David (and anyone else who has been interested in my dilemma),
I have found where it is that the problem originates. In
CMFDefault.DefaultWorkflow.DefaultWorkflowDefinition, there is a method
'listGlobalActions'. In DCWorkflow.DCWorkflow.DCWorkflowDefinition,
this method is overwritten to handle Worklists. By removing the
overwritten method from DCWorkflow.DCWorkflow.DCWorkflowDefinition, the
workflow is processed in the same manner as the CMF default workflow
(with a few minor differences). However, this negates the use of
Worklists.
Thus, I am going to write my own workflow class that extends
CMFDefault.DefaultWorkflow.DefaultWorkflowDefinition. I will post more
emails as I progress along the development of this class.
William

William,
I too would like to know the answer to this problem. If you find an
answer could you please post it to the group, or even better, create an
account on cmf.zope.org and create a document for others.
Thanks.

Subject: [Zope-CMF] customizing workflows
Hey everybody,
I have installed DC Workflow on my server. I have added a
default_workflow (Web-configurable workflow [Revision 2]). Everything
seems to work fine except the only members that see 'Pending Review(1)'
in their actions list are those that have 'Review Portal Content'
permission at the root of my CMF site. For instance, I create a folder
called foo in my root. I give user X the reviewer role at the root
level and I give user Y the reviewer role at the level of foo. If a
user Z submits a piece of content called bar (associated with the new
workflow), X sees a link for items pending review, but Y does not see
the same link in his actions list. Now, user y is able to traverse to
foo and is can even publish bar; so his permissions do not seem to be
the problem. In fact, if I now give Y the reviewer role at the root, he
does see a link for items pending review.
Has anyone customized a workflow and come across this problem? Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
