Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there is a clean way to get around this core feature:

"Once the moderators have published the content, authors should be prevented from modifying it while “live”, but they should be able to submit new revisions to their moderators."

I would like the authors to be able to modify while "live", i would like to only review once and then they can modify whatever they want.

Thanks a lot ! Sylvain

Hi Sylvain
Give them the permission to publish, after you've done that first review.That should do it.

Hi Rik !
Thanks a lot for your answer! I'm not sure to fully understand you point.
Should it be under admin/people/permissions > Publish revisions of own content ? That would not allow my users to publish on the first time yes ?
Thanks ! Sylvain

Oops.. still have sleep in my eyes. Brain not functioning.

You need a per-user solution. What I suggested is a per-role solution.
So won't work.

No the module doesn't support your scenario out of the box. You'll have to write a patch for it to do that.

Sorry.

Hi Rik! Thanks a lot :)

Actually i'm fine with doing a per-role solution. Let me explain again to be sure: I want to be able to moderate content when a registered user submit a new node and then if the node is "live" they should be able to modify the same content without moderation.

@svanou

You'd create (or re-used) a content type for which the Published tick box is UNTICKED.
Your user would be able to create content of that type but it would not be published.
You as a moderator would assess that content, change it if necessary and then publish it (ticking the Published box on that content, prior to saving it).
Then the user can modify it from there on.

You would have to set up permissions for this user role and for the moderator role.
