Forum OpenACS Development: Creating CrClass revisions without setting as live revision

I need to create new revisions without setting them live. This seems like a common thing to do where revisions need to be approved before going live.

Any advice on where to implement this?

I could add a parameter to CrClass save and save_new methods such as "live_p" to pass in a parameter, or create a method on CrClass to set the revision or not, and customize that method on my subtype of CrClass.

Any advantages or disadvantages to either approach?

Calling save -live_p from a subtype of ::Generic::Form doesn't work because the object is a CrCache::Item.

Class CrCache::Item
CrCache::Item instproc save {} {
set r [next]
#my log "--CACHE saving [self] in cache"
ns_cache set xotcl_object_cache [self] \
[::Serializer deepSerialize [self]]
return $r
}

and the save method does not take any args.

I am not sure what is going on there, or how to fix it. I see that save_new takes args and passes them to "next".

you are correct, this needed an update. Changed in cvs head, see as well other posting...
