Hi

I am a recent entrant in to the world of Drupal and have so far been very impressed indeed.
I am having problems understanding how to implement workflow in version 5.1x of drupal.
The workflow I want to do is:

1.author creates content and sends for approval
2. notiification email sent to admin
3. admin publishes content
4. content visible live on site

I have read various postings and have watched the lullabot workflow video but am coming up against a very big brick wall at the minute in terms of me grasping how this is done.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Adam

hi!
you could try to build it with workflow-ng -> http://drupal.org/project/workflow_ng

You can use it to build it like you describe it:

configure your content type to be not published by default. Configure workflow-ng to send out the mail to the admin, when content of your content type is created - put a link to the content in the mail. So the admin can click on it and publish the content.
