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

Try using workflow-ng instead. With it you can build it straight forward like you describe it, create a CCK field, which allows the user to set the content to "ready", check with workflow-ng for this field on content update, and notify the admin by mail.
