Approval Workflow

Wednesday 15 June 2005 5:56:34 am

Hi!

I've got some trouble with approval workflows on our site (http://pluspunkt.at). I haven't got root access and no CLI PHP. I have so far edited the workflow scripts to allow them to be run via the normal web PHP.

My cronjobs are run from index.php since I don't know whether I would need to tell my ISP to set up the cronjobs. Since I doubt that they would work from the command line if there's no CLI PHP, I haven't done this yet.

Almost everything works fine, except that items (comments) that are /denied/ sometimes still show up as published. I haven't been able to determine the exact cause of this, but I guess it's some kind of race condition between the notification and workflow cronjob.

Does anyone in here know more about this phenomenon (and hopefully a workaround/fix)?

Greetings,

Peter
