Been there, done that. I suppose you could copy or backup the Scoop database, but as I'm not that proficient with MySQL, I'm not sure if this is wise or how you'd go about doing it. My system is simple: never (okay, rarely) edit directly in the Scoop interface. 1) Use a text editor. 2) Copy and paste existing block, box, etc code into text editor. 3) Save. 4) Save copy with date stamp, and close file. 5) Open version from step #3. 6) Edit file. 7) Copy and paste code back into Scoop. 8) Test, and go back to step 6 if necessary. Good luck, Chris -------------------------- Chris Schults Web Production Manager Grist Magazine 710 Second Avenue, Suite 860 Seattle, WA 98104 Phone: 206-876-2020, ext. 204 Fax: 253-423-6487 <http://www.grist.org> To sign up for Grist by email, the world's top environmental news served up with a sense of humor, click here <http://www.grist.org/signup/> or send a blank email message to <daily-grist-subscribe at lists.grist.org> ________________________________ From: scoop-help-bounces at lists.kuro5hin.org [mailto:scoop-help-bounces at lists.kuro5hin.org] On Behalf Of Jerry Schwartz Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2006 9:30 AM To: scoop-help at lists.kuro5hin.org Subject: [Scoop-help] Saving original box / block definitions I've already proven that you can hurt yourself by changing original chunks of a Scoop site. Is there a way to back up or save the original contents, so that you can revert if you make a serious mistake (or simply forget why you made a change)?
