Hi,

Never seen such an extension. It is not native.

I think that reset a version number should be quite hard for database... Think that linked content should not work anymore if version is changed, for example...

The version number for a content is used by a lot of other things in eZpublish : correction should be huge for this. I think it's a bad idea.

Best regards,

The way you wrote it I thought you wanted to go back to version 1, which could be quite troublesome as version one is a bit special, some internal logic could reference this value, etc... If you just want to cut down on version amount, there's a setting for that:

Never heard of completely switching version control off, though.

Hi Satheesh

go into content.ini and there to

# Define maximum versions can be managed. Use syntax
# VersionHistoryClass[class_id]=maximum_nr to specify value for particular
# classes. Otherwise, the value of DefaultVersionHistoryLimit will be used.
[VersionManagement]
DefaultVersionHistoryLimit=10
VersionHistoryClass[1]=5

and change the
DefaultVersionHistoryLimit=10

to 2, smaller is not possible because of versions.php and 3 more files in ezp4

$versionlimit = $contentINI->variable( 'VersionManagement', 'DefaultVersionHistoryLimit' );

    $limitList = $contentINI->variable( 'VersionManagement', 'VersionHistoryClass' );

    $classID = $object->attribute( 'contentclass_id' );
    foreach ( array_keys ( $limitList ) as $key )
    {
        if ( $classID == $key )
            $versionlimit = $limitList[$key];
    }
    if ( $versionlimit < 2 )
        $versionlimit = 2;

You need minimum one published and one draft version = 2

Please tell us your experience, if you change it to 2.

Ekkehard,
We have some sites running 2-setting, someone else has implemented it so I can't share details right away, but what would you like to know?
