Confirmation if exiting from new blog post

I wrote a long blog post, I was changing the category, then i pressed backspace because I wanted to delete something... bad error, i got a page back and my long post disappeared (thanks to lazarus to resurrect my writing)

What about a confirmation if exiting from new blog post page?

Re: Confirmation if exiting from new blog post

Its a nice idea. I've added a wish list item in our project tracker for this. I think we would want to do it anywhere we have an editor, but only if the content  in the editor has changed since the page loaded, so we will need a way to capture content changed event from each of the supported editors and use that to wire up the script to prompt before leaving the page.

Best,

Joe

fyi, this is now implemented in the source code repository so it will be in the next release. You can even notice it here in the forums if you start to reply but then try to navigate away before posting it prompts you.

This is a good feature, I know this is going to prevent some heartburn, I've had times myself where I was writing a long article or blog post and by some keyboard combination in the CKeditor it jumped back a page and lost what I was working on.

Best,

Joe
