Display an alert to authors when they attempt to edit an entry in ExpressionEngine which is currently being edited by another author.

Too Many Cooks displays a prominent alert to authors when they attempt to edit an entry in ExpressionEngine which is already being edited by another author, hiding the form submission buttons in the process. The add-on polls at short intervals on each open entry screen to assess when the first person who opened the entry either completed their work and saved the entry, or abandoned the entry without saving. It then informs the second author when the coast is clear in near realtime, on-screen, instructing them to reload the entry in order to view the most current content.

Hooks Used

If the add-on is an extension, and ties into ExpressionEngine's core files, it will use ExpressionEngine hooks. We are listing any hooks the add-on uses for developers to have an easier time locating other add-ons that they can reference for their own work.

  1. publish_form_entry_data
