Ben,

 

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the steps below don't work for me. I tried these on the root of the Plone site, on the news folder in the Plone site and on both, but no luck.

 

I'm using the following versions of Plone and Zope:

Zope Version	(Zope 2.7.8-final, python 2.3.5, win32)
Python Version	2.3.5 (#62, Feb 8 2005, 16:23:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)]
System Platform	win32

 

Thanks again,

1. Go into the security tab in the root folder in the ZMI
2. For both of the following uncheck acquire and click the last four columns in the row:

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; &nbsp;

•  &nbsp; ATContentTypes: Add News Item
•  &nbsp; ATContentTypes: Add Event

&nbsp; &nbsp;  3.  This can also be done or individual folders

To skip the 'publishing' part for only certain items would involve quite a lot of work creating a new workflow but to do it for all items is fairly easy (as follows)

1. Expand portal_workflow on the left hand side and click on plone_workflow and click on the states tab at the top
2. Select Published and press the set initial state at the bottom
3. If you want to make it so that you cannot come out of the published state click on 'published' back in the states tab and unselect all the boxes

If you delete states that are not needed, make sure there are no documents in that state as it causes errors

Hope that helped

Hi all (sorry for the repost -- the original didn't have a subject)

Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I couldn't find a
solution in the archives or the Plone documentation.

I'd like to configure my Plone site so that anyone who logs in (Members?)
can post both News and Events items. I'd also like these items to be
published automatically (i.e., not have to be reviewed or go through a
workflow). Can this be done? If so, how?

Thanks,
