Absolutely fantastic plugin, thanks a lot for this.
A couple of questions.

When the ownership has been transfered and the new owner updates the page, it goes into ‘pending’ status, is there an easy way to notify a content manager that the page has been updated and requires making ‘live’ ?

While the article is between ‘pending’ and ‘live’ states, is there a way to put a message (e.g. ‘page currently being updated’) in place untill the article is live again ?

I realise that both these features are probably plugins in themselves but I’d appreciate any help you could give with this.
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure the first thing you’re describing isn’t a permissions/privileges thing on your local version of Textpattern? That sounds like what happens when someone edits an article who doesn’t have permission to edit published articles.

Thanks very much, I updated the permissions in admin_config.php and it’s all working fine now.
(Although I do think that the article pending feature would be a really good adaptation of the plugin, version 0.3 perhaps :) )
Many thanks once again for your help with this great plugin.

I seem to be encountering the same problem as some earlier posters, but none of the suggestions seem to do anything. Looking at the page source, I’m seeing the JavaScript for the plug-in, but it simply doesn’t display, without so much as an error message (either in Safari or Firefox). I’m running TXP 4.0.3.

Are you running off the latest development build from subversion?

Chrysogonus · 2006-09-20 01:22:24

It’s just version 4.0.3 from the site. I’d completely forgotten about this, but I am using Mary’s Admin Facelift hack from these forums, which I’d wager is doing it. I’ll go back to the default install tomorrow, and see if that fixes it.

I’ve now replaced my entire TXP install from 4.0.3 in case I’d changed any of the files, re-installed the plug-in, and even tried disabling the other plug-ins I have installed. It still isn’t coming up. Is there anything else you know of that could be causing this?

This is probably a very silly question but you are looking at an already saved article, right? There’s no transfer link on a clean write page.

Nope, it’s definitely with saved articles. As I said, the JavaScript for it is showing up in View Source, but it’s not actually appearing on the page. This makes me think that it’s some sort of browser problem, but I’m now using all the default styles and have tried it in both Safari and Firefox.

I’ve tested it out on many browsers on vanilla installs for v4.0.3 with no problems. Keep in mind:

Basic author can only transfer own articles; managing editors and publishers can transfer any article. This may change after some user feedback.

Could this be related?

I’m definitely running it as publisher. I’ve just tried it on another site, too (which runs the same extensions/hacks as far as I know), and it works fine. There’s obviously something odd going on with that install. I’ve posted the source code for a page I get here, if that helps.

If this doesn’t work, is there a way to manually change the author on an article?

Sorry that this is taking so long, and thanks for your help!

Will this be updated for 4.0.4 soon?

Andrew · 2006-09-30 21:30:37

I’ll update it for v4.0.4 when it’s officially released, that way people aren’t complaining of issues that are related to using the 4.0.4 version with 4.0.3. It is pretty trivial to update it though, so I may just do it ahead of time and put it in a temporary location.

is there any way this feature could be made a part of the next release and that too on the articles page . I have a site at http://www.newslink.in where I previously had only 1 user to post all the articles for the last year. Now I want to transfer ownership of those articles to their actual authors. So I have 1 full years content, that is 365 days x 4-5 articles/day and I’d have to modify them one by one. Like for example, all the editorials are need to be moved over to the editor’s name, etc etc. even that much means moving about 340 articles.

guitarman · 2006-10-10 04:31:35

oops … I didn’t see this post…. anyway … I guess my site can be taken as an example. :)

I know this is something else completely, but what’d be really handy too, is to be able to transfer articles from the article list.

You know that “With selected:” drop down list that can now be used to delete / change status / change section… if there’d also be a ‘change author’ option… now that’d be really fantastic.
