[solved] Content pages - default to "active"

Hi
Just wondered if there is an option, or an easy way to default new content pages to "inactive" upon creation.

This would enable a publisher to review the pages and set them to active. Otherwise it requires all contributors to remember to set the active flag off - which they  undoubtedly forget.

I am loathe to change the code but cannot find a permission, or a configuration option

Hello,

what about Site Admin -> Default Page -> uncheck "active" ?

For a staging/review/publish workflow, see the Events Manager : you can write code (UDT) connected to (triggered by) events like "new page".

IIRC is the "Modify all pages" the security-setting that allows pages to be activated. Uncheck this, and all created and modified pages, are de-active. Only people with the "Modify all pages" setting can activate the pages.

Real workflow management will be in, in release 2.0.
