 Description   

Since m3 offers activation and approval steps, it would be nice if a user (editor for instance) that submits page for activation (notification) could enter a comment describing what his intentions, changes were.
Administrator ( superuser ) decides if the activation should be approved or rejected and puts another comment that's being returned to the inbox of the user (editor - activator). This is very useful for the rejected activations.

Both comments should be optional in order to preserve the current functionality.

During rejection the supervisor can pass a comment (edit the item in the inbox). But this is not a good solution in the sense of usability. So the changes to made are:

  • proceed opens the edit box
  • buttons are proceed and cancel (save and cancle in the case one clicked edit instead of proceed)

In addition we need to pass a comment in the moment when the editor activates (starts the workflow). I don't know how we can solve this nicely, but we need to find a solution for that.

If a user starts a workflow (activation) a comment dialog is shown

Comment by Boris Kraft [ 29/Jul/08 ]

It seems to me that this comment box is always shown, even if we have no workflow enabled. This should not be the case, as without workflow, there is no use in an additional step.

Comment by Philipp Bracher [ 29/Jul/08 ]

if you don't install the workflow module the dialog is not shown as expected. But once the module is installed the dialog appears no matter how the command chain is configured. To get rid of the dialog you have to change the tree configuration back to the default value.
