Installation

Download the latest version from the main Workflow page and unpack it in the main directory of your Movable Type installation. It will install files into the plugins/Workflow/ directory, and you will need to make sure that workflow.cgi has the correct permissions to execute as a CGI script (on Unix hosts, that would be 755).

Entry Transfer

To transfer an entry to another author, simply click the "Transfer ownership of this entry" link at the bottom of the edit entry page for an existing entry. Then select the author to whom you wish to transfer the entry and click the "Transfer" button.

Publish Control

To enable the publish control feature of Workflow for a particular blog, click the "Edit Publish Permissions" link at the bottom of the main page for the blog. A number of options will be presented. Selected the most appropriate one for your setup and click the "Define Permissions" button.

To administer the publish permissions, assuming the current author has permission to grant publish permission, simply click the "Edit Publish Permissions" link at the bottom of the main page for a blog that has been setup for use with Workflow. Select the checkboxes to reflect the permissions desired and click the "Update Permissions" button to save the selections.

Template Tags

Workflow provides template tags that provide access to the original author of an entry (determined the first time an entry is transferred). For each MTEntryAuthor* tag that Movable Type provides, Workflow provides a corresponding MTEntryCreator*.
