Hi, First off, thanks to everyone who contributed to this module; it's great.

We've got Workflow up and running and it's working very well. We've hit a minor snag (which happens to be of great concern to the client) and it's my job to fix the problem.

We've applied Workflow to two content types;

Content Type A has the states:
draft
submitted
published
in-process
closed

Content Type B has the states:
draft
submitted
publish
expired

This may be a very embarassing Noob question, but I'm working with workflow to handle a transaction negotiation on a site I'm building, and I think I will pick up some usability if I can move the workflow controls onto the same page as the actual node.

There may be an easy way to do this. There may also be a problem with doing it at all -- but I thought I'd ask and see if anyone wants to laugh at me. ;)

Thanks!

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...

I've been using Workflow and Actions since Drupal 4.7 pretty happily. So happily, in fact, that I was asked to use Drupal for electronic form routing. We're in D5 now and will be for some time based on other contrib modules in use.

The form routing began fairly simply, but it has grown to the attached flow chart, form_route.pdf.

I am working on a site where I will use the content profile to let members create a node based profile.

I have been trying to find a module to handle an associated gallery for each profile, where the member can upload images to their own gallery. The closest I have fond so far seems to be Node Gallery, but it is still in alpha only.

I have also looked at Node Images, but since that is not storing images as nodes using a workflow will be more or less impossible.

I'd like to RTFM but there doesn't seem to be an M to R. Some real world examples of precisely how people are using workflow in production would be very helpful! It would eliminate a whole lot of confusion.

One of the things that I would like to do is to display a message to unauthenticated users posting comments (encouraging them to register). I am clueless how or, for that matter, if this is the right module to do that.

The KEY here is that each level can access only that which has been pushed to them.
Otherwise, busybody supervisors and meddling senior management will either get confused (highly likely) or cause problems (not unusual).
Enforcing the "chain of command" and "need to know" are very important concepts here.
Obviously only certain content must undergo review by the full chain - but nevertheless - certain content must undergo review by the full chain.

Workflow Use Case: "Package Alpha"

1. Content created by Authorized Writer, "Package Alpha", Saved, Edited, Managed.
   
2. When content "Package Alpha" is complete, Pushed to Designated Reviewer by Authorized Writer using Workflow.
   
   [begin:Reviewer]
   
3. Any Reviewer can now see "Package Alpha". List of current work items provided by Views. Optionally Designated Reviewer notified via Triggers.
   
4. Designated Reviewer edits/approves/pushes "Package Alpha" to Designated Editor.
   
   [end/begin:Supervisor]
