Question

it seems that the google doc/wiki is difficult if i code it from the zero
So, are there any kinds of api/plugin already have those code for php.
Also, how can wiki handle the parallel editing?? Say, one have update the content when the other one is updating. How can the latter one get the most updated information ????
Otherwise the updated content will be erase once the latter one submit update .

Thanks

I’m not sure about the first part of your question, but as for the parallel editing:

It seems to me that you’re basically coding a CMS system. As with most CMSs (CMSii?), you’re going to want every article to have two possible states: checked in or checked out. That way, you eliminate the possibility of 2 people working on the same article simultaneously.

So basically, in your database table that holds your article entries, you’d want a row called something like checked_out, which defaults to 0.

When an editor clicks to edit an article, your code first checks to make sure checked_out == 0. That way it knows you’re the only one working on that particular article. Then, if it does allow you to work on the article, set checked_out to 1. When you click to save/update/whatever the article, make sure it sets checked_out back to 0.

Seems like the simplest solution to me.
