Not a easy task to explain my problem, but I'll give it a try...
I'm building feature-rich user profiles on my site using the node profile family-modules. Anyway, in order to make things clean I use my own "edit userprofile" page where users can change there profile information.

My current problem is that every time a user updates his/her profile, the node gets unpublished... because of the code I'm using (found on a tutorial):

<?php
global $user;
if (in_array('administrator',$user->roles)) {
  // This line prints everything, including fields we haven't specified
  print drupal_render($form);
} else {
  // This prints just the fields that we've specified to keep it simple for regular users
  print drupal_render($form['form_token']);
  print drupal_render($form['form_id']);
  print drupal_render($form['preview']);
  print drupal_render($form['submit']);
  print drupal_render($form['delete']);
}
?>

The node gets unpublished when the publishing option isn't printed I guess, since when I remove this part and replace it with just "print drupal_render($form);", it seems to work, but it prints a lot of information I don't want. Is there a way to just print the Publishing option, or is there another way I can fix this?

Thanks

Hook_nodeapi has the capability to set/unset the workflow options. For "published," the name is actually "status." So your code (op='submit' or 'insert') would be node->status = 1;. Fairly simple.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm new to Drupal and not really familiar with the use of the API yet, where do I have to put the code "node->status = 1;"?

hey NeoID!

Have you already found out how to solve this?
It may seem, I'm lazy and just want an out-of-the-box-solution, but thats not true. I've been reading a lot about hook_nodeapi, but just can't get it to work... any further help on how to call this would be very appreciated. Thanks a lot...

Here's an example from a module I wrote. I don't set it, but you should be able to get the idea.

function pinkslip_nodeapi(&$node, $op, $a3 = NULL, $a4 = NULL) {
  if ($node->type != 'pinkslip') { return; }   /* don't do any others */

  switch ($op) {
    case 'submit':
       if (!$node->status) {
        $msg = t('Your Pink Slip article is queued for approval. ');
        if (!user_access('Administer Pink Slip')) { /* see if they can approve it themselves */
          $msg .= t('The admininstrator will decide whether and when it will be published.');
         } /* end if */
        drupal_set_message($msg);
       } /* end status */
...

This goes into a module.
