Hello,
I have not seen this anywhere else, but I like the scheduler.module for changing publication status based on a date, how hard would it be to run a workflow using scheduler.module (or something)?

Also, this patch Draft is really useful, so how hard would it be to create a scheduler.module task that would change the node.vid to change the draft document to current? If this could be done, then a revised document could be introduced in an automated and timed manner.

My preference would be that workflow could perform this task and that workflow processing could be kicked off by scheduler.module
Thanks.

Writing the scheduler for workflows and actions is more userful than anything that could be done with an individual module. I suggest the author consider porting thier work to work with that instead of having a standalone module. Something plugging into actions/workflows is MUCH more powerful than anything on its own.

I am also interested in scheduling workflows and actions. TDobes, or whoever is maintaining this module, is this something you are considering?

+1 This feature is really required for many reasons.

Just need exactly this:

_ workflow + actions
_ scheduler

All I want is to schedule nodes as result of workflow actions

See the Views Scheduler project.

sorry folks, but views_scheduler does something different

I needed a scheduler_action to trigger in my workflow

I created a couple of functions that I used as workflow actions... interesteD?

Why don't you figure out a solution, cemper? You have the motivation.

notice this patch only has the stuff to schedule a node via a workflow action.

what I haven't done yet is changing the workflow state from a scheduler trigger, but I wanted to implemented that already yesterday...

Add to TODO.txt

Making this issue "postponed" as I wish to concentrate on Drupal5 compat and any ensuing bugs. Once stable, I will return to these issues as outlined in the projects TODO.txt file

Please followup to #276376: Make scheduler more generic? which would implement this feature in a generic fashion.
