Introduction
You are a site administrator? Maybe you already saw use cases below.
Use case one
“Hi, I deleted an importan content created yesterday. I created it back but for $INTERNAL reason I need that this content seems created yesterday, before 02:00 P.M.”
—a user
Use case two
“Hi, I accidentally modified an old document… or better: the change was needed but for $INTERNAL reason I need it seems again ‘old’ ad before. Can you restore the last modification date to January 2008?”
—another user
Epilogue
The collective.datehacker product add to Plone a simple new view that you (the site admin? a smart user? every users in the portal) can use to change two of the most untouchable date inside Plone contents: the modification date and the creation date.
If you are trained enough, you can change those dates in few lines of code, but maybe:
you don’t know how to write code
you are lazy
you don’t have an account with Manager permissions
none of above, but you are sure that, sooner or later, someone will ask again for the same change.
Also this product can be useful after some big-migration activiti to Plone. May be that you or your users need to be able to restore some creation/modification date after the process.
Instructions
No much to say, just call an URL like http://myplonesitehost/mycontenttype/hackdates then you can use the user friendly form
The form can only be called from users that behave the “Hack content’s dates” permission.
You can call the hackdates views where you want.
TODO
Register someway, somewhere, the hacking operation
Test on Plone 4 (it must work, but is untested)
