Workflow and Rules
Hopefully this is just my inexperience.. I had TAC and Workbench installed, Since workbench handled the state changes but didn't handle if a user could see the content, I decided to see what other options there were.
I have now installed workflow, TAC and rules. I am using TAC to control if content is seen by roles. I have created three workflow states. Draft, Needs Review, Published.
I have created rules so that if a node changes from published to needs review, then an action of un-publishing that node should be performed. But when I perform this action nothing is happens.

Tracking published date in Core
Have you ever wished core would track the date/time a node was published, instead of just when it was created and modified? Well, now is your chance! There is a patch in the issue queue, but it needs review and time is running out before feature freeze. Please get involved.
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in workflow_access_node_access_records()
Hi, I would like to get help from this group. I created a six-state workflow via the workflow module (7.x-1.0) and Workflow access (7.x-1.0). Now, I have a problem with the transitions between some states. The state can go from the current to next state, but cannot be changed back to the previous state. I got this error message:
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in workflow_access_node_access_records()
or
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in node_access_write_grants()
Revision moderation in Core!
Just 4 years, 213 days, 18 hours and 31 minutes after I submitted my feature request, there's finally been a patch committed to Drupal Core (D8) which supports content moderation in the API! Yay!

Workflow: how to send email to previous editor of a node
I am running Drupal 6 and the workflow module and I need to send an email to the last
user that edited a page when it get rejected so they know that they need to look at the
page and fix the problem. I also have the Token module running and it provides several
special tokens to use but there is not a previous editor token. I tried these tokens:
[workflow-current-state-updating-user-uid] uid of last state changer
[workflow-current-state-updating-user-mail] email of last state changer
These token give you the current updater that happens to be the user that is logged in

Need to find a good Process Flow solution
I an looking for a Process Flow Module to plug into Drupal but I have been unable to find one so far. Is there one that somebody can recommend?
Time to make a Workflow Initiative?
I'm sure we can all remember the former state of media in the Drupalverse, when the options were the Image, Video, and Audio modules (that all did things differently). Looking at how they were brought together, re-invented, and rebuilt as part of the media initiative, might it be time to do the same with workflows?
There are currently a lot of modules that attempt to handle workflows, including the Workflow, Workbench, StateMachine, and in some ways Rules - with each doing so in their own way. I'd love to see a solid API built for workflows that can easily be extended.
Thoughts?
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.

Collaboration among workflow modules
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.
Read moreUsing 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.
Read moreWorkflow 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.

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.
