Implementing an approval mechanism
These documentation pages are no longer maintained. Please visit the new documentation site.
The guestbook that we've created so far allows anonymous people to "publish" arbitrary information on the TSCM website. Sometimes this is a good idea, sometimes it is not. A classic example is that malicious people misuse such functionality to post tasteless and/or offensive text. To prevent this problem, we could make use of some sort of a mechanism that ensures the approval of content before it is published. eZ publish provides a built-in workflow system that is designed to deliver such functionality (and a lot more). Please note that the workflow system is huge and complex. In this part of the tutorial, we will only use it to create a simple workflow for the purpose of demonstration and learning. However, I'm sure that you'll quickly understand and discover the wonderful possibilities of the eZ publish workflow engine.
