Any way to list all the nodes to approve?

Not currently from what I'm seeing. A view would present this though. I'm likely going to have to produce for for the current job. If so I'll bundle it with the module.

I have worked on this and it is actually already possible, when you chose node-revisions as base table. There is a strange permission issue though

To be more clear, i have build a dashboard using panels + views were you can see:
- the last approved documents
- the documents waiting to be aproved
- the documents waiting to be reviewd
- the documents which have been changed lately ( and are moderated )

I think those kind of a dashboard should be shipped with content moderation as its kind of high need for everybody

Agreed.

Currently the way we're working on this is to build a view with VBO and filter on taxonomy/content-type for the different depts to access what they need.

VBO allows for bulk publishing also.

One thing I'm not seeing though is the moderation state exposed to Views for filtering or display. Is this right, or am I just missing it?

Will check a few more issues and see if I can find it. If not, I may have some more patches soon.

its only their if you chose node_revision as base table, as revisions have states, not nodes. But actually i see your point. currently, you could not judge what state a node would have. Live, review? this could only work on nodes somehow, or some kind of special logic.

I think this dasboard should be a submodules, VBO is a good idea also. ( submodule because it will because a feature including a panel maybe and all the views.

I like the idea of the dashboard as a sub module. Allows for different dependancies than the base module also.

Checking out the node_revision base table thing for views now...

Eugen, we were discussing this last night at the Drupal meetup here in Wellington.

The response was Features. :) If you've already built this export it as a feature. It'll save a lot of hand coding.

Yes, the feature is already created, but the view has a permission bug. I will work on this and then re-export it as a sub-feature.

I need this feature, if you will send me (or to the repository) I could help you.

Repo is here. Just fork / patch
