CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I brought this up a while back, but we have a need for allowing some people to edit contact records with approval required at the head office before changes are committed to the DB.

We can probably provide some funding for it - although not a large amount at present.

Would there be larger interest from the CiviCRM community in this feature?

I'm still learning how to add-on to CiviCRM core, but I'm thinking as a starting point that users with certain ACL permission levels would make changes to a parallel set of custom fields. A post_hook would notify head office, who would then view these new custom fields side by side old core fields in a profile, before hitting 'Commit' to transfer these from custom fields to core fields.

I am probably not thinking of that in the most efficient way - but that's the level I am at right now. The above I could probably do myself with some time.

Interesting idea - I don't have logging turned on my site at the moment, so I haven't played around with it (yet).
