[Zope-dev] Modifying a ZPT state based on a certain parameter

[robert rottermann]

Mike,
this is not a task for zpt but for a python script.
I would suggest you write a script that gets all courses with a given 
db-state and check them to be in the corresponding workflow state.
If not change the workflow state.
this script you call regularly (daily, hourly, when ever the db has 
changed ..)
