Content publishing workflow when changing web part's properties
Hello,
I've been playing with the CMS for a while and discovered that I would like to create different web parts and make them editable via their properties so the user wouldn't be able to edit anything in the edit mode - they will need to configure webparts.
But. In this case I found out that those changes go straight to live! Is there any way to configure this, so when we change any web parts properties will would need to publish the page to push the changes live?

Thank you

RE:Content publishing workflow when changing web part's properties
Why wouldn't you control the user edits using the roles and permissions?

You will want to look at some of the webparts like EditableImage, EditableContent for examples, but the methods I have overridden to do this were LoadContent, and GetContent methods of the webpart.

Regards,

Jeffrey

Thanks for the response.
I just don't like the idea of inline editing the content because it may look messy and confusing for the end user in some cases. But I guess I'll have to do that and just get used to it.
Cheers

Hello,


We plan versioning of web parts to the version 6.0 (Roadmap). We are also plannning the workflow and check-in/check-out but cannot promise it will be included in the version 6.0, too.


Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
