Multiple blogs and approve workflow?

Thursday 18 January 2007 12:55:33 pm

Hi,

I have a tough question for you, Im afraid...

We´re creating a site with multiple blogs. The blogs will be maintanined by different bloggers, who will all log in to eZ to post their blog-entries.

It is possible to accept comments to these blogs. But if comments are accepted, they will be passed through an approve workflow before being published.

Now to the hard part of it - we want to have comments being added to the blog of Writer 1 passed only to him for approving. Not to all bloggers. Also, we want ONLY Writer 1 to get the notification email, that a comment is awaiting approval.

Until now, all comments is available for approval by all bloggers.Also, all bloggers will get the notification email stating that a new comment is available for approval.

We´re using the ezapprove2 extension.

Any ideas on how to handle this issue?

Best regards,

Use sections for that:

I have an event that change the section to "to be approved", and only the blogger got access to the content in this section below his blog node.

Then, display a button to let him change the section to "standard" if he wants to approve it and make it visible.

I have to publish it as a contrib and I'll try to find the time to do that soon. I'd need a hand for the explaination and some modification on the templates. Anyone ?

Hi,
For my original question in this thread - we solved it by assigning a specific section for every blogger. Then, we used the multiplexer workflow process to control that only one user(the blogger) should have the notification emails, and be able to accept the comments for his blogg.

It´s been working gloriously well for over a year, and now the site has about 20 bloggers.

However - now it turns out that the notification emails once in a while is delivered to the wrong blogger.

An example:
Blogger A gets a comment written for his blogg.
This triggers the workflow system, and the system puts the comment "on hold" for being approved.
An email is sent to the blogger, that he has a comment to approve (this is where it goes wrong - the email goes to another blogger...)
The blogger logs in to eZ Admin and approves the comment.
The comment is published and all is well, besides the problem i described.

Can´t find the source for this problem. Any ideas, someone?

Best regards,
