Forum OpenACS Development: Lars Blogger: Approval Workflow

Collapse
Posted by Malte Sussdorff on
I need a very simple approval workflow for Lars Blogger:

- People with create permission can create a news entry.
- People with write permission get a notification so they can approve it.
- People with read permission can read it after approval.

Is this maybe already in Lars-Blogger and I am too blind to find it?

Has anyone else worked on this before?

Would it be fine if I just add a paramater "RequireApprovalP" to enable the workflow on sites?

Would it be better to use create/write for new entries and "admin" for approval?

As the creator can edit their own posting until it is approved, is "create" permission still the right one to use?

Thanks for your ideas.

Not that I have a vested interest in this, but I would make a new permission for the approval purpose since it is not the same as the permission to administer the package nor is it the same as write permission.

You could hypothetically have a legal team who had to approve all posts but had no permission to admin the package or create /write anything.
