Extend MCMS workflow - Alert Moderators on any change to pos |
|
|
I have a new user requirement to extend the workflow of MCMS to always
alert moderators on any page change. MCMS out of the box will alert
moderators on changes to page properties.
What I envisioned would be to create a custom page property for each of
our templates, name if "Moderator Approved" for example.
When the author submits a posting, this page property will be changed
to False. Since a page property has been modified, the Moderator
should always be alerted, be required to approve.
On Moderator approval, the Moderator Approved value will change to
True.
It sounds simple. In fact, so simple that I thought I should pass it
to you guys.
Does it sound like this will work?
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Randel
You could also use the workflow event handlers to do the job, specifically
the CmsPosting_PropertyChanged and CmsPosting_Submitted and event handlers.
The Posting.WaitingForModeratorApproval flag may also be useful. In that way,
you won't have to create the custom property.
