-- Fork --
This module is a fork of the module http://drupal.org/project/checkout and has
been nearly completely reweritten since then
content_lock
-- SUMMARY --
This module implements a pessimistic locking strategy, which means that content
will be exclusively locked whenever a user starts editing it. The lock will be
automatically released when the user submits the form or navigates away from
the edit page.
Content locks that have been "forgotten" can be automatically released after a
configurable time span using the bundled content_lock_timeout submodule.
The purpose of this module is to avoid the situation where two people
are editing a single node at the same time. On busy sites with dynamic
content, edit collisions are a problem and may frustrate editors with
an error stating that the node was already modified and can't be
updated. This module implements a pessimistic locking strategy, which
means that content will be exclusively locked whenever a user starts
editing it. The lock will be automatically released when the user
submits the form or navigates away from the edit page.
Content locks that have been "forgotten" can be automatically released
after a configurable time span using the bundled content_lock_timeout
submodule.
