When is it time to write a module?

I have a "system" that I have built in Drupal 6 for tracking employee time off. I used actions, triggers and php snippets to get this all working. I have a form for creating a time off request, which launches an approval workflow and email notifications, and that ends with (if the time actually taken) a record that records that time, and reports that HR uses for determining vacation and sick balances.

Using Rules to update content date

I'm looking for information on how to setup Rules to automatically update the "created on" date of a node to the current date and time when that node is changed from "unpublished" to "published".

Basically, the site accepts content from registered users, which is not published until an admin/moderator reviews it. Upon review, the node's status is changed from "unpublished" to "published". At that moment, I'm trying to configure Rules to update the node's creation date to the current date and time (so that its creation date is the time it was published, not actually created).

Simpler workflow management for authors

Hi,

After a lot of trial and error I had to scrap the use of the Revisioning module as it simply made things for the authors/moderators to complex to usable, but also created a lot of not so nice side effects for other content as mentioned here. Plus when cleaning up after it I got a total WSOD and 404 on every page, took me hours to get the site back...

Workflow and automatic transitions

Hi,

I have almost completed my workflow, only one tiny piece is missing.

My workflow have three stages; Edit, Review and Publish.

I don't want normal users to see the workflow tab, but I want to set an action when the author saves it in Edit or Review stage. What I can't figure out is how to automatically move a node from Edit stage to Review and in Review send a new email should be sent out when the author saves it.

Activity 2.x vs general purpose logging module?

I'm currently planning the rule based custom logging module, which I'm going to write after rules 1.0 is out. I post this to the activity group too, because I think there is quite a overlap to 2.x version, which is currently under development.

Package Management

Note: My proposal has evolved to include a detailed schedule, glossary, and long brief about the reasons why my methodology is at least different, if not better than the existing ones. I have moved the content from this single page to the Package Management project page. The project home page links to the SoC Proposal with the schedule.

Old Titles for this project ordered by earliest (from these you can see 3 major aspects of the project):

Challenging use for Workflow

I am not a developer, but looking for opinions on the best way to approach this to guide my team... It revolves around workflow, triggers, actions and maybe some rules.

A content type (call it bid) can be created with a nodereference to another content type (call it RFP)

The workflow has been created with the following steps:
(creation) - can be created by anyone with a vendor role(and some other "pre-qualifications") (done by workflow fields)
draft - Only Author can edit (done by workflow fields)
Submit - Only Author can edit (done by workflow fields)

Totally confused by workflow

I must confess I am totally confused by workflow. I'm still working in D5 (waiting for modules to be upgrade to D6 so I can upgrade), and would like to set some simple workflows in place. Two examples:
