Upgrade to Drupal 6

Yes, an upgrade is planned. No, it has not been replaced by the confusingly-named workflow-ng, which is a different module.

Here's a rough patch that updates Workflow to D6. workflow_access is NOT yet converted, but the core module should be testable.

I converted the workflow_access .install file but the workflow_access module itself needs some work yet related to changes in D6. Committed to HEAD as a steppingstone to full 6.x compatibility.

I've got a problem with using this module. After applying patch (or using head version from CVS) I receive "Access Denied" message for any link. Any ideas - why?

HEAD is not ready for use. Actually, HEAD is never ready for use. It's the unstable place where new features are tested. It is recommended that you use an official release, or use HEAD or dev (for the Drupal 5 branch) if you want to participate in testing and development. We do not currently have an official release for Drupal 6, but there will be one in the future.

What's your estimate for the offical D6 branche? For content heavy sites the workflow module is essential!

I would also like to know whats the time estimate on D6 official module

Any news on when the D6 Branche is being created. I really need this modul. Even if it's still buggy, it makes it easier to test and to write patches for. I'm willing to test and patch, but rather would have an official Branche

The D6 branch is already created, though the code there is not ready and improvements from the D5 branch (where development has been happening) have not yet been merged in. I think the D5 series is pretty much baked. There is one more release coming for D5, with a better UI (see http://drupal.org/node/254114 ). Test the May 6 5.x-2.x-dev snapshot and give feedback in that issue if you want to help.

The next step after that release will be to merge the new features with the D6 branch and we'll have our first D6 release. Right now I have some deadlines that have first priority.

John, you say there is a D6 branch already created, but I don't see it (http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/workflow/).

Dave, you are right. What I should have said was that a commit towards D6 compatibility has been made on HEAD, and D5 development has branched. From here we need D5 split into separate files (like a workflow.admin.inc), tackle the couple o' bugs remaining in the D5 queue, then painfully merge the D5 version with HEAD to produce the 1.0 release for D6.

Right, painful, as all Drupal upgrades are. I'll stay tuned to this thread but don't expect to have time to contribute much. I played with the HEAD branch and had to make some changes just to get it near working. Attaching a diff.

Personnally I would have been happy if the core trigger and action modules of D6 allowed me to receive an email each time a specific node-type was created, so I could go and publish it if necessary. But the core module don't allow for node-type specific actions. I don't want to receive an email each time any node-type is created!

subscribing.

Aplologies for the lack of a diff here folks.

I have done a little more work on Eaton's files around the form API & have managed to get some workflows operating in conjuction with d6 triggers and actions. I can publish and unpublish nodes via workflow and send emails, though not to %author

Hope this goes some way towards getting a d6 version of workflow
