Need to look more into content versioning as well as publication management.

Anyone know a good tutorial, blog, guide, etc. that goes into detail on setup, use, cutomization and anything else I might need to know about it?

Our clients are asking more and more about these features and I have only minimal information to work from.

Versioning in DotNetNuke is confined (at least I think that it is) to the Text/HTML module.

There are a number of modules that are intended to support "publishing." Two that I have used are Ventrian's News Articles module and Engage's Publish. Of these, Publish has versioning. I find News Articles to be more flexible and easier to configure. There are others.

Is there any way to remove/clear the previous versions history in DotNetNuke 5.1.4?

Many thanks

There is not a UI to do it.

You can go to a particular Text/HTML module, View History, and delete individual items.

You other choices are figuring out how to do this with SQL (I'd be careful as there may be lnked/related tables) or do it in a custom module. You could look at how this is done in the Text/HTML module.

"You can go to a particular Text/HTML module, View History, and delete individual items. "

There doesn't seem to be the option to delete individual items in DNN 5.1.4.

Would anyone be able to detail on how to remove/clear Version History for the HTML Module another way or with SQL?

Thanks

It should be a moderately simple upgrade from 5.6.2. I don't have an installation of 5.1.4, so I cannot check.

Oh ... there will soon be a Version 5.6.3 and it will be a strongly recommended upgrade. There are some major security issues and bugs that have been fixed since that version of DotNetNuke was released, and it's also true for the 5.6.3 release.

thanks for the info but cant upgrade at the moment. 5.1.4 doesn't include the icon option to delete history/versions

In that case, you'll need to do this in SQL.

Note that I haven't worked this out completely and haven't tested it. In any case, do your experimentation using a copy of the database. Ideally, make a complete copy of the site, install it locally, and do your work there. When you have everything to your satisfaction, you can move it back to production ...

Look at the HTMLText table. The important fields are ModuleID and Version. It looks like, for each ModuleID you want to delete all versions except the last one. I don't think that this is linked to any other tables.

Okay great i'll try to run some tests.
Thank you for the info.
