Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/19671 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: node.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: chx Reported by: chx Updated by: chx Status: patch workflow would benefit from this a lot, sure, but does not implement anything like this. chx Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 29, 2005 - 22:42 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/node_unpublished.patch (9.42 KB) This patch introduces the concept of unpublished nodes' administrator. This admin can do anything with unpublished nodes, but changing node->status. Known problem: If you have some node types where the default workflow is to publish, for example storiy, and for some others you want to employ unpublished node administrators (UNAs). If you unpublish a story and a UNA changes anything in that, it will pop back to published state and the poor UNA will be unable to unpublish it. Possible workaround: UNAs never can publish anything, even if default workflow says "publish". Disadvantage: UNA will need to keep two accounts, one normal user who can publish stories and an UNA account. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ March 30, 2005 - 13:49 : killes@www.drop.org Shouldn't that be handled by workflow.module?
