cclinks

I've just released workflow-ng 1.x beta6. While I would consider it already stable I'd like to add some more features before the 1.0 release. Anyway, the 1.0 release isn't far.. :)

Configurable Content Links

I've included a new extensions module, called configurable content links, short cclinks. Module description:

   This module provides configurable content links, that generate events when they are pressed.
   Optionally one can activate scheduling for a link, so that the user can set the date when the
   event will be invoked. This may be used for scheduled execution of arbitrary actions, e.g. one
   can use it to schedule the publishing of content: http://drupal.org/node/175319
   Each link can be configured to toggle between to different link labels. Thanks to the State Machine
   API the current link state is exposed to Views too. Access permissions can be controlled independently
   for each link.

   Note:
   To make date selecting more user friendly, install the JS Calendar of the Javascript Tools modules 
   package: http://drupal.org/node/57285

So one can use it to just create toggling links for any content - where the the link status is available to views thanks to the states module. But much more important, it brings the "scheduling" feature to workflow-ng. So the tutorial at http://drupal.org/node/175319 already shows how it can be used to schedule the publishing of content, but as it can be combined with every action there are tons of possible use cases. E.g. I plan to build "scheduled publication of node revisions" with it.
