SilverStripe

Enforce workflow rules on how content gets published, while ensuring the CMS remains easy to use for content authoring.

See https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-cmsworkflow

Introduction

Adds a publishing workflow to the CMS, in which content authors can request publication from a group of administrators. The permissions for content ownership and publication are configurable on a page-by-page basis. The module acts on top of the built-in staging/live workflow. It is modeled closely to fit a document-based sequential publication context.

Features at a glance

• Provides 2 step and 3 step workflow whilst keeping the CMS easy to use
• Configure workflows by organising users into groups and roles, and subsequently assigning them rights (view, edit, publish, and approve) to sections of your website.
• Workflows and permissions can be set on a page by page basis
• Email notifications and web-based reports
• Set embargo and expiry dates for content
• Enter comments while requesting, approving, or rejecting changes, to facilitate collaboration
• Links to visual comparisons in workflow notification emails and the change history on every page
• Multiple content-owners through built-in SilverStripe security groups

What it doesn't do

• GUI for editing arbitrary lengths/steps for workflows
• DataObject-based workflows outside of the CMS
