Since the Community Edition (CE) does not facilitate moving content between servers, it seems like there should be a common problem with DNN that when a user makes a change, it goes live right away.  The problem being that if there was a typo, it will be published until the user can make the change and save it again.

A 2 site system could be set up where the user makes a change on one site, checks it, then copies it to the other site.  This is still prone to error however with errors involved in moving the data between the 2 systems by hand. 

I don't think there is an elegant way to handle this across the board without the Professional Edition(PE).  Is there a good way? If anyone knows of one, please include it here.

Are there any 3rd party modules that tackle the issue of synchronizing data between two servers?

A preview state would fix this by allowing the user to see their changes and choose to keep or discard them.  I have not used any modules with preview states but have read that the HTML module from DNN contains one.

What other modules have preview states?  Is there a list somewhere?  If not, lets start one here.  It seems like a useful bit of information to have when making decisions about what modules to buy.

Hi Andy,

This has been a problem that remains unsolved in the CE, nor I find modules out there handling that. Maybe a good developer is missing the opportunity here to develop something related to that. I have this problem with many clients and I could find a good solution to synchronize servers when changes are approved.

In terms of modules that have preview state, most of the article publishing modules, like PackFlash, has a preview state before you publish an article. But it doesn't keep a live version AND a preview version. It puts the content in "preview mode", not in live mode. I don't think this solves the scenario you are talking about which seems to be having a live version and a preview version.

Cheers,

Aderson
