  1. This is a re-implementation of the Workflow module, using the Field API instead of the Form API.
  2. The field definition (and widget and formatters) is implemented as lazy-loading classes in the main workflow module.
  3. The activation of the Field type is done in the submodule Workflow_field,
  4. as stated in https://drupal.org/node/1285540 "Field types should be defined by one module and implemented by a separate module."
  5. ONLY USE THIS MODULE IF:
  6. - you are happy with the features the Workflow core API provides
  7. (not all persons may choose from all possible values at all moments.)
  8. - you want to test and help developing this submodule.
  9. The current version supports:
  10. - the default Workflow API.
  11. - Workflow Admin UI, which manages CRUD for Workflows, States and Transitions.
  12. - Workflow Access, since this works via Workflow API.
  13. The current version provides:
  14. - adding a Workflow Field on an Entity type (Node type), or a Node Comment;
  15. - usage of the core formatter from the List module (just showing the description of the current value);
  16. - usage of the core widgets from the Options module (select list, radio buttons);
  17. - usage of the usual Workflow Form, which contains also a Comment text area and Scheduling options.
  18. - changing the 'Workflow state' value on a Node Edit page.
  19. - changing the 'Workflow state' value via a Node's Comment.
  20. The current version DOES NOT provide:
  21. - support for other submodules from the Workflow module. (At least, this is not tested.)
