I just installed the workflow module on 4.6.2, and it appears to be working fine. I wondered however, how difficult it would be to integrate the workflow 'states' into the update options under 'drupal/admin/node.' This way, if I want set to 'review' multiple pages using the workflow settings, I can do it from the admin/node page in one fell swoop.

Or, perhaps creating an independant workflow page which allows me to view pages at various stages, and then update with checkboxes and a drop down.

I would be happy to write code, but I am a designer, not a coder, and I know almost nothing about php, though using drupal is certainly forcing me to learn. No hurry, just a suggestion.

Thanks for your consideration...

Title: Move multiple pages through a state at once? » Bulk update state info across multiple nodes

good suggestion.

Indeed this is a good idea. However, I'm postponing any issues that are not necessary in the 4.7-1.0 or 5.0-1.0 releases.

Status: Postponed » Active

on admin/content/node it is very easy to add update operations via hook_node_operations() but very hard to add new criteria. so you could move a bunch of nodes into a given state (for example), but you couldn't select everything in a given state.

i have a terrific idea for how to fix this: http://drupal.org/node/125810

Hi,

This ticket was last updated over 4 years ago, and hasn't seen additional work since then. Based on that, and that development is now progressing on Drupal 7, I'm going to go ahead and close this one out. If you would still like to see this feature, please post a request for Drupal 7, then we can work on the Drupal 6 version.
