Workflow Initiative
- 1. Workflow Initiative https://www.drupal.org/node/2721129 The session formally known as “Drupal is a CMS, So how can we better manage content?”
- 7. Multiversion
- 8. Replication
- 9. Workspace
- 11. Deploy
- 12. Revisions enabled by default https://www.drupal.org/node/2490136 We have revisions in core for Nodes and Block Content, but we don’t use them by default.
- 13. All Content entity baseFieldDefinitions should inherit from parents https://www.drupal.org/node/2707255 Most fields are manually duplicated, to reuse code and make things more flexible we should inherit fields.
- 14. NodeInterface should implement RevisionLogInterface https://www.drupal.org/node/2705433 8.1.0 introduced RevisionLogInterface. It’d be great to get revisionable entity types using it.
- 15. BlockContent should have a revision_user and revision_created field and implement RevisionLogInterface https://www.drupal.org/node/2716081 BlockContent can’t use RevisionLogInterface until it gets revision_user and revision_created fields.
- 16. Migrate entities between entity type schemas https://www.drupal.org/node/2721313 We can’t change any entity schemas until we have an upgrade path for all content within those entities.
- 17. Make all content entities revisionable https://www.drupal.org/node/2705389 Update the following entities to extend RevisionableContentEntityBase and have a revision id entity key: Comment, Feed, File, Item, MenuLinkContent, Message, Shortcut, Term, User
- 18. Revision UUID and/or hash http://www.drupal.org/node/1812202 Using a revision hash has the most advantages, but having both would also be ok.
- 19. Parent revisions Each revision can have one or more parents. This is so we can know where it stemmed from.
- 20. Deleted flag Don’t delete any entities, just create a new revision marking them as deleted.
- 21. Purging revisions Now that entities aren’t deleted we need a way to purge whole entities and individual revisions.
- 22. Trash Provide a UI for restoring and purging deleted entities.
- 23. Moderation API Underlying API to moderate revisions of content entities.
- 24. Workspace API All content entities, except the user entity type, belong to a workspace. Think of workspaces like branches in git.
- 25. UUID Index https://www.drupal.org/node/2690747 An index of UUIDs mapped to related entity information.
- 26. Revision UUID / hash Index An index of revision UUIDs / hashes mapped to related revision information.
- 27. Sequence Index Each entity update will increment a sequence ID. Here we map this to the entity and revision information of the update.
- 28. Replication services Changes – Fetch changes since a given sequence ID. RevisionsDiff – Compare what revisions are missing between workspaces.
- 29. Replication API Replicate content between two workspaces.
- 30. Conflict management API Now entities can exist in multiple workspace we need a way to resolve conflicts between them.
- 31. Experimental UI Most of the basic APIs will now be in place so we can implement an initial UI for it all.
- 32. Conflict management UI This is a complex step and feature a lot of UX work.
- 33. Workspace UI Create, manage, and switch between workspaces.
- 34. Revision moderation module This will be a new core module using the moderation API to moderation individual entities within a workspace.
- 35. Workspace moderation module This will be a new core module using the moderation API to moderation a workspace as a whole.
- 36. Cross site content staging REST API based on CouchDB for cross site content staging.
- 37. Autosave Automatically save entities while editing. Could use the REST API.
- 38. So How Was It? Evaluate this session - https://events.drupal.org/node/9192 Thanks!
