2 workflows on the same trigger

Thursday 11 February 2010 9:48:12 am

Hi,

1°/ I would like to know if we can link 2 workflows ("Moderation of comments - Event/Approve" and "Delay publish - Event/Wait until") with the same trigger (content/publish/before) ?

What should I do for my 2 workflow work ?

2°/ On an ez 42 webin test installation I try to setup a single worflow with "Wait until" event. But it doesen't work (hide and unpublidh work fine).

I try to setup this workflow for the defaut article (ID=17) class object which comes with ezwebin.

a/ I create, in the "Standard" workflow group, a new process named "Attendre"

b/ I select the "Article" class (and click to "Update attributs")

c/ I select the "Publish date" attribut (ans click to "Select attribut")

d/ I validate with Ok

e/ In the Trigger page I link "Attendre" with "Content/publidh/before"

When I create a new article and I specify a publish date, the article is sent to My account->Pendding elements.

But the command:

php runcronjobs -s test

<code>

Using siteaccess test for cronjob
Running cronjobs/unpublish.php
Running cronjobs/rssimport.php
Running cronjobs/indexcontent.php
Starting processing pending search engine modifications

Running cronjobs/hide.php
Running cronjobs/subtreeexpirycleanup.php
Running cronjobs/internal_drafts_cleanup.php
Cleaning up internal drafts...

</code>

has no effect and the article is never published.

I don't understand what is the matter.

Thank's for your help

As Robin stated, by default the workflow cronjob is part of the frequent group (or 'part', in ez parlance)

the command is: php runcronjobs -s test frequent

As for wait+approve, just add the two events in the same workflow. Put approve first, otherwise approvers will have to wait before being able to approve. The end result is that content will have to be approved first and then wait until the established date before it is shown.

In fact, the solution proposed by Gaetano works perfectly for what I wish to achieve.

Thanks again for your help.
