Workflow | Validation

Excuse my newbie question,

I just installed the free version of KenticoCMS, and would like to have 2 levels of users;
one for editing (L1), and one for moderating (L0),

and more specifically, I would like the changes of L1 to stay in a temporary repository, until L0 validates them. Only then, the modified text would be published to the public visitors

Is that possible?


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 1/14/2009 1:54:28 AM RE:Workflow \| Validation Hi, You can use the workflow module to achieve your needs very easy - http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/workflow_overview.htm. Best Regards, Juraj Ondrus


Member	graag.gedan-gmail - 1/14/2009 9:26:52 AM RE:Workflow \| Validation Please correct me if I am wrong I understood that the workflow does not work for the free version According to the Feature Matrix: http://www.kentico.com/getdoc/bc8a237e-ad06-4e6b-930c-499ac413bba0/Feature-Matrix.aspx


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 1/15/2009 1:12:46 AM RE:Workflow \| Validation Hi, Yes, you understood it right - workflow is not available in free edition. Best Regards, Juraj Ondrus


Member	graag.gedan - 1/15/2009 4:58:36 AM RE:Workflow \| Validation In that case, how can that particular feature be implemented? Having the text published AFTER it is validated by a moderator?

RE:Workflow | Validation

Hello,

you could study the mentioned link to our documentation and test it in the trial version: http://www.kentico.com/Download/Trial-version.aspx

The trial version includes this feature, only it is only limited to 30 days.

Yes, the document (text) is published as lately as it is validated (approved) by a moderator.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova


Member	graag.gedan-gmail - 1/15/2009 2:22:33 PM RE:Workflow \| Validation Thank you Helena for the support. And I would like to have this feature in the free version. What's the best way to accomplish that, NOT using the workflow, since its not included in the package?


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 1/16/2009 4:26:52 AM RE:Workflow \| Validation Hi, You will need to create custom module (http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/custom_modules.htm) which will ensure all the logic you want to have. In your case it might be complicated but using our API, you can try to implement this (http://devnet.kentico.com/downloads/kenticocms_api.zip). Best Regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:Workflow | Validation

After digging more in the documentation, I realize that this post should have been under "aspx Templates" sorry about that

Again, what I am trying to achieve is to have a temporary table to hold all the editing until a moderator approves the changes.

How can a 'module' implement that?
Do you have illustrative documentation for that? (the mentioned help file contains only a description of the functions used)


Member	graag.gedan-gmail - 3/17/2009 2:18:50 PM RE:Workflow \| Validation This problem still occurs... Does anyone have a solution to propose?


Member	sdtjgsdghyulmr-yahoo - 10/6/2010 8:07:20 PM RE:Workflow \| Validation You could make the navigation region a CSS list menu webpart (if you wish to use ul li structure) which will dynamically build your navigation based on what pages are set-up/pointed at. From here you can assign an active CSS class for each page under there respective properties within the CMSDesk.
