Dear all,
I do really need help workign with a workflow problem
When an EDitor add an article , it doesn't get publish , that is good, it goes to the administrator for approval and that is fine
Wht is not fine that the admin is not allowed to edit that article
Also wht is not fine that when the Admin approve the article, the article doesn't really go to the desierd place. BUt more than this it goes to know where

I have a dead time for this project, and i don't know how to apply this

1) The editor can not edit the article, he/she can only approve/disapprove it. This is how eZ publish works right now. We'll probably add a feature that allows the editor to edit the article some time in the future.

2) If the article doesn't end up anywhere after an approval, where is it? Can you check in the database? Also, did you remember to run the cronjobs script? This script must be run at frequent intervals since the workflow subsystem depends on it.

HEy
Thnaks,
But i am confused now
1- Is the Editor is the one who has to give the approval? or the ADminsitrator?
What will happen if i removed the editor user?
And
2- Reagrding the webcron, i remmebered to run it , but as if u say i am not able to run it in the right way?

C:\eZpublish\php>php runcronjobs.php
Status: 404
Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.4

That is wh ti get , do u think i wrote the correct command , I am using Windows XP

Sincerely
John MIna

Try something like
C:\eZpublish\php>php c:\eZpublish\eZpublish\runcronjobs.php

The path is supposed to lead to your ez-installation (same dir as the index.php)
With your initial command php failed to find runcronjobs.php in the php-dir.

Good luck!

I'm sorry, but i'm not really into this workflow thing...
When I check the kernel\classes\workflowtypes\event\ezapprove\ezapprovetype.php line 162 it's blank. I'm running 3.3.4 What version of eZ are you running? (I suppose you've not messed around with the kernel-files, so that's not the reason linenumbering dont match mine)

Well, not that it will help me much, but maybe some gurus around here can make more sense of it than I :-)
