Hello, sorry I feel quite moron. I installed on a new drupal site the e-journal module, create a journal and a new issue, but now I am quite lost in setting the permissions, the roles and where to find the newly created journal.
I saw e-journal has lots of "permissions" (not roles).
To make an example I created a role in drupal named "ejournal-1 author" and associated it with the permission "ejournal-1 author". From the e-journal settings I checked and recreated the permissions, but still I can't make authors post a new "article" content-type. Do I have to manually set the permissions in the standard drupal way? If so, which is the meaning of the permissions within the e-journal module?
Not only I don't know how to add a new article but I don't know even how to reach the (first and only) journal. In fact, in the "Journal path:" I selected "review", but if I surf on htttp://example.com/review I have a page not found error.
More in general, which is the advantage of the e-journal module compared with an usage of standard drupal modules like CKK, events, node reference and view ?? (I mean: what can I do with e-journal that I can't do with just a deep setting of these common modules?)

I hope to not been misundersttood.. I am only try to understand the "features" of this module, as the only example reported is a Chzeck site (and I don't speak Chzeck ;-) )..

Hi,

permissions:
- users must have general rights to add/edit/update content type (eg. article)
- ON TOP of that, you can select with ejournal permissions what they are allowed to do BEFORE the issue is published and AFTER is published
- make sure that your journal is 'published'

to reach:
try: /ejournal/1

comparison:
ejournal organizes content into issues and helps you handle the process (thus it is used by journals that publish things ir/regularly - with the review, etc)
in fact, ejournal is used often together with CKK and views

if you search in the issues and drupal site, you can find links to other sites using ejournal

hth,

It would be useful to have a list compiled with links to public ejournal sites.
