Hi Guillaume, I understand some of the concepts to which you're referring, but I'm more of a writer/content guy, so my understanding of the code/scripting is very limited. I'll try to follow along.
I've created a class called ApprovalStatus and made it a static list with the following values: in review|approved|rejected. I created the ApprovalStatusClass Sheet and ApprovalStatusClass Template, as well. Here are some things I would like to be able to do with this class. Can you tell me if these are feasible? 1. Attach the class to the process document template I have already created that users will use when they create new pages. 2. Have the class default to the "in review" value. 3. Make this element invisible to the Users group, but visible and editable to the Supervisors group (for example, a Supervisor would be able to review a page that is "in review," and then if it is acceptable, change the status to "approved"). I'm not sure I completely follow what you're talking about with the script section of your comment. But I would love to learn more. Can you elaborate a bit more, please?

Hi John, - Create a process class with a validation status ("under review", "validated"...) [1] - Create a groovy script that listens for changes of the value of the status property and updates a XWikiRights object attached to the page based on the value of the validation status property [2] - -> when the status changes, the script will apply appropriate rights to the page - -> you can list only "validated" on the homepage of one of your Hope this helps, Guillaume [1] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial [2] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Title+Post+Processing+Using+Groovy On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 8:07 PM, Dale Amon <a...@vnl.com> wrote: > On Tue, Aug 02, 2011 at 05:45:09PM +0000, Campbell, John wrote: > > Hello again, XWiki community. > > > > I am working on using XWiki to be the repository for a library of process > documents that will be added to and updated on a constant basis by members > of our team.
