[Zope-CMF] Newbie: problem with workflows

[Troy Farrell]

Ok, let's see if a bit of hackery will get you out of the bind:

visit 
http://server/path/to/portal/folder/content_status_modify?workflow_action=show

while you are logged in.  If you haven't changed the workflow or skins 
too much, this might work for you.  If that doesn't work, this will take 
more time
