Workflow approvals and content versioning

Cobalt has version control built-in. Enable it in cntent type para,eters and also admin approval in content type parameters.

Hi,

That's very good news. I can see where to enable content versioning. But where can I restore/rollback? Is there a tutorial for this?

Also is there some more information about how workflow approvals can be setup?

Thanks

Create Cobalt Audit Log menu element and all will be there.

pepperstreet Is this a feature or a bug? ;)

Feature. Version control only for people with special privileges.

Hi,

Version control is working nicely, few questions though:

• How do I set permissions to users and groups? Is this only possible on the front end?
• When creating new items with a user that doesn't have privleges to publish, the item is created unpublished. This is great, how do I set this up to also happen with edits? I want to give some users privelges to make edits, but a moderator must approve those edits before they are published.

Thanks

In type parameters there are separate options for autoapprove on create and edit too.

Thanks I had seen those optinos and set them to no, but the issue is I have created a registered user but they are unable to edit any content.

Content is created by super users in this case, it may be created by registered users later - but anyone with edit priveleges needs to be able to edit any content on the site regardless of who it was created by - their edits [if they only have edit, but not publishing priveleges] should be approved by an admin before they are pushed live onto the site.

Any ideas how to do this?

I added who can edit parameter in type submission section. Will be there with next update on Thursday.

Yes we can wait until thursday.

Hi,

The new version adds the who can edit, which is good - now I can set the user groups that are allowed to edit. But there is no approval, despite auto approve edited articles being set to NO.

When a user with non super user priveleges edits an article, the changes need to be approved before they go live. Urgently need to get this sorted, is there something I'm missing or just another bug in the component?

Thanks

I realised the user was in the publisher group, so I set the user to registered group.

Who can edit is set to registered, who can moderate is set to super users.

Registered users cannot edit anything.

To sort your issue please give me your site login access. Also tell me what is type name we are talking about. And link on frontend where those types are listed. Also registered user or author access credential and instruction how to reproduce error.

Because I read this whole topic and I kinda lost. Cannot understand what is your real problem.

Hi which email address can I send you login details on? All registered users need to be able edit content of all types and sections, these edits then need to be approved by an admin.

You can post it here in private comment.
