About the "Versions" system ?
Permalink
Hi all !
I like pretty much the "Versions" system that makes the updates very safe and I have 2 questions :
1 - Is it possible to reset the automatic counter of the versions number ? Will it go to 99 and restart to zero ?
2 - Is it possible to momentarily disable the function if for example, we work on a trial site and do a lot of updates and testing ?
Thank you for your help !

versions appear to be limited to:
4,294,967,295.
4,294,967,295.
4,294,967,295 ! so at least we cannot complain the system is limited :-)
Thanks Guys !
Thanks Guys !
i'm gonna have to do a better job with typos... i'll hit that in no time! ;)
Hi. I am curious if there is a way to automate the cleanup of old versions?
I can manually clean a page by going into edit mode, click on Versions, check "Old versions" and then "Remove."
...but it would be great if I could either set an "aging" parameter to purge during a cron maintenance job, or be able to click a button to "purge all old versions."
Is there already a way to do this?
Loving Concrete the more I use it. Thanks for a great system!

While I applaud your effort to keep a clean house, I generally advise people to just leave old versions around. Unless you're running the largest of sites (millions of pages) this isn't even going to register on the performance radar, and any time you delete anything in any system you are introducing some risk of something funky happening..
I am using concrete5 v 5.6.3.3. In the Statistics Recent Activity, it shows the total page versions for the site as 539. What does that mean? I only keep the current version plus one for comparison, and our site only has 81 pages. My trash has 20 pages. Thanks!
539 / 81 = 6.7 versions per page.
Each time you save an edit, a new version is created and retained. But only the latest is shown. That is so you can change your mind about an edit and go back.
The remove old versions job trims this to a maximum of 10 per page. So if you are running that job, some pages may have as many as 10 versions, while others perhaps have been rarely edited and only have 1 or 2.
If you really want to clean out old versions, my Extreme Clean addon job will remove all old versions for all pages (use it with care).

I keep the page versions to one or two after the page is finalized. It does look like there are 6.7 versions per page, but there isn't - at leas not any in the list. I am cleaning the site this week and was wondering if there was something I was missing. It doesn't sound lethal! Thanks.
uhh, do they die at 99 or something? can't honestly say i've made 100 versions of a page to test.. that label is just what is done by defualt if you dont make a comment..
