    		 Content management is a very popular type of Web application. Many Web sites are generated automatically by content management systems that let the users publish rich text articles that are stored in the content management database.

    More advanced content management systems let multiple the users colaborate in the edition of the same article, making it possible for different users correct or update the same article after the first revision. Some even let the users list the history of revisions and compare different versions to see what changes where made. This capability is known as version control.

    This class can provide version control capabilities to content management systems that do not have such capabilities. It can successive revisions of articles in a separate table.

    This class not only supports arbitrary type article revision archive but also provides the possibility to compress the data that is stored for each revision, which denotes a reasonable level of maturity of the component.

  • Detailed description:

    This package is meant to manage archives of successive revisions of text content articles stored in a database. It enables version control of the articles in similar way to what the CVS program provides.

    It is capable of storing in a separate database table all the versions of content articles that are stored in other tables.

    This version control package makes it possible to retrieve any of the past versions of a content article, the date of each revision and the identification of the author that submitted each revision.

    The base class archives content articles that may contain a variable number of fields of arbitrary length.

    It also computes an MD5 hash of the content to verify whether the content has changed between revisions and avoids creating a new revision if nothing was changed.

    The class can retrieve one or more revisions of a content article and output the differences between two articles using the diff utility program.

    This package comes with an optional sub-class that is capable of storing and retrieving the content articles in a compressed format using the gzip library, so it can use less database table space.

    This package version requires MySQLQueryContainer package to access to the database.
