Roberto Sacchi	Tuesday 10 March 2009 2:58:56 pm I would like to create a policy rule like that: users can edit an object but they can only save a draft, not publish the modified content. (another rule could be "create but not publish") I don't find that function in the admin panel. Maybe I miss it. Thanks Rob
Jean-Yves Zinsou	Tuesday 10 March 2009 3:50:09 pm Hi there, in fact, it is not the way it supposed to be done. You must allow users to create content, and then define a workflow with an event /approve and a trigger "before publish" . When they will click on "publish" the element will be submitted to a group of approvers. After an approver approves (ha ha) the object will be really published on the site. You can even define a set of users that can publish without approval needed. Se here : http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/reference/workflow_events/approve Don't forget : you must properly define the schedule of the matching cronjobs... Hope this helps Have fun ! Jey Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I dream of eZpubliSheep.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.alma.fr
