Workflow

I'm not sure if this the correct term for my use case. Most of the Drupal related workflow I've seen so far involved with user changing the state and the workflow firing action upon state changes. In my case however, I want the workflow to 'guide' the user so the focus is more the transition/action rather than state. Users doesn't really aware on the state of the object since they are presented with what actions available when they're viewing the object in any particular state.

As example, let's look at the typical publishing process with states and transitions define as:-

I'm trying to use both the moderation module and the workflow module. The moderation modules creates a nice little menu/interface for content administrators to quickly look at all pending comments and content nodes. They can quickly look at the pending queue, view the actual content/comment, click publish, and click moderate all without leaving the existing view. This works great.

Hi,

Drupal is brand new for me for publishing

What I am planning to do is if an editor Approves a content or Dis approves a content then he should fill a form.

Eg. If my publishing workflow is like

Content Writers Write the content
Language Administrator checks the language used and approves or dis approves
Editor checks all the content created and approved by Content Writer and Language Administrator

Now if any stage a content is dis approved then the person who disapproves it should be able to fill a form

I maintain a Drupal newspaper website and we're looking to improve the process for soliciting and publishing articles. The goals are to consolidate the process and make things more efficient for editors and authors to collaborate, as well as to provide some organizational tools to map out when articles will be published over the coming weeks or month.

Hi everybody,

I'm fumbling around with the workflow-module and I'm running into walls here and there. I watched a few screencasts but everywhere something is left out. The first talked about actions but won't talk about activating trigger-module and so on.

At the moment I got a basic workflow running but the permissions won't work. So I ask if someone here knows a step by step tutorial for a basic workflow. Including creation of users and setting their permissions right.

Does the current workflow module have support for displaying an intuitive workflow diagram?

Can you see where you are in the workflow?

I am working on designing a Drupal site with the Workflow module for a college newspaper that is produced weekly...

We have a workflow set up such that an article is uploaded, section edited, copy edited, and then scheduled for publication the following day.

Is there a way to mass schedule every node that is in the "copy edited" to change to the "published" stage at a specific time?

Thanks!

The upcoming Drupal 7 update brings with it a great opportunity to provide better support in Core for advanced workflows with content moderation, but the code freeze is fast approaching and this opportunity may pass us by. I encourage all developers to check out Support Revisions in Different States in the Drupal issue queue and lend a hand.

Why you should care?

I don't get what 'Workflow' is about. As a subject I mean. I know that sometimes a user posts content that needs approval, and so in this sense there's a flow of work, as the user posts, the administrator approves, etc. And my brother works in a company that use Lotus Notes to create their own email-based applications. Ones to do with Workflow. Example: employee fills out holiday application form & sends it to his line manager, who responds to it & sends it to various people, etc. Stuff like that.
