Hi,

I am working on drupal5 and want to add functionality of share Editing, i.e. edit the content of project BEFORE and AFTER publishing the content of the project. I did try different combination and try to edit node.module but no luck. Has any one implemented this.

Thanks
Ris

Avoid editing the node.module or any core modules.
I am not sure I understand the issue? You can edit content (of a project which is presumably a content type) before and after it has been published. There are actions/triggers for Drupal that can occur as a result of another action. Depends...really what your steps for editing and rules are. It's not clear to me anyway.

Thanks for your comment, tiptoes. The project Rishi and I work on requires people jointly editing nodes. There are only a few editors per node, but it is important that they can all edit the node.

We are using the Coherent Access module to allow for shared editing of nodes and that works fine. However, it only works after the node has been published - until then only the author can edit it. Our workflow, however, requires shared editing before publication and we are looking for a solution to that.

Drupal only seems to allow the main administrator and the author of a node to access it in unpublished state. So what we would need to do is create a new permission or set of permission that allows people to view and edit unpublished nodes they are not the authors of. Drupal 5 does have a permission allowing you that, but it is not on a per node basis and we cannot allow all our users to have the permission to edit and delete all content.

What we want to do is create a module that does that, we are just at a loss about how to approach this task. Any input would be appreciated!
