User Role Selection and Profile Fields

Hi Drupalers,

I have two user roles with profile fields.

Role 1
Name, Username, Password, Email, Address line 1, Address line 2, Website.

Role 2
Name, Username, Password, Email

I want to let anonymous user to chose user role on registration.
Upon user role selection, I want to show role-related fields interactively (with javascript).
I mean that when select Role 2, Address line 1, Address line 2 and Website fields will be disappeared, and when select Role 1, they will be appeared again.

I currently use 'user_role_field' module and 'autoassignrole' module.

How to add workflow comment variable in email action

I am new at Drupal, just set up the workflow process for Drupal 6. I created an email action when editor saves content as Preview. I would like to insert the workflow comment filed in the notification email. I see in the Email action Massage box, we can put variables: %site_name, %username, %node_url, %node_type, %title, %teaser, %body. Can I add workflow comment variable in Massage box? What is the syntax? Thanks!

Drupal 7 has a couple of similar modules in the workflow space. I'm starting this thread to hold discussion around collaboration among some of those modules.

Using workflow to create site update ticklers in Drupal?

I recently posted a thread in the group Web Managers/Content Editors Creating site update ticklers in Drupal?. Someone suggested Workflow might do the trick. Hopefully, this would serve as a use case.

We have some content which, depending on which page it appears on, would be worded slightly differently. In any case, it would be incorporated into the body text.

Workflow with relation concept

For sometime we have been working on a publication workflow system at the California Science Center in D6 and I've been considering how such a system might be implemented in D7. This lead me to the work being done on the Relation module, which lead me to the following conceptual model. I'd like some feedback on the appropriateness and feasibility of this approach.

Ubercart Product Workflow and various timing stages with product expiration

Hi Everyone,

I want to be able to schedule a product to be featured at a certain time and that its already accomplished with the module workflow itself and having cron setup correctly. The issue at hand is that once the product is in the Workflow state of Featured it should move the Sidebar product state after 24 hours and should eventually move to the expired product state after another 48 hours.

Frustration with permissions

I have a 5-state revisioning workflow set up for 3 user roles.

Role 1 can always make edits. Roles 2 and 3 are meant to be able to edit pages when the page is in workflow states 2 and 4 respectively, however they cannot. The permissions in "Access Control" on the workflow editing page are set appropriately, so the problem must be somewhere else, but I can't see it.

edit: I have since discovered that only the original creator of the page can make edits.

Could we build a D7 version so we have something to patch against ?

As the coder module does most of the work, I'd have time to plough through the TODO: on the module. You should harness the power of the dozens waiting for it: http://drupal.org/node/732578 ; I personally need the module, and I'm improving the coder module so more of the code will be automagically transformed, until I'd have no more time, and start working on a d7 version on a personnal server...

Simpler workflows?

Not to undermine the fine work done by the maintainers of the Workflow module and others, but in my experience a large majority of our clients don't need all of the bells & whistles but a basic, easy-to-configure-and-use system that allows editors to oversee contributors. In response-- and also due to my frustration at trying to set up and then dumb down the available modules (often requiring getting more than one module to sync in the way I want)-- I created a simple module (not yet hosted here) that I've been using on a few production sites.

edit permission to author after publishing the node in workflow

Hello,

I am working on a small health care website. Where currently workflow is installed and configure.

In this site currently the Author can create document then the document goes into review state. if Admin ( no editor required ) found the document correct then document goes into published state.

Now, we are trying to do,
1. Author should be able to edit the published document to add the next information in the same document.
2. Once the document is edited by the author it should move back from published -> create state.

Any one has done /configured this type of workflow.

one workflow by OG

Hi all,

I'm interesting with the workflow module but I want to implement a specific feature with organic groups.
I have a simple workflow with 3 states : pending, approved, rejected.
With OG and the audience a node can belong to several groups and I would like that a same node can have
different state with different groups :
node 1 have "pending" state in group 1 and "approved" state in group 2.

The aim is to have a specific moderation in each groups.

Anyone have an idea to do that ?

Thanks in advance.

Workflow state filters don't show under "content management"

I installed Workflow and everything seems to be working, but a filter for the workflow states does not show up on the "content" page under "content management." Am I just doing something wrong? I am new to Drupal.

Thanks in advance.
