First before I start, CMF is AWESOME! It has helped me allow users to edit specific types of content assigned to them (e.g. 'news post editor' role edits 'news post' content type nodes). I could not do this before CMF. It was either edit all nodes, or edit none!

One minor issue that I see is that the 'Publishing Options' section of the edit page is not showing up, containing 'published', 'Promoted to front page', and 'Sticky at top of lists' for specific content editing permissions. When an 'administrator' (has 'edit nodes' in permissions checked) logs in, he/she can see those options in a content edit page. When a 'news post editor' logs in, he/she can't see those options.

I use the 'published' checkbox in my view filters. For now, I will be creating a custom 'published' field for all content types and use that for now for visibility in the website views.

If this is not an issue, and I'm just blind, not checking something I need, let me know! Thanks for your feedback in advance. :)

You opened this on an older version. I cannot reproduce this on my current version. Please try the newest version, preferably 6.x-2.x-dev. If it is still a problem, re-open this issue.

NancyDru,
Not a problem. I deleted the cmf module files, uploaded version 6.x-2.x-dev, then ran update.php. No errors, but I am still having the same issue.

Here's what I have checked for my 'Speaker Editor':
...
node module:
[x] access content
[o] administer nodes (not checked)
[x] create speaker content
[x] delete revisions
[x] delete any speaker content
[x] delete own speaker content
[x] edit any speaker content
[x] edit own speaker content
[x] revert revisions
[x] view revisions
...

I can edit speaker content, but don't see the 'published' and other related options unless I check [x] administer nodes. That however gives the speaker editor access to edit anything. :P

Any thoughts? Let me know if I can provide more detailed info in any area.

Thanks again much for your help!

Are you talking about the "Publishing options" field set on the node edit page? If so, that's normal Drupal behavior. And we don't touch that stuff in this module. In another issue there is mention of another module that may allow you to do that.

NancyDru,
Thanks for the info and suggestion. I was able to find a module called Override Node Options that did the trick. This issue is closed. :)
