In reply to: [Oasis Workflow] Feature request: "publish"-flag for workflowsOn the update workflow,
how about the following…
Instead of adding a published flag to the workflow, how about adding a “initial status” to the workflow.
If the “initial status” matches with the status of the post/page, its deemed as eligible for submit to the workflow.
this way, it will be more flexible.

In reply to: [Oasis Workflow] Feature request: "publish"-flag for workflowsThis is also a great feature. I’ll look into implementing such a change.
But in the mean time, how about creating a separate workflow to manage published articles.
The user has to select the workflow during submit, and with a little training the users can select the smaller workflow for published articles.
just a thought.

In reply to: [Oasis Workflow] User Interface Improvements1) Preselecting a single option would be great usability improvement. I’ll add that feature.
2) Due Dates – The due dates drive the reminder emails. I’ll make the requested change, but make it configuration driven.
If reminder emails are required, due dates will automatically be required. If not, due dates will not be required.

In reply to: [Oasis Workflow] Is it possible to limit the available workflows by role?Are you using a specific plugin to achieve the following?
“I have multiple authors divided by groups. Each group has its assigned editors and an auditor”
I would like to install/configure the same and see how to relate the same to oasis workflow.

In reply to: [Oasis Workflow] Is it possible to limit the available workflows by role?I was actually planning to add a feature wherein the admin can assign category/ies to the workflow.
Posts/Pages which fall under the specified category will be allowed to flow through the given workflow.
Will that work for your use case?

In reply to: [Oasis Workflow] Possible to Implement This Workflow?As I said, I have already taken care of Point(2).
For Point(3), I have made the required changes to indicate the user, if he/she is the author of the given post.
For automatically sending it back to the creator, – I’m thinking to make it configurable. I’ll add a configuration variable to let the admin configure such a feature. If checked, the only user shown in the list will be the author(if the role matches). If unchecked, it will show all the users who hold that role AND also indicate the creator of the post. – as a future enhancement.
I will be adding some automation in the future, to make the job of the submitter easy (less stuff to pick).
I’ll test the above change in the next couple of days and let you know.

In reply to: [Oasis Workflow] Custom Post TypesSo here’s what I did to make sure custom post types work with oasis workflow.
1. Installed Gravity Forms plugin
2. Installed Custom Post Types plugin and created a custom post type.
3. Installed Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types plugin, so that forms when created will be assigned a specific post type.I created a form and assigned it to be a specific post type.
I then, submitted the form from the front end which resulted into a new entry and a new post of custom post type was created.
When I go under the Custom Post Type left hand side menu (in my case I created a custom post type of ‘Movies’), I could see the new entry.
Selected the entry and was able to submit to a workflow.
Right now, the workflow submission is not automated, but I have plans to make it automatic depending on certain criteria.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have additional questions.

In reply to: [Oasis Workflow] Possible to Implement This Workflow?I have added code to take care of point(1) and checked in the code. I’ll be testing it thoroughly, but it seems to be working fine.
If you download the plugin again, you will get that change.
I’ll look into Point(2) and (3).

In reply to: [Oasis Workflow] Possible to Implement This Workflow?Thanks.
As for point(1) – that’s correct.
As for point(2) and (3), those are good enhancements.
For point(2) – I will filter out the user list before displaying it. Should be simple.For point(3) – I will think about it. May be add a dummy user to the select list called “creator”. If its picked, the post will be send back to the “creator”.
