Introducing Revisionary for WordPress
Have you ever wanted to allow certain users to submit changes to published content, with an editor reviewing those changes before publication?
Doesn't it seem like setting a published post/page to a future date should schedule your changes to be published on that date, instead of unpublishing it until that date?
The Revisionary plugin fills the missing quadrant in the WordPress content management matrix:
| Author
edit published posts edit others' posts |
Editor
edit published posts edit others' posts |
| Contributor
edit published posts edit others' posts |
Revisor
edit published posts edit others' posts |
With Revisionary in place, the meaning of the "edit_others" capability shifts to grant revision submission rights if the owner lacks the corresponding "edit_published" / "edit_private" capability.
Here's the feature overview:
- Pending Revisions allow designated users to suggest changes to a currently published post/page
- Scheduled Revisions allow you to specify future changes to published content
- Enchanced Revision Management Form
- Front-end preview display of Pending / Scheduled Revisions with "Publish Now" link
- Email notification on revision submission, approval and publishing
- Works with blog-wide WordPress Roles, or in conjunction with Role Scoper
Revisionary creates a new WordPress role defintion, "Revisor". It also enables Contributors to submit revisions to their own published content. More documentation to follow, but the following screen captures illustrate the basic process:
Revisor submits changes to a published page
Pending Revision creation notice
Email notification to designated Editors / Administrators
Administrator / Editor view: Pending Revisions in Dashboard count
Administrator / Editor view: Pending Revisions in Edit Pages listing
Administrator / Editor view: Revision Manager
Administrator / Editor view: Revision Difference Display
Administrator / Editor view: Revision Preview
This plugin release is dedicated to Jesus Christ, the only hope for peace on earth and in my heart.
Download Revisionary (or WP 2.7-2.9 version here) and let me know what you think!

Really great plugin. Any chance it could accommodate custom fields? Thanks

John, for notifications on submission of new pending posts, try Peter's Collaboration Emails.

Hi, It would be nice if emails could be sent when a revisor creates NEW content as well. (ie: new post, new page). Right now, it seems notifications are only sent when EXISTING content is modified by the revisor.
Thanks for the great plugin !

Hi Kevin,
Again my humble question: is there a way to let (some kind of) users preview a revision, without these users being able to edit?
I can't find the solution - but that is probably my limited mind 
Thanks, Kees

Hi Kevin,
As stated above, this should be default WP functionality - great work (anyone from Automattic listening?!) ! In our group of enthousiast contributors, we have people reviewing text change suggestions. HOWEVER, these people cannot review the changes made by Revisors unless they are Revisors themselves (or Editors), but we want these people to view only. Something you have thought about (as in: any suggestions to work around this topic)?
Thanks in advance, Kees.

Hi,
I really like your plugin and would love it even more if you merged it with "ICE": http://wpmu.org/the-new-york-times-develops-a-wordpress-collaboration-plugin-for-editors/

I have 1.1.9 of this plugin and the Revisor role cannot 'Preview Changes' before Submitting for review - which makes this plugin unusable, the Revisor needs to do this or how else can they see what their changes have done? I am missing something.
Thanks, Dan

Hello, a nice feature would be possibility so schedule future revision for wordpress scheduled, but no yet published posts.
That is, when we are editing already published post, we may tick a box "save as pending revision". However, when post is not published, but is already scheduled in WP for publication, this tick box is not available.
This would be very useful if we want to publish a post, and add some extra more information on the next day. Like when holing a contest, running post series or making an announcements…
Thank you if it's possible to consider feature like this.

Terrick, to send notifications to all Editors only, add this the following to wp-config.php, before the "stop editing" line:
define( 'SCOPER_MONITOR_ROLES', 'editor' );
If you are also running Role Scoper but don't want to use the customizable "Pending Revision Monitors" group, also add this:
define( 'SCOPER_DEFAULT_MONITOR_GROUPS', true );

Hi, I just want to know whether is there anyway to set the email notification to Editor but not the Administrator?

Hello. I would like to second Andreas request of being able to change the publish date with a scheduled update. My desire is to on schedule move an old post to the top of the list (without sorting all posts by last modified).

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I spent countless hours trying to limit users to editing - NOT PUBLISHING - only their specific sections. In the end, coupled with Role Scoper, this plugin worked a charm. Thanks again.
