Difference with version 2.x of Node Revision Delete?

The node_revision_delete module is a really great module, this module applies a lot of the same logic. The difference is that this module is content moderation state aware, so you can do things like only delete non-published historical revisions. The node_revision_delete module has no concept of content moderation which could potentially make it dangerous for moderated sites where forward revisions could be drafts and an historical revision could be your current published revision (see in getCandidatesNodes in node_revision_delete).

Cheers!

The node_revision_delete module has no concept of content moderation which could potentially make it dangerous for moderated sites where forward revisions could be drafts and an historical revision could be your current published revision (see in getCandidatesNodes in node_revision_delete).

Could it be that you are talking about the first version of the node_revision_delete module? Because the 2.x version certainly is content moderation aware.

I can't find a getCandidatesNodes() method in the 2.x version of the module, so you are probably talking about the first version?

In NodeRevisionDelete.php:

**
* {@inheritdoc}
*/
public function getCandidatesRevisions(string $content_type, int $number = PHP_INT_MAX): array {
// @todo check if the method can be improved.

If you can find a way to configure / patch the node_revision_delete module to keep published revisions then we can shut down this module.

Cheers.
