It is definitely possible to limit which users the extension is enabled for. It shouldn't take me more than 15-20min to add that.

I was using wordpress today and I noticed the message they show when an autosave version is different than the one on the current page. Here's a screenshot of it:

I really like how this looks, and I think it would be the best option for notifying the user that autosaved changes have been detected.SJK 23:17, 2 February 2009 (EST)

I agree that that notification looks nice and is effective. Ironically, Anthony lost an edit today on his first day doing open notebook science in Osley's lab!
  • Added better autosave notification mentioned above
  • Added support for loading jquery library from google servers, with ability to disable it within LocalSettings.php

diff

  • Various bug fixes for enabling/disabling extension
  • Switched to custom image for enabling/disabling extension (icon shows up in upper right hand corner, but only on edit pages).

Enabled: Image:Cmorse_notebook_LiveSaver_enabled.png Disabled: Image:Cmorse_notebook_LiveSaver_disabled.png

With these updates the plugin is probably ready for some real testing.

After using the wiki so much recently I can see how useful this extension could be; I have lost work a couple times in the past week for various reasons.SJK 02:10, 3 February 2009 (EST)
02:10, 3 February 2009 (EST)Is it possible to easily demo it on the MW server you installed on our server? Is it the kind of thing that could easily be added to MW, but only enabled for a couple users (such as you, me, and Ant)? Given that both of you have lost information recently, I am even more interested in asking Bill about adding this very soon, so please let me know. Thanks for the speedy progress!
