    Specify number of saved versions

    hello,

    Where can i set how many versions umbraco should keep for a content page (rollback versions).

    Is there any way to specify this without an installation of an external plugin?

    Otherwise the database will become bigger and bigger.

    We are using umbraco 4.7.2

    Thanks

    Hi Dominik

    There is currently no way to specify this without installing a package for it.

    However Matt Brailsford has created UnVersion, which should be able to deal with your demands.

    Hope this helps.

    HI Jan,

    I got some errors once I was using this plugin with umbraco 4.7.2.

    Is there any sql script i can use for a weekly or monthly job?

    I think this would be a good way without installing a 3rd party plugin

    THanks

    Hi Dominik

    I suppose there is some SQL that can be run but I would not know how to create such a script I must admit :)

    What errors did you get? And were you in touch with Matt about it?

    Hi Jan,

    I uninstalled this plugin some weeks ago because it has created some funny stuff since we updated to 4.7.2

    Is there no other way to stop umbraco to create 10000 backups of each file?

    Is there really anybody who needs a content change of all of the last years?

     

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Dominik

    Could you be a bit more specific about the errors? Perhaps there is a simple solution :)

    I'm sure some clever SQL could take care of the task but unfortunately I don't have the skills to write some SQL that I would be proud to share with anyone. I hope some of the other clever minds in here will chime in if they have a good solution.

    Wether or not a client has the need to be able to see previous version depends on the type of client. In Denmark municipalities should always be able to make a rollback to what information a given page contained on any given date. It's demanded by law.

    But I agree that for many clients it would be sufficient to have the option to rollback to one of the 5 latest versions.

    I know this does not solve your current issue but if you feel this should be handled in the core I think you should create a feature request on the issue tracker http://issues.umbraco.org/issues/U4

    HI Jan,

    Thanks for you answer

    There were a lot of error entries within umbracoLog table once we have installed unversion with umbraco 4.7.2

    After uninstalling this plugin the error entries are not shown any more.

    This is the reason why we do not want to install it again. 

    As we are facing a lot of issues with plugins everytime we upgrade to a newer umbraco version we are trying to install not so many different plugins.
