Overview

Powerful Collaboration Tools Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – With great power does not have to come great complexity. Based on a simple philosophy of putting powerful but intuitive tools in the hands of managers and content creators, WP Document Revisions leverages many of the essential WordPress features that, for more than eight years, have been tested and proven across countless industries — posts, attachments, revisions, taxonomies, authentication, and permalinks — to make collaborating on the creation and publication of documents a natural endeavor. Think of it as an open-source and more intuitive version of the popular Microsoft collaboration suite, Sharepoint.

Document History Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – At each step of the authoring process, WP Document Revisions gives you an instant snapshot of your teamÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s progress and the documentÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s history. It even gives you the option to revert back to a previous revision — so donÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t fret if you make a mistake — or receive updates on changes to the document right in your favorite feed reader.

Access Control Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Each document is given a persistent URL (e.g., yourcompany.com/documents/2011/08/TPS-Report.doc) which can be private (securely delivered only to members of your organization), password protected (available only to those you select such as clients or contractors), or public (published and hosted for the world to see). If you catch a typo and upload a new version, that URL will continue to point to the latest version, regardless of how many changes you make.

Enterprise Security Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Worried about storing propriety or sensitive information? WP Document Revisions was built from the first line of code with government- and enterprise-grade security in mind. Each file is masked behind an anonymous 128-bit MD5 hash as soon as it touches the server, and requests for files are transparently routed through WordPressÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s time-tested URL rewriting, authentication, and permission systems (which can even integrate with existing enterprise active directory or LDAP servers). Need more security? WP Document Revisions allows you to store documents in a folder above the htdocs or public_html web root, further ensuring that only those you authorize have access to your work.

Customization Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – WP Document Revisions recognizes that no two teams are identical, and as a result, molds to your firmÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s needs, not the other way around. Need to track additional information associated with a document? Departments, editors, issues, sections, even arbitrary key-value pairs — whatever you can throw at it, it can handle. Development and customization costs are further minimized by its extensive plugin API, and the WordPress Custom Taxonomy Generator makes it easy for even the uninitiated to add custom taxonomies to documents. Need an audit trail to track check-ins and check-outs? User-level permissions based on the documentÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s state or another custom taxonomy? Support for third-party encryption? Check out the WP Document Revisions Code Cookbook for sample code. Looking for even more advanced control of your workflow? WP Document Revisions will detect the popular workflow plugin Edit Flow, if installed, and will automatically pull Edit Flow’s advanced workflow management tools into WP Document Revisions. Simply put, virtually every aspect of the pluginÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s functionality from workflow states to user-level permissions can be fully customized to your teamÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s unique needs.

Future Proof Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Switching costs a concern? WP Document Revisions is built with tomorrowÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s uncertainty in mind. Equally at home in an in-house server room as it is in the cloud, moving individual files or entire document repositories in and out of WP Document Revisions is a breeze (history and all). And since the software is open-source, you can easily add tools to automate the process of moving to or integrating with future third-party systems.

Thank you for the recent update so that itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s now compatible with latest versions of PHP. Great plugin, super useful, grateful it exists!

Ben Balter has put together a solid plugin that does a good job of maintaining documents for your WP install. The plugin works well, and functions as described. The plugin also has filter and action hooks which allow developers to integrate with the plugin without hacking it. It is also translation ready, something that a plugin must have for wide adoption. A five star plugin must be not only usable but flexible. WP Document Revisions meets that qualification. I hope Ben continues his ongoing development. ItÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s good to see WP coding standards being implemented. Would be good to see more inline documentation for hooks, but that doesnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t affect functionality at all so itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s more of a want than a need. This is a good plugin with some good features. Unfortunately, there are some very old reviews that donÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t paint an accurate picture. Anytime you read a review, look at its age and compare that to the plugin (or themeÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s) current development. In this case, there has been active development in the time since some of the older reviews were written (and in my opinion, some of those other reviews are simply not justified).

4.0.6

  • Fix description field hidden in classic editor after 4.0.4: #postdivrich (the TinyMCE visual editor) was incorrectly added to the CSS display:none rule intended only for the HTML text tab (#postdiv).
  • Fix revision summary box not appearing: removed CSS display:none on #revision-summary since JavaScript already manages its visibility; the stale CSS rule prevented it from appearing when TinyMCE failed to initialise.

4.0.5

  • Fix PHP fatal error in suppress_adjacent_doc() when WordPress passes $excluded_terms as a string instead of an array.
  • Fix PHP fatal error in image_downsize() when WordPress passes $id as a string instead of an int.

4.0.4

# Security

  • Fix authentication bypass in revision feed key validation (validate_feed_key()) where $wpdb->get_var() returning NULL was treated as a successful match.
  • Fix variable shadowing in validate-structure REST correct_document() (code 4) that could overwrite the post_content of an unrelated post.
  • Add per-document capability checks to Abilities API endpoints override-document-lock and get-document-revisions.
  • Sanitize the revision query var (absint()) before concatenation into the Content-Disposition filename header in serve_file().

4.0.3

# Bug Fixes

  • Restore plugin banner image for WordPress.org plugin page
  • Add required == Description == section header to readme.txt

4.0.2

# Bug Fixes

  • Fix WordPress Playground blueprint.json path and schema for WordPress.org Live Preview

4.0.1
