<Bdragon> Note that there are checkboxes for State A -> State A
<Bdragon> Before, there was a blank space
<Bdragon> So the author is allowed to go from creation to pending (this transition happens automatically)
<Bdragon> And from pending to pending
<Bdragon> and from active to pending
* Bdragon checks not active -> not active for author
<Bdragon> Additionally, the node is now always published, it's just that users can't see it when it's not in the active state
<Bdragon> Unless they are the author or a moderator
<Ryan> Nice. :)
<Ryan> We really need to make a better display out of it, and make a central page that provides all of the links for both users and moderators
<Bdragon> If a moderator goes to the node, they have the interface in the edit or workflow tab just like that....
<Bdragon> If a user goes to one of their nodes, they get an edit tab too
<Bdragon> What do you mean by "central page?"
<Ryan> for moderators, for example, a page where there's a link to manage listings, with pending listings as a default selection (since that's what we'll be doing most).. eventually we'll also add a link for the hosting we'll be doing too, along with a few other things.
<Bdragon> Like what I started on at http://www.roleplay.net/test/?q=backend/community ?
<Bdragon> So like a landing zone kind of thing
<Bdragon> Edit my stuff... Make new stuff... [Moderate stuff..]
<Ryan> hmm
<Ryan> that might actually work
<Ryan> but yeah
<Ryan> a link to that
<Ryan> eventually
<Bdragon> That's a bunch of views glued together as tasks
<Bdragon> heh
<Ryan> we're going to need something JUST like this, except for hosting, too. And it'll need to be separate from this.
<Ryan> is the execute php stuff part of the devel package?
<Bdragon> Yeah, you're #1 so you see it, and I have the developer role so I see it
<Ryan> okay..
<Bdragon> It can't be accessed by anyone else for obvious reasons
<Ryan> So then I guess next would be a page for users to search from. They'll need to select a category first.
<Ryan> Keep in mind though
<Ryan> IRC Roleplaying is one of many categories that may exist.
<Ryan> So they'll need to click on IRC Roleplaying
<Bdragon> Sure, I imagine each "category" in this context being a different content type
<Ryan> and -then- they can search with the IRC roleplaying criteria
<Ryan> right
<Ryan> we could have, for example
<Ryan> IRC Roleplaying
<Ryan> and
<Ryan> Live Action Roleplaying
<Ryan> and
<Ryan> World of Warcraft Guilds
<Ryan> etc
<Ryan> each with different search parameters.
<Bdragon> Yeah
<Ryan> I'm guessing
<Ryan> this will be the trickiest part.
<Bdragon> Well, we'd just use a different search view for each
<Ryan> I mean the display
<Ryan> figuring how to set up the view
<Ryan> how to condense the data
<Ryan> etc
<Bdragon> Yeah.. Luckily it's easy to tweak
<Ryan> decide what data to put on the initial search results and what to put on it when you click the result
<Bdragon> Well, when you click it it shows the node
<Ryan> we'll probably want to customize the way it looks
<Bdragon> Sure
<Bdragon> That can be done on a content-type by content-type basis, btw
<Bdragon> Even a node by node basis for really "special" nodes
<Ryan> We'll definitely want to reduce the font size for search engine results only, and limit it to 5-10 per page
<Bdragon> Well, the limiting is easy
<Bdragon> I think it's currently set to 10
<Bdragon> per page
<Ryan> we may want to take advantage of using columns
<Ryan> I don't know.
<Bdragon> It's malleable
