FuseEdit

This feature has been added to the core for 2.3.24 and can be enabled by setting $EnableMergeLastMinorEdit = 1; in config.php. If you enable the core version, please disable this recipe.

I am editing a page, and find small things to amend, one after another. I wish there was a way to make these edits without creating multiple separate history entries.

Description

Merge the latest successive minor edits from the same user.

With the recipe installed, when an editor checks the checkbox "This is a minor edit", if the previous edit was from the same person (same user name, same IP address, same browser version), then the previous "diff" is emptied and marked as "hidden", and the newly created "diff" will contain the changes since the penultimate version.

This recipe was written in order to make life easier for translators in a multi-language wiki, but can be used in other cases as well.

It is enabled on PmWiki.org, you can test it in Main.WikiSandbox.

Installation

1. Place fuseedit.phpΔ in your pmwiki/cookbook directory.
2. Add to config.php such a line:

   if($action == 'edit') {
     include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/fuseedit.php");
   }

Configuration

Only internationalization can be configured at the moment.

Internationalization

The following strings can be translated in an XLPage:

'[Edit fused with more recent]' => '[Édition fusionnée avec version plus récente]',

This is saved in the "hidden" page history entry before the edit summary typed by the user.

Usage

When you edit a page, if you want to merge your current edit with the previous one, check the checkbox "This is a minor edit".

Notes

Edits marked as "hidden" are actually hidden from the page history since 2.3.0.
