Hello, I was thinking about disabling the "draft" system in ez, mainly because for a common user logging in a site it's not obvious nor easy to use a system that track down several drafts of his account. So what can I do to make it more "old style", I mean click, modify save and nothing more?

You cant disable the draft system but you can tweak it a little.

In site.ini this setting will ensure that when you edit you wont see the draft screen:

[ContentSettings]
EditDirtyObjectAction=usecurrent

However, if you dont want the sitewide application of this setting try in content.ini to adjust the number of allowable drafts:

[VersionManagement]
DefaultVersionHistoryLimit=10
VersionHistoryClass[1]=5

Alter VersionHistoryClass to the class you need.

Note: you need at least 2 versions. Putting 1 will produce errors.

Exactly what I was looking for, using the last one. Thanks

Thanks Paul,

I always look for that EditDirtyObjectAction in content.ini, where it should be IMO.

For future references: the setting to improve the content management and avoid the message none of my users understand about a " This object is already being edited" is in site.ini .
