Marco Caldari	Monday 07 September 2009 3:08:51 am Hello, Following the very interesting article by Nicolas Pastorino found here http://ez.no/developer/articles/ez_publish_knowledge_series_editorial_workflow_with_object_states I have set up an 'object state' workflow on a live website now I have 2 question that maybe someone on the forum has already faced to, 1. The website is live and we have right now some 15k articles that passed to 'bulk_edition' state as I set up the thing, so are not visible by the new anonimous user, it is not possible to maually assign the 'ready_to_live' state to each one of the 15k already published articles, is there a way to mass set 'ready_to_go_live' to all? Something like assign to all the children of some folder the right state? 2. Is it possible to flag with different icons the state of an article in the list view in the admin interface? This would be nice, infact as the admin goes in can see mixed 'ready_to_go_live' and 'bulk_edition' items and he has to view the single object to know its state, maybe this is only a template trick.. Any help is very appreciated, thanks in advance, Marco
Marco Caldari	Monday 07 September 2009 6:20:14 am Here we go, I answer to myself hoping that some ez guru could give more feedback on this topic or maybe add something in the new ez4.2 object states work, 1. To revert already published objects from 'bulk_editor' to 'ready_to_go', in my phpmyadmin: UPDATE ezcobj_state_link SET contentobject_state_id = REPLACE(contentobject_state_id, '3', '4') with 4 corresponding to the 'ready_to_go_live' object state It would be better to assign states from admin panel.. of course. 2. To notify in the Administrator admin panel which objects are waiting to be edited to pass to 'ready_to_go_live state' we added on children_list.tpl on /admin/templates/ the following: {if eq($Nodes.object.state_id_array[3],3)} <img src={'configure.png'\|ezimage} /> {/if} With '3' that is the id for the bulk_editor state, this adds the icon on the side of the items in 'bulk_edition' state and the final editor can easily find them. Thank You, for Your attention, any further contrib is appreciated, Marco

Here we go,
I answer to myself hoping that some ez guru could give more feedback on this topic or maybe add something in the new ez4.2 object states work,

1. To revert already published objects from 'bulk_editor' to 'ready_to_go', in my phpmyadmin:

UPDATE ezcobj_state_link
SET contentobject_state_id = REPLACE(contentobject_state_id, '3', '4')

with 4 corresponding to the 'ready_to_go_live' object state
It would be better to assign states from admin panel.. of course.

2. To notify in the Administrator admin panel which objects are waiting to be edited to pass to 'ready_to_go_live state' we added on children_list.tpl on /admin/templates/ the following:

{if eq($Nodes.object.state_id_array[3],3)}
<img src={'configure.png'|ezimage}  />
{/if}

With '3' that is the id for the bulk_editor state, this adds the icon on the side of the items in 'bulk_edition' state and the final editor can easily find them.
