Keep track of Node revision in Workflow stage

Posted by vtsan on February 19, 2009 at 6:31pm

Workflow only keep track of current node revision in the arbitrary workflow stage(s), what do I have to do if I want workflow to keep track of the node revision? For example, I create 3 stages as follow draft, review, publish. I have a Node which have 3 revisions. The first revision is in draft stage, and second revision in review stage, and third revision is in publish stage.

Making Logging Messages Required in Workflow?

Posted by attheshow on February 13, 2009 at 10:06pm

Is there any easy way to make the logging messages required? I'm thinking I might need to put a form_alter into a custom module, but if there's an easier way that someone knows, I'd be interested in hearing it.

workflow_allowed_transitions coming back wrong

Posted by tmetzger on February 5, 2009 at 7:36pm

When I call workflow_allowed_transitions( $sid, 'to', $user->roles ) I don't get all the correct transitions back. Not sure why! I have checked that the correct roles are going into the function. I have checked the transition definitions. I've even traced through the source code and can't see anything wrong.

Perhaps array_intersect in workflow_transition_allowed is broken??

Any help much appreciated. I've resorted to using 'ALL' for the time being, but that will not do.

Calling the workflow module

Posted by tmetzger on February 3, 2009 at 7:48am

I'm writing some custom modules for a web application. It would be very handy to call directly into the workflow module to find (for example) all the valid next states for a given user and node, or to make a call that updates the workflow state of a node. I don't want to grub around in the database to get this done, because it's nasty and it would probably break later.

So this might be a n00b question but is there API documentation for the workflow module?

Thanks,
Tom

Is it possible to unpublish nodes based on Node references?

Posted by tomper00 on December 1, 2008 at 10:46pm

Im trying to build a model where I have a parent node that can contain one ore many child nodes based on Node Reference in CCK?
Example:
I have parent called "podcast" that can have the following childnodes:
comments(node type not a std comment)
Blogposts(also a node type)
Related link(also a node type)

All have a node reference field where you point out the parent podcast.

When a podcast is unpublished I want all child nodes to be unpublished at the same time?

Has anyone done this before or does someone have an idea about how I can do this?

Problem Assigning Action to Workflow (screen caps attached)

Posted by RobertW@groups.... on November 26, 2008 at 6:17pm

I am totally new to Drupal. I have a fresh install of Drupal 6.6 with Workflow 6.x-1.0-rc3. I have found the place to create actions and where to create a workflow but I can't figure out how to link them. The documentation I have found (including the Readme) seams to indicated there should be an Actions button on my work flow page. There is not.

I am in need of assistance on how to construct the following:

  1. Maintain a list of responsible users in a list (NodeQueue ?)

Event: A User submist a new node of a specific type (CCK-based form)

Requirement:

Keep Past Revision Published While Awaiting Moderation

Posted by kipkoan on November 4, 2008 at 9:47pm

I am needing a way to set up a workflow like this:

  • Editors add & edit content on the site
  • Publishers approve the content
  • If an Editor edits content already published, then the current revision stays published online, while the new revision is awaiting approval from the Publisher.

I thought this would be a common workflow that people use, but I can't seem to find a way to do it. I did find the Revision Moderation module (http://drupal.org/project/revision_moderation), but it looks like it doesn't work for Drupal 6.

Workflow States on Pre-Existing Content

Posted by okmi on October 16, 2008 at 8:33pm

I am relatively new to the Workflows module, so I thought I would post my question here.

We have a list of about 200 page nodes that need editing. The content is there, but we need to set up a workflow to mark these nodes as "needs edits".

I have no problem setting up a simple workflow in Drupal 6, but how do I bulk update my nodes to be in a specific state? Is this even possible?

Workflow problem saving node

Posted by dwhite10701 on October 8, 2008 at 8:39pm

Hey, I'm testing the workflow module on my site, and I'm having a problem with it that I hope one of you can help me with.

I'm using Drupal 5.6 , Workflow 5.x-2.3, Workflow access 5.x-2.3, Actions 5.x-2.6, Trigger Unlock 6.x-1.0 (which can supposedly work with Drupal 5).

I set up five workflow states for one of my content types, called "Press Releases". The assigned actions for each transition is to change the workflow state, and to publish or unpublish the node.

Workflow and cron (Drupal 5)

Posted by maurizio.ganovelli on September 15, 2008 at 4:00pm

I'm searching a way to set multiple cron events for a workflow. A simple example for a node:
A publisher create a content:
[Created --> Wait for review]
An auditor then approve the content:
[Wait for review --> Approved]
Now i want to set two scheduled task to make this node first "Published" (i.e. in a week), then "Archived" (i.e. in two week), in order to make content available to all users for an entire week (without using the core function publish/unpublish content which needs 'administer nodes' permission that is not too flexible for my needs).

Workflow States as Taxonomy?

Posted by iceman90 on August 22, 2008 at 2:39am

Hello,

I am building a site that has a complex workflow. What I want to be able to do, is use my workflow states as a taxonomy in a way, and be able to show users a block on the sidebar, where they can see the different workflow states (and hopefully a count of how many nodes are in that state), and if they select one, see all of the nodes currently assigned to that state.

How can this be achieved?

Examples of "Execute custom PHP code"?

Posted by Alexander Ufimtsev on August 5, 2008 at 12:07pm

Hi All,

Are there any 'execute custom php code' examples available for workflow-ng v 2.1? I am trying to set 'alt_login' username upon user creation:

$alt_login = $account;
return array("alt_login" => $account);

but I guess that's too simplistic. Should I actually do it with SQL statements, etc? If so, are there any limitations on PHP execution via workflow-ng? Any code samples, etc?

Thanks in advance,
Alex
