Hi everyone,
I''m trying to give some users the ability to add new contents. I need some fields to be programmaticly filled. However, i can't use hidden fields to do that since it would'nt be secure (anyone watching the html could see it and put any value he want instead of the programmed value). Is there a way to do this with workflow, triggered everytime a new content of specific class is published ?

You could try filling the hidden fields with encrypted values. Dont know if that might be worth the effort.

Hi Stephane

Are the fields "content" fields? If so then populating them with workflow should not be an issue. Contributed workflows like http://ez.no/community/contribs/workflow/personal_folder should give you some clues on how to build this.

Cheers
Bruce
