Problem with State of new articles [SOLVED]

Hi,

i create with Flexiaccess a group of user wich have access only to a single category. Here they should add articles with State "Waiting for Approval". Therefore i set these state in Settings of Flexicontent under items in Field FlexiNewItemState as default.

Now the user log in Backend and see only there items and category. But if they try to add a new item, these has always the state "in Progress".
That means these content will directly shown without a Worklow of a redaction wich approve these entry ;-(

I use Joomla 1.5.23, FC 1.5.5 stable (r607) and FA 1.0.5

Any help was welcome

Hello,

I am building a site, for which i need the same thing or similar, i will look into it the next 2-4 days.

Has anyone else a suggestion or knowledge of this?

Regards

Hello,

Still have not done this. But i need to do it too.

Regards

Because i will not everytime "nerv" ggppdk the question to the rest of forum users. Did anyone has the same situation:
value of State are still on "in Progress", also if in basic setting the Default State was set f.e. to "Waiting for Approval"?

And has anyone an idea to avoid these problem?

Argghh, the language string is wrong !!!

When you select new state as "Waiting for Approval" you actually set state to "In progress" which is a published state !!!

Goto and edit the file:
administrator/components/com_flexicontent/config.xml
locate line: change to:
(*So you need to set your config to pending=unapproved)

Then goto your admin(backend) language files: e.g. administrator/language/en-GB/com_flexicontent/en-GB.com_flexicontent.ini

AND SET STRINGS:
FLEXI_IN_PROGRESS=In progress (Published to be completed)
FLEXI_TO_WRITE=Draft (Unpublished to be written)
FLEXI_ARCHIVED=Archived (Unpublished is outdated content)
FLEXI_PENDING=Pending (Unpublished to be approved)

And at Flexicontent back-end, for the slider listing the unapproved content:
FLEXI_UNAPPROVED=Pending (Waiting for publication approval)

Do this for all your languages.

No need to change front-end language files.

I will commit changes to both FlexiContent v1.5.6 and v2.0.
A lot of trouble for one wrong language string.

Hi ggppdk,

works perfect!!!!

Many tnx for your work!

Bye the way, i try to check tommorrow the language files for a "good german" translation.

What about these,

you think they are better:

FLEXI_IN_PROGRESS=In progress :: Published
FLEXI_TO_WRITE=Draft :: Unpublished
FLEXI_ARCHIVED=Archived :: Unpublished
FLEXI_PENDING=Pending Approval :: Unpublished

And at Flexicontent back-end, for the sliders:

FLEXI_PENDING_SLIDER=Pending Approval:: Waiting to for publication approval
FLEXI_DRAFT_SLIDER=Draft :: Unpublished, Waiting to be written
FLEXI_IN_PROGRESS_SLIDER=In progress :: Published, waiting to be completed

Note: the language strings for the sliders don't exist now instead the state strings are used now FLEXI_TO_WRITE and FLEXI_IN_PROGRESS, and one that is not state the FLEXI_UNAPPROVED

Hi, here my proposal for a german translation.

FLEXI_IN_PROGRESS=Rohfassung:: veröffentlicht
FLEXI_TO_WRITE=Entwurf:: unveröffentlicht
FLEXI_ARCHIVED=Archiv:: unveröffentlicht
FLEXI_PENDING=Wartet auf Freigabe :: unveröffentlicht

FLEXI_PENDING_SLIDER=Wartet auf Freigabe:: Wartet auf Freigabe für die Veröffentlichung
FLEXI_DRAFT_SLIDER=Entwurf:: unveröffentlicht, wartet auf Bearbeitung
FLEXI_IN_PROGRESS_SLIDER=Rohfassung :: veröffentlicht, wartet auf Fertigstellung

Thank you, i will include these translations.

Regards

thanks for sharing !
