[support] Drupal Staging/Preview Question

[blogdiva at culturekitchen.com]

Hi Tom,

I just read two of your questions and they are all quite valid.  
Drupal has grown exponentially in the past 3 years or so and  
documentation has not caught up with all the possible questions web  
developers, expert users or end-users may have about the product.

Drupal does have the ability to QUEUE content. If you look in the  
MODULES page [ http://drupal.org/project/Modules/name ] and search  
the word "workflow", you will find several modules that may suit your  
need.

The way I have done is by setting up a content class or NODE TYPE  
(like for example, STORY) and configuring it to go UNPUBLISHED and to  
QUEUE before it goes to publication. Then I give permissions to  
'EDITORS' who can approve the stories, publish them and promote them  
to the front page.

So the answer is yes, Drupal does have the ability to create a workflow.

Hope this helps,
liza
