Hi all,
Is there a way to make changes to a existing article and show the changes when the editor publishes?
Many customers are asking for that function.

Hi Maurice,
There isn't a publishing system built into CMS Builder, but you could create something custom to create this effect.
This easiest method would be to have two WYSIWYG editors in the articles section. One for editing content, and a second one for live content. You could edit content in the first WYSIWYG editor, then when it is ready to publish, copy and paste it into the second WYSIWYG editor. Then on your site, you would only display content from the second editor. It would also be relatively simple to create a 'publish' plugin, that has a button that would move content from the first to the second WYSIWYG editor using jquery.
Another method would be to have a second hidden section that is identical to your articles section, and is used to store live content. Then create a plugin that is used to copy content from the first section to the live section when the user checks a publish check box. Your site would then only display records from the live section.
We could create this plugin for you if you required.If you send an e-mail to consulting@interactivetools.com, we can give you an estimate of the cost.
Thanks!
