Hello, all,
I am working in a system that should have the following workflow:
After a user has registered, he is able to create one (and just one) node of a certain content type, which has several fields.
In order to "submit" que node type, there are several fields that should be filled, and thus I marked them as required.
However, this person should also be able to save an "Incomplete" content type, as a "draft", before submiting it. And, in this case, the fields wouldn't have to be filled.
After the content is submitted, the user should not be able to edit it anymore.
Ok, so, how have I done it so far?
I created the content type and then used save&edit ( http://drupal.org/project/save_edit) to create two status: published and saved.
Then I used Skip validation (http://drupal.org/project/skip_validation) so, when the person just saves the content type, it skips validation.
And the validation is just done when the person publishes the node, which is when I used Rules (http://drupal.org/project/rules) in order to prevent send e-mail and prevent further access to the content.
Sounded good, but the problem is that the content is not being save after skipping validation.
So, here I am, trying to think about another way of doing this. My doubts/thoughts until now are:
- is there a module that makes a different kind of validation which is not the core validation?
- why is the content type not being save after skipping validation?
- does anybody have any different idea of how i could do this?
thank you in advance,
best regards,
daniela -
