New filter `wp_post_lock_status`

[sebastian.pisula]

I have wp with one account for 5 people, employees. We make websites so 5 accounts for each website -> waste of time and difficult to maintain. We have big problem - if somebody edit page and I start edit the same page we have conficts and overwrite own changes. I can't see notice about that somebody edit this page because we use one account. My best idea! When user is logged in i create new cookie: wordpress_logged_in_unique_COOKIEHASH with unique hash -> user agent + wp_generate_password().

I save user hash if _edit_lock_hash was saved.

So I can't check that post is locked or. So I write filter for return value of wp_check_post_lock() and... this work!

I suggest add this filter (idea) to core or show me other way to resolve my problem.

He @sebastianpisula,

Thanks for this. Your filter request seems sensible. I do recommend using different user accounts, but I could see scenarios where a site would want to implement custom logic for post locking.

The patch needs a refresh against the latest trunk, though. Are you able to take care of that?
