Problem with Workflow Edit Permissions
I've been using Drupal for a few months now, but have only recently tested the workflow module on one of my sites (for submitting creative writing). I started with workflow-ng, and loved the functionality, but prefer the simplicity of the linear workflow in the "workflow" module.
Read moreChanging user's role when node is created?
Hello, I am wondering if Workflow-ng can do this:
- A user creates a node
- Upon node creation, the user's role is changed
Stated differently, can Workflow-ng change the role of a user after they create a node?
I'm guessing it's possible, but I'm not sure how.
Thanks,
Jim

SMS action
Hello everyone. I have been playing around with the SMS framework and email gateway and I think its great! I'd like to throw a bounty out for someone to create an action that send an SMS to a user i.e the author if they have entered their sms information on their account profile.
I don't have much, but I'd love to see this module go SMS via actions! : )

A not-so-ordinary Workflow scenario
The scenario: the project calls for 30 individual reports generated by different writers (some of the writers will generate only one report whilst others will be responsible for more than one). These reports are to be uploaded to the site from where they will be downloaded by a handful of reviewers, each reviewer being responsible for a specific set of reports. Reviews will be uploaded as documents which will in turn be downloaded by the writer and so on and so forth.
Read moreParallel Paths in Workflow
I'm looking for some feedback. I'm using the workflow module and generally find it very good. Very easy to setup and can be extended to do quite a bit. The only thing it seems to be lacking that I keep finding myself needing and having to work around, is parallel paths. Does any one have any ideas on how to accomplish this? I am a fairly adept programmer and may be able to devote a little bit of time to this, but looking for some input to see if anyone else out there has this need or has any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Read moreActions for File Uploads
I'm looking to create a site where an administrator can post a file with a list of questions (Actually a file with protein/ligand smiles strings for you chemistry geeks out there). Then I'm looking to let a user post a file of answers (Again for the chemistry geeks: pose prediction, affinity estimation, etc). When they post their answers, it'll give them access to yet another questions file with which they can post their answers file.
Once they post an answers file, the questions file should be marked as answered and there may be one or more question files unlocked as a result.

Question about different workflows per user
I have two states in my workflow: Submitted and Published.
I want to restrict anonymous user to submitting to the Submitted state. (done.)
I want logged-in users to automatically post to the Published state. (almost there)
In the creation section of the workflow grid, I've set:
- Submitted: Author, anonymous user
- Published: authenticated user, Content Admin, Site Admin
There is no overlap between user roles in that workflow setup. However, when an authenticated user creates some new content, he is given the choice of Submitted or Published.
I don't even have to get rid of the "Submitted" option, if I can set the "Published" option to be selected by default for authenticated users.
any tips?
thanks in advance!
Read moreAutomatically removing blog entry from front page when a newer item is created
Hello, we're working on a site at http://www.mngreenroofs.org/ and they are looking for a certain feature for their blog:
They want something that automatically publishes the latest blog entry to their front page, and unpublishes the previous latest entry from the front page (but it still stays published in the blogs area).
I'm guessing the basic answer would be something like:
<
ul>
unpublish content types automatically
I have content types provided, that automatically eight weeks after publishing should be deleted or unpublished. Is that possible with the workflow ng module? Or have you any other solution for me?
kind regards

Are you storing your Drupal sites or configs in a version control system? If so, which?
Workflow-ng 1.0 released!
Finally the first stable release of workflow-ng is out!
The module is already stable for a long time and all important features are implemented, so I decided it's time to release. So I'm happy to have a stable 1.0 release out of the door close before the drupalcon in barcelona. If you are going to barcelona, don't miss the session about workflow-ng.

Changing states through links.
I am attempting to set up a node type that has 4 workflow states associated to it. What I would like to do is include links or linked images images and via the link, can be clicked on to change that node to that state. The idea is to keep users from having to click workflow and then change the state. These states will not change, so I don't mind hardcoding links into the node template and using node id as a dynamic variable in the url. Is this possible? I think that this would be a great usability enhancement to Workflows aswell. thanks in advance. Jimmy

Multiple workflows for same content type - status and implementation
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to add multiple workflows on the same node type. Its for some CRM system (among the rest) that has a few logical workflows within, all on users of the system. We contemplated on using node profile as the node type with multiple workflows defined on it, but, that's not possible as in the current workflow module implementation each content type can be associated with one workflow . Any suggestions?
incorrect logic from state to the same state
I'm following the "classic" example here with 3 states:
- Draft
- Review
- Publish
Only the editor/moderator can publish a node. So, user only has access to Draft and Review states.
Read moreNew user to drupal and workflow (very confused)
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.

Read moreCreate forum topic after content creation
I'm actually creating a special content type with the cck module. Th problem thereby is that I want to have the discussion to the content not in form of comments but in form of a forum topic. This should be generated for every content of this type by default.
I thought an action maybe in combination with a workflow could help solving this problem fast. I'm not good at php so I'm asking here if this is possible and on how to create such an action.
Read moreAction triggered upon submitting
We are attempting to set up a workflow action for people to apply for a directory listing on a website. Editors should be notified that a submission has been received, so they will be able to review it. The eventual process will hopefully be something like this:
- An anonymous user fills out the CCK fields set up for Directory Listing content.
- Upon clicking "submit", an e-mail is sent out to site editor(s).
- The content goes into an unpublished "For Review" state.
- Editors review it and go from there....
Workflow Graph released
This little module produces graph diagrams out of workflows, useful for documentation purposes.
It currently generates two distinct kinds of graphs:
* One for the workflow definition, showing all workflow states, the
transitions linking them, and the roles allowed to perform those
transitions.
* One for a workflow instance history, i.e. the path that a workflow
took for a specific node. Here, the graph shows all state transitions
that occurred on the node, including the timestamp and the users who
performed those transitions.
It's pretty raw for the time being, especially when it comes to controlling the generated graph. Enthusiasts are welcome!
Check it out: http://drupal.org/project/workflow_graph

Change node from private to publici
I'd like to be able to submit a post, have members vote on it, and then if the score is high enough, it gets published publicly. Is that possible? Perhaps if I posted a private group post, it could be changed to public with og_audience?. Should I be looking at the action module instead?
