Workflow tab doesn't load in admin theme

same question...

Not by default within the module as far as I know. It would take additional code.

Since this request is over a year old, I'm going to assume a solution was found or you've moved on. If not, please get updated to the latest versions of all modules and make a request for it against Drupal 7 and I'll be glad to take a look at it.

Faced the same situation on 7.x-1.1. Managed to open workflow tab on admin theme using the following custom code:

function hook_admin_paths() {
  $paths['node/*/workflow'] = TRUE;
  return $paths;
}

Would be nice to have this by default on workflow module, since the workflow is an administrative feature, not something to show to your end users.

On my big site, it is, indeed, something the end users access. And they don't want it (or edit) in the admin theme.

We could, perhaps do something like this:

/**
 * Implements hook_admin_paths_alter().
 * If node edits are done in admin mode, then workflow will be too.
 */
function workflow_admin_paths_alter(&$paths) {
  if (isset($path['node/*/edit'])) {
    $path['node/*/workflow'] = $path['node/*/edit'];
  }
}

For better or worse, this got committed.

Makes sense. Thanks!

The proposed patch in #5 is committed as such, but that cannot work due to a typo in the argument.

This function also needs to be adapted for all entity types, just like workflow_menu_alter already does.

I encountered a test situation, and fixed the typo.

In D8, the hook workflow_admin_paths_alter(&$paths) will not workfr any more, so this functionality is lost in D8, until it is repaired.
The hook will be removed from workflow.module.
See #1316692: Convert hook_admin_paths() into declarative properties on routes for the relevant D8-change. I could not find a change notice.

The current code is :

/**
 * Implements hook_admin_paths_alter().
 *
 * If entity edits are done in admin mode, then workflow history tab will be too.
 *
 * @todo: add support for every $entity_type.
 */
function workflow_admin_paths_alter(&$paths) {
  if (isset($paths['node/*/edit'])) {
    $paths['node/*/workflow'] = $paths['node/*/edit'];
  }
  if (isset($paths['user/*/edit'])) {
    $paths['user/*/workflow'] = $paths['user/*/edit'];
  }
}

In Drupal 8, routes must be declared as admin routes. Please see the attached patch.

CI failed the last two times for some reason.

Committed. Thanks.
