SwitchToAndFromDraft

Description

Put a link in the SideBar or PageActions so authors can easily switch to and from a -Draft version of a page.

Procedure

Put this in a local configuration file (config.php):

## Enable (:if enabled EditDraft:) for a page that has a -Draft version and
## (:if enabled PageIsDraft:) with {$DraftBaseName} page variable for -Draft pages.
$pagename = ResolvePageName($pagename);
if (CondAuth($pagename, 'edit')) {
  if (PageExists($pagename.'-Draft')) { $EditDraft = TRUE; }
  if (preg_match('/-Draft$/', $pagename)) { $PageIsDraft = TRUE;
    $draftbasename = preg_replace("/-Draft\$/", '', $pagename);
    $FmtPV['$DraftBaseName'] = "'$basename'";
    # $HTMLStylesFmt['isdraft'] = " /* Custom CSS for draft page */ ";
  }
}

Then you can use markup like this in the sidebar:

(:if enabled EditDraft:)
[-([[{*$FullName}-Draft | View draft ]])-]
(:if enabled PageIsDraft:)
[-([[{*$DraftBaseName} | View published ]])-]
(:if:)

Another possibility is to use this in Site.PageActions:

(:if enabled EditDraft:)
* %item              class=browse    %[[{*$FullName}-Draft | View Draft ]]
(:if enabled PageIsDraft:)
* %item              class=browse    %[[{*$DraftBaseName} | View Published ]]
(:if:)

Notes

PmWiki 2.2 beta57 appears to have a bug that disables the Publish button. A workaround might be to add

or possibly
