AGX and workflows

[bad_my84]

Hi all,

I'm developing my own product with AGX.
Now I'm trying to design my own workflow, but I'm running into problems:
I have a contenttype called "Employee".
On this type references can be set to other "Employees", so a employee can have a BackRef called "Manager".

In my use case only managers can add or view content on the employee.
Can someone give me some pointers on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

There is some code in the Products.FacultyStaffDirectory that can point the way to doing this. I seem to remember that it is called something like 'modifyPersonOwnership'.

The basic idea is that you want to give the role of 'Owner' of the employee content object to the user designated by the reference to 'manager'.  Archetypes has two events you can use to run this code, IObjectModifiedEvent and IObjectInitializedEvent.  Create an event handler that delegates the role and then register that handler for the two above events.  Every time a new employee is created or an existing one is edited, the role will be re-set to the correct user.

easy-peasy, eh?

Thanks,

I'll have a good look at Faculty staff.
I can't say it looks that easy to me, but then again, this is the first
product I'm developing.
I won't be able to get it working in the correct way before my first
deadline (1st of October) but I'll absolutely incorperate it into a next
release!
