Hi Alessandro,

There really is nothing more to document about the workflow event. The only installation steps required are those that are listed in the Readme.

If you're looking for help about the mailinglist.ini: The commented lines in the file explain the generic idea. For each class that has mailinglist attributes, you create a new section in the ini file. Example: if class 22 is the one you want to go through the workflow, just add [Class_22] to the ini file.

Then you simple define which attributes of the class contain the email addresses you want to use, and you do that for each section in the ini file.

Attributes[] -> makes sure the array is empty for each class, so no settings from other classes can accidently slip into the array for another class.

Attributes[]=authors -> adds an entry for that class. In this exmple it means that the class has an attribute with the identifier "authors". The workflow event will send an email to all email addresses found in that attribute. The content of the email depends on the template. You can have multiple attributes per class.
