Overview

Multi-User Editing Alert

Alerts users in the SilverStripe CMS when multiple people are editing the same page.

Maintainer Contact

Julian Seidenberg

Requirements

SilverStripe 4.0 or newer

Installation

Run: composer require silverstripe/multiuser-editing-alert

The module is automatically enabled after flush=all.

Usage

Install the module and blue dots appear next to pages in the site tree to indicate where CMS authors are editing. If multiple authors edit the same page a red dot and large warning messages appears on the page.

The list of people editing the page is stored in the SS_Cache file (DynamoDB in SilverStripe Platform or Tmp), and running a flush clears the list of editors.

The module polls the server every 3 seconds when there are multiple users editing, but saves server cycles by polling about every 24 seconds when there is just a single content author editing. If a user logs out or closes their tab, they automatically get timed out and removed from the list of current editors.

You can just the timing of the pollings using the multiuser.yml config file. For example, if there are a huge amount of content authors editing at any one time, you might want to set update less frequently, as that might overload the server.

Extra bonus: the red and blue dots are SVG files, and therefore tiny to download.

    Please tag the the SVG path resolution

    Hi

    Could you please tag the change adding "vendor" to the SVG paths in master @ https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-multiuser-editing-alert/commit/1be74a23c9c060d13bf1ed5e2da6a81a117ed010#diff-fac4cdfd4096f52540df16ed2c97b684

    I'm using v2.0 in an SS4.1 project with a public/ directory on a project and the paths aren't resolving.

    This may affect people using ~2.0 without a public directory so maybe a 3.0 tag is needed?

    Thanks James

    Stop triggering USER_ERRORs when user is logged out

    Currently if the user is logged out while still having an admin window open the code triggers a user error.

    This code change returns false instead and doesn't update things.

    SVG path fix => 2.0

    The SVG paths fix was merged into master on 20 Jun 2018 but it hasn't been merged into 2.0 yet. This is a small bugfix and shouldn't require any version bump.

  • Updating warning message instead of rebuilding dom

    Updating warning message instead of rebuilding dom

    Instead of destroying the warning message dom elements every 4 seconds this updates just the warning message.

    First the warning is hidden. Then it is checked if the warning should display. If it should be displayed we show the warning. We then update the warning message string.

    This stops the warning from blinking when the user is hovering it.

  • Stop triggering USER_ERRORs when no user logged in

    Stop triggering USER_ERRORs when no user logged in

    Instead of triggering user errors when no user is logged in and tries to access the editing controller, better to just return a permissions failure and catch this nicely in the CMS (display the authentication modal).

  • Stop entire tooltop from being hoverable when hidden.

    Stop entire tooltop from being hoverable when hidden.

    Display: none would stop the animation Height: 0 would also require altering padding z-index stacking prevents using that option

    Pushing the item left out of the viewport seems to be the most robust solution in this case outside of moving to a JS solution.
