Admin Moderation

monkeypatch.py

Moderation monkeypatches some of Versioning’s admin pages. get_state_actions:- this adds a “Submit for moderation” link next to draft versions in the Version table for a given content-type.

It also adds some checks to the checks-framework checks registered in Versioning, to prevent certain Versioning functions at certain stages of moderation.

admin.py

Aside from the usual, there are a number of bulk-action confirmation views that are generated here:- delete_selected, approve, rework, publish, resubmit. These each provide additional information whilst facilitating confirmation and the admin_actions.py redirect to these views.

The available bulk actions are also controlled by the internal permissions system within Moderation which links Users or Groups to Roles. Each Moderation Request Action within a Workflow has a single Role assigned to it. Each Moderation Collection has a Workflow. The result is that not all bulk-actions will be available to every user and some will appear only when the Moderation Request is in a particular inferred state.

cms_toolbars.py

Replaces the VersioningToolbar object with the ModerationToolbar object in order to show Versioning-related buttons at the correct part of the Workflow.
