Overview

Revision Timeline is a plugin module for the Workbench Moderation module. Revision Timeline adds a new view which shows a more social list of changes a node has had.

Features

All from one easy-to-understand page:

  • View all revisions of a piece of content
  • Quickly be able to discern their state
  • See which fields were edited
  • See exact taxonomy, image, and file attachment changes
  • Link to diff (diff module)
  • Link to unpublish the content

Requirements

Drupal 7.x
Workbench Moderation

Installation

  1. Install and enable the Workbench Moderation module.
  2. Install and enable the Revision Timeline module.
  3. Installation is complete!

Using Revision Timeline

Every node with Workbench Moderation enabled on it will automatically get a link to their revision timeline added (found at node/NID/timeline). Navigating to this page gives you the revision timeline view.

Custom fields

Revision timeline is ready for your custom functionality! Different hooks are called to allow you to add or edit the timeline and it's output. This means that if you have custom fields, it should be relatively easy to hook in to the module and give it the output you want.

Upcoming changes

  • Rework of how some of the fields logic works to make it easier to plug in to

Use Case

This module, and Workbench Moderation, are mainly used for websites with lots of contributors to content. Revision timeline is used when it is useful to quickly discern when a change was made to a piece of content, or what the most recent changes are.
