Hiya Drupal Ireland

I'm very new to Drupal and was hoping for some help with creating a site for assignment submission, grading and publishing. I would like for different groups to be able to edit different cck fields at different stages of a workflow process but am having trouble getting the editable fields to be displayed. I've included a pdf of the view with some comments but I'm hoping the group will be able to tell me how to

set up the page view so the attachment view only shows the selected node details
allow the designated user to update the content type by adding values to the displayed fields and progress the node to the next workflow stage

I've posted my problem to the drupal forum but haven't got any responses yet. Apologies if this is the wrong medium for this request

Are you using workflow module?
http://drupal.org/project/workflow

Hi Alan

Yes I'm using the workflow. I've created my states and the top section of the attached pdf is a view created with filters for the workflow state "assignment submitted". My main problem is that I can't figure out how to have the examiners update the nodes with the marks and progress the node to the next workflow state "Grades submitted"

Not an Expert on Workflow

I'm not an expert on workflow...

But I'm not sure that nodes can be edited within a view as you require.
There is another module that allows this
http://drupal.org/project/editview
so maybe give that a whirl.

A simple suggestion, add an 'edit node' link to the view so the reviewers can edit the node.
I think there is an option with an edit link, that says 'return to view after editing' or similar.

I'm not too worried about the workflow elements. I did find the editview module but there was no "submit" or "save" option on the screen. Maybe the best way to go is use the edit node link you spoke about. Any pointers on it as I'm actually about 3 days into using drupal?

No need for pointers. If

No need for pointers.
If you've got the view that far, you'll be fine.
Its just another field you can add.
