I used this to allow authenticated users create an event node, with a re-direct to a page telling them that the event had to be reviewed and approved by administrators.

When I publish the node using the “moderation” module, it shows up.

I’ve been dicking around with trying to write a custom action with a module, but couldn’t get it to work. This worked fantastically and was very easy once I read your tutorial. This should be a handbook page on drupal.org

I’m wondering how you would setup the field so that the original author gets an email once the node is published by the admin?

Thanks for the good article. I’d like to know whether you plan to use workflow with a terminology permission module. That means an editor can only publish articles in certain terms.

Assign actions to states

Ok. Our actions have been created. We need to go back to our workflow section and assign these actions to state transitions.

Click “Administer” and then “Workflow”

Add this step >>> In the “Content Type” column, locate “News”. Set its “Workflow” column to “News Publishing”. Click “Save workflow mapping”.

Click “Actions” next to our “News publishing” workflow.

Note: Navigate to Administer / Reports / Recent log entries / Filter log messages / Type=workflow / Filter button to see the list of workflows.

This was the most straightforward tutorial I’ve seen to perform an edit-approve-publish workflow. Thank you!!

I’m encountering a problem by following the tutorial : everything is ok but the tokenized email doesn’t works.
All actions are triggered (log says actions have been done) but no e-mail come after that.

I’ve tryed doing actions by simple e-mail with no token actions module : same result, nothing happen.
I’m using a fresh install of Drupal 6.10 with workflow : 6.x-1.1 http://drupal.org/node/355645 and token 6.x-1.11 http://drupal.org/node/290380

If anyone could give me a way to follow for finding where is the problem ….
Thanx in advance.
