Hi
i am trying to figure out how to implement such fuctionality: 1. A logged in user is redirected to a page with personalized messages directed to him (easy) 2. A user must confirm that he/she read the message (easy when i.e modifying the poll class) 3. A report must be possible to trace who replied yes and who replied no (also easy as poll is collected info so you can export it to csv)4. NOW THE TRICKY PART - the messages (polls in this example) must either be moved to a different folder (say, archive) of THIS PERSON (belonging to this person) or be moved down the page for this person
Do you have any hints on how to do point 4?thanks

It's hard to move anything but content. I would use a specific content class, with an after publish workflow, and let a specific eventtype do the job

Can you please expand how a workflow should look like?

Hi Lukasz
I don't know what exactly you need, but maybe you should consider creating dedicated extension with module and views for writting/reading messages. Messages wouldn't be as content objects, but just objects created with ezpersitanceobject class and stored with separate db table. Then you will be able to control message flow (reading, responding) by yourself in php code.If you need it to integrate it with some templates you can write custom fetch functions.
