NSM Publish Plus Workflow Public Beta

Leevi Graham and folks at Newism released a public beta of their newest EE2 add-on: Publish Plus Workflow. Some of you may know Publish Plus from the EE1 version. For those that don’t, Publish Plus is a workflow tool to help automate content production (email updates, entry workflow states and more).

The original Publish Plus add-on did a lot and, at times, more than some scenarios required. Newism is taking a different approach by slowly porting Publish Plus to EE2 “in chunks.” Leevi wrote in an email to EE Insider:

Each chunk will be an independent addons which are focussed one or two functions. This is the first of such addons.

This is great news and hopefully will make using Publish Plus easier because I won’t have to install a giant add-on but instead only the parts I need. This public beta is for the first add-on (called “Workflow”) and hopefully there are some more on the horizon.

The features list from their site:

• Set configuration options on a per channel basis
• Use select template tags in your email notifications
• Manage an entry’s state and next review date using the Workflow tab
• Have your website tell you when content needs reviewing via a CRON job URL
• Find the content that needs reviewing all in one place using the module’s dashboard
• NSM Publish Plus: Workflow doesn’t affect your website database or template tag data
