Manual Installation

To install this plugin, just download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under /your/site/grav/user/plugins. Then, rename the folder to admin-addon-revisions. You can find these files on GitHub or via GetGrav.org.

You should now have all the plugin files under

NOTE: This plugin is a modular component for Grav which requires Grav, Admin, Error and Problems to operate.

WARNING

Please make a backup before you install the plugin. This is advised to do before installing any new plugin!

Configuration

Before configuring this plugin, you should copy the user/plugins/admin-addon-revisions/admin-addon-revisions.yaml to user/config/plugins/admin-addon-revisions.yaml and only edit that copy.

Here is the default configuration and an explanation of available options:

enabled: true
directory: .revs
limit:
  maximum: 10
  older: 1 month
ignore_files: []

• directory - revisions will be stored in this folder inside the page's folder

• limit.maximum - limits the number of revisions per page (use 0 to disable)

• limit.older - limits the number of revisions per page by checking the creation date of the revision, works with any strtotime compatible string. (1 month, 2 months, 1 day, 30 days, etc.) (use 0 to disable)

• ignore_files - an array of regular expressions to ignore files when looking for changes between revisions

  In this example we ignore all png and jpg files in the test page's folder.

  /pages\/test\/(.*).png$/
  /pages\/test\/(.*).jpg$/
  

  If you want to ignore png files in all pages' folders then you can use something like this:

  /png$/
  

Usage

A Revisions link will appear in the Admin navigation sidebar. By navigating to the Revisions you can check the differences and delete/revert a specific revision.
