Description

« Hide

When contributors go to request approval, they receive a message that there are no approvers in the system (when in fact there are plenty of publishers).

core/packages/farcry/_workflow/getObjectApprovers.cfm (line 62)

Deprecated code in that file is looking for the deprecated permission "Approve" when it should be looking for a type permission.

For anyone having this bug/issue who needs a quick fix do the following:

1. Login to webtop as a sys-admin
2. edit roles (under admin tab)
3. edit publisher role (or equivalent if you're using a custom role for content approvers)
4. go to permission step and apply the "Approve" permission (create it if it doesn't exist. Spelling is critical)

That's a quick temp fix that should get you up and running until the code is updated/fixed.

- removed check to deprecated bActive flag from request-approval process
- updated getRolesWithPermission function so that it also checks type and object permissions
- changed getGroupUsers in FarcryUD to only return "active" users
