Issue Summary
I am having trouble seeing how to use this module. I've installed it, turned on "SignIt" and "SignIt Profile" modules, turned on all permissions associated with it for my user... but it still seems incomplete. I hope this is not "user error".
In particular, the admin/settings/signit page (which I discovered in the signit_menu() function) is not showing up in my menu, or on the administration page. I can navigate directly to that page, but even after activating various things in there, I don't see any UI artifacts that I can use to set up a petition.
Two UI items are showing up:
- the "signit overview" page, at admin/signit, which gives me an empty list of signatures collected, and
- a "signatures" tab at the top of my nodes, which also provide empty lists.
But I can't see anything else, including how to create a signit, or turn on signit capabilities for an existing node. Is there something I'm not seeing here?
BTW, I am having the same problem on an active site (with lots of stuff installed), as well as on a clean install of Drupal 5.5 (PHP Version 5.2.3) which I set up to test this free of any other interference.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

I just installed Signit and noticed the same issue.
The problem you're having is that SignIt is a Content Type Enhancement. Go to Administer › Content management › Content types and select (Node Page for example). There you will see a SignIt check-box to enable the feature for Page nodes.
A) It would be nice if a note such as this was added to the readme.
B) Better than A, it would be nice if a Help note were on the Signit Overview page.
Cheers!

Thanks, Cozzi! That worked like a charm.
Yes, please, can the owners update the README? This is just basic how-to instructions-- people shouldn't be made to scour the entire Drupal UI-space looking for new things that can be turned on.
It seems like a very nice module, but nobody is going to learn to love it if just getting it running is such a big challenge.
