well explained and easy to implement
    • It should not be happening; there is a "locking" mechanism to prevent this sort of thing. Are you working from QuickEdit?

      • Are they by chance logged in with the same username / password?

          This is all being modified in the manager, I havent had anyone come back to me about frontend editing (quickedit). The quickedit is also not being used in the manager

          The rights that have been given to the users that have reported the problem are the same. They have administrator rights with full access to everything, could this be the problem.

          I have used other systems where this problem has not arisen. (contenido, mambo, typo3 etc)

          I decided to go for modx because of the clean code it outputs and along with the user interface its really easy to use and modify.
          Upto now its been perfect but this problem is a pain.
