Collaboration among workflow modules

Posted by stevector on December 22, 2011 at 3:53pm

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.

Using workflow to create site update ticklers in Drupal?

Posted by charles belov on December 19, 2011 at 11:24pm

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.

Workflow with relation concept

Posted by jstoller on October 30, 2011 at 12:05am

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.

Ubercart Product Workflow and various timing stages with product expiration

Posted by aquaphenix on October 14, 2011 at 9:00pm

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

Posted by Robert2011 on June 23, 2011 at 3:24pm

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.

Could we build a D7 version so we have something to patch against ?

Posted by Guillaume Beaulieu on April 14, 2011 at 8:41pm

As the coder module does most of the work, I'd have time to plough through the TODO: on the module. You should harness the power of the dozens waiting for it: http://drupal.org/node/732578 ; I personally need the module, and I'm improving the coder module so more of the code will be automagically transformed, until I'd have no more time, and start working on a d7 version on a personnal server...

Simpler workflows?

Posted by othermachines on March 4, 2011 at 2:14am

Not to undermine the fine work done by the maintainers of the Workflow module and others, but in my experience a large majority of our clients don't need all of the bells & whistles but a basic, easy-to-configure-and-use system that allows editors to oversee contributors. In response-- and also due to my frustration at trying to set up and then dumb down the available modules (often requiring getting more than one module to sync in the way I want)-- I created a simple module (not yet hosted here) that I've been using on a few production sites.

edit permission to author after publishing the node in workflow

Posted by nikhilkala on February 25, 2011 at 2:20pm

Hello,

I am working on a small health care website. Where currently workflow is installed and configure.

In this site currently the Author can create document then the document goes into review state. if Admin ( no editor required ) found the document correct then document goes into published state.

Now, we are trying to do,
1. Author should be able to edit the published document to add the next information in the same document.
2. Once the document is edited by the author it should move back from published -> create state.

Any one has done /configured this type of workflow.

one workflow by OG

Last updated by cchamp on Tue, 2011-01-04 14:15

Hi all,

I'm interesting with the workflow module but I want to implement a specific feature with organic groups.
I have a simple workflow with 3 states : pending, approved, rejected.
With OG and the audience a node can belong to several groups and I would like that a same node can have
different state with different groups :
node 1 have "pending" state in group 1 and "approved" state in group 2.

The aim is to have a specific moderation in each groups.

Anyone have an idea to do that ?

Thanks in advance.

Workflow Access - Allow anonymous users to view certain CCK fields in Views, but not the full node?

Posted by tadfisher on November 29, 2010 at 7:11am

I have a Workflow setup like this:

Upcoming - node shows up in "Upcoming Reviews" content pane, but not viewable by anonymous users (also applies to Draft and Waiting states)
Draft - being worked on by author
Waiting for Approval - ready to be reviewed by administrator
Published - Viewable by everyone, shows up in various site sections/taxonomy lists

Workflow state filters don't show under "content management"

Posted by Reevo on November 20, 2010 at 2:45am

I installed Workflow and everything seems to be working, but a filter for the workflow states does not show up on the "content" page under "content management." Am I just doing something wrong? I am new to Drupal.

Thanks in advance.

How can I migrate the exist page and story after enable workflow module?

Posted by testgrupalmc26 on November 3, 2010 at 9:12am

Hi, all
I am going to install workflow on my site, and I had done some testing on staging environment. During the test, I found that all the pages submit into the system before enabling workflow module are at the "creation" state, I cannot "move" them to "Done" state on UI. Is there any instruction about how to migrate the exist post?

Thank you.

Transition labels should be built-in Workflow itself

Posted by Monzer Emam on October 5, 2010 at 5:25pm

Transition labels from POV is important as it should achieve the following :

ol>

By defining labels will define also what is possible transitions like "Draft->Reviewed", "Reviewed->Checked" and "Checked->Published" only.So transition like "Draft->Published" if not desirable without defining a label for it shouldn't be available.
