Put publish field to your content type and set in live value published state!

Hi Jeka

Thanx for your reply. If you read my question correctly, I need the article to return to UNPUBLISHED each time user edits it. For example: User submits article and it is unpublished. Administrator checks article and sets it to published. Article is now visible on frontend. User edits article and it now must return to unpublished. Only administrator can  set it to published, after checking it.

Thank you

Hello Edwin,

do the users and the administrator use the same form or is the user editing in site form and the administrator in admin form?

Hi Gebeer

Thank you for your response. Users and admins use the same form, but admins from backend (admin form) and users from frontend (site form).

Thanx again

Hi, Edwin. 

If users edit article just from frontend, so put your publish field in site tab ( choose hidden ), and set it to unpublish state. 

And you will get:

1. User submit article trought this form from frontend ( article will be saved as unpbulished)

2. Administrator checks article and sets it to published.

3. User edit again edit article from frontemd and save it ( article again will be save as unpublished)

4. Administrator checks article and sets it to published.

The problem is that in this way articles will be always set to unpublish, regardless of whether the user has made changes in the field or not.

Does it work for you?

Hi Jeka

Thank you for your help.

I already have the article state field on form, set to unpublished and is hidden. This seems to work only when user submits the form for the first time. Once admin sets it to published, it stays that way even when user edits the article. Not sure where I'm going wrong. I will try your idea on triggers and report back here.
