    CMF 1.4.7 or CMF 1.5 series

Installation

    Installation was tested with Plone 2.0.5 and Plone 2.1.1.
    Just use the Plone Installation configlet to install
    CMFPlacefulWorkflow.

    We are patching Plone's Workflow Tool automatically when 
    Zope starts. 

    Read the "Extending Zope Dynamically" Howto if you are interested
    in the way Zope is patched:

Working with the product

    To access the workflow settings, access the Plone Setup.
    
    There is a configlet called "Placeful Workflow".

    Click on the configlet, and you directly add your own policy.
    Just give it a name like "private_policy", then on the next
    screen enter a title, description and your mapping.

    Go to your Plone site and go to the following URL:

    http://localhost:8080/Plone/placeful_workflow_configuration

    Another way to access this URL is by going to 

    http://localhost:8080/Plone/

    and then clicking on the "state" dropdown->policy.

    Click on "Add a workflow policy in this folder".

    You have the choice between your policy and the default policy.

    Choose your policy, and when you add content to the folder,
    it should be added with the workflow defined in your workflow
    policy.

Roadmap:

    The product will be integrated in Plone 2.5. See the Roadmap:
