Hey everyone,

This sounds like a module with a lot of potential. I'm interested in doing some testing, but because it's a relatively new module, I'm curious about whether the maintainer plans on porting this to Drupal 7 sometime in the not-so-distant future (perhaps near the Drupal 7 stable release date).

Most of the new sites we're developing will be Drupal 7 sites, so I just wanted to get a sense whether a D7 port was already on the radar, or if all development work will be focused on D6.

Thanks,
Ben

Hello,

developement work will focus on D6 for at least 4 month after the D7 release. This module makes no sense in a enviroment which is not stable.

Anyway porting to D7 can be done earlier, eventhoug it depends on the interest of the users.

@EugenMayer: Dries reckons that the current d7 versions are more stable than the d6.0 release was. It would definitely be good to get this ported to drupal 7, and at least get a dev release out before d7.0 is released.

I will start looking at a patch. No guarantees, at this stage - I haven't even used the module before.

Awesome. Use github tzo collaborate, maybe others can help out at this stage so we can have something working.

Thanks for getting this task on its way, i also will try to help here.

One thing I'm trying to understand is how the changes to the Node Access system in D7 affect the architecture of this module (given that the node access system now checks unpublished content)...

There's a video (from DrupalCon San Francisco) on this that I'm part way through:

Well there is not much to deal with, only the override of node/%/edit and its page_callback. The other things are very trivial and are not related to the access api at all

Just checking back in to see if any more planning have been done for the D7 port...

Thanks,

Now that Drupal 7 RC1 is out, I thought I'd check back in. I'm happy to volunteer extensive and comprehensive testing if someone can get an initial port underway. I'm heavily involved (on a daily basis) in the Private Message and Userpoints D7 ports and could do the same for Content Moderation in D7.

Actually a lot of people tried / doing ports of content moderation, but most of them do not coordinate at all. So i rather ends up in a lot of forks rather then a cm D7 version.

That way a lot of fixes / features are already missing in the D7 forks, and also vice versa, some new things are missing on the cm D6 part.

@EugenMayer: Thanks for the explanation. So do you plan to start another D7 branch from scratch to re-coordinate?

I took a look at your github repository and saw DRUPAL-7, DRUPAL-7-clean, DRUPAL-7-clean-block, and DRUPAL-7-default-state... What is the difference between these branches?

Those are exactly those "uncoordinated" forks and will be removed further on, so please dont use them or expect them to be the official(maintained) version.

Hi Eugen,

long time no see, I know. But since D7 is out and running I am requested to update various client sites some of which use your cm module (specially modified though in most cases).

So I am back and willing to contribute again some scripts, enhancements and functionalities. By looking at the current stable release code I am not quite sure whether the D7 version should be started from scratch or not. I didn't look into the various D7 branches at github yet. Starting in February I should have some spare time to work on cm module, but we could start a road map before that and decide what general way should be taken.

Regards,
Paul

It doesn't look like there have been many commits to this module lately... is there still a plan to port to D7 or has that been postponed?

Thanks,
Ben

Well please just dont look at the CVS commits but rather on the github commits :)

Iam not planning to port cm to D7 before 3rd quartal of this year. The only way doing this before is funding.

Funding?

Okay, how about letting us know what you would consider a good amount?
I cannot take it over all by myself, but if we all contribute, why not?

I don't mind paying for functionality I cannot provide myself.

Who else would contribute?

http://drupal.org/project/workbench looks more promising.

Yeah, please at least update the project's page to point people to alternatives for D7. Workbench indeed seems like a promising project especially when combined with Workbench Moderation.

Another great module with more than 3 times as many users as Workbench is Workflow. It also seems to be updated more often and has both a D6 & D7 versions available.

eugenmayer commented

- workflow is a completly unmaintained project and does not provide you with revision moderation. The last D6 update is more then a year. Workflow has a completly differnt goal as content_moderation and does not replace it, but rather you can combine them ( and we do soe )
- workbench is something you def want to give a try in D7

workflow is a completly unmaintained project...

I know its maintenance status is set to "Minimally maintained", but taking a look at its commit history I saw that Bastlynn has made 59 commits in the past 2 months or so. Also, I saw that both its D7 & D6 dev versions were last updated a few days ago. On the other hand, Workbench's commit history shows less then 10 commits over a period of the past 8-4 months. That's why I said it *seems* to be updated more often.

Anyways, the point was that people looking for a D7 alternative can turn to these two - either one.
