[Zope-CMF] Moving Items with Workflow

Ryan,

> This only limits/allows portal users to view portal content.  The fact

> pending approval non-existent to the public when those states are in
> effect.  This is unacceptable when this is a public web-site.  Web-surfers
> visiting my pages should never see a page missing or a page that has not
> been approved.  This is why I am copying content into a new portal folder
> when it is approved by the top approver.  That way, there is a nearly
> seamless transition from the old web content to the newly approved web
> content, not periods of absence.  Thank you for the suggestion though.  I

you are in need of CMFVersions/CMFStaging.  This is exactly what this is
made for.
it increases the complexity of your CMF.  but then you have a proper
versioning
and staging system. and things that are pending are in different versions of
stages.
they are promoted to production using workflow.
