Are there any plans for a user authentication module against Active Directory or LDAP?
This is a big concern these days with lots of organizations pushing towards SSO enterprise wide.

I have been playing around with the EE Core and am so far impressed with the ease of use compares(especially in themes/templating) to many other CMS/portal systems.

Do you offer any educational discounts?

Is there a way to have a blog page be in draft mode until it is reviewed/edited by someone with a higher access level? (I’m thinking more in terms of CMS here)

Thanks,

Jim

We’re aware of these needs. I can’t make any promises but they are under consideration. Always make a purchase decision based on what’s available.

Educational organizations are welcome to use EE Core or the Personal license pricing for their projects.

You can assign a default status to a new weblog entry. But currently you cannot prevent an author with posting privileges from changing the status. If a person is authorized to publish, they are authorized to change the status. In most environments this works since setting the default status prevents accidental postings.

I suspect a very simple extension could add this functionality. Perhaps using this hook. Some pseudo-code off the top of my head:

if user doesn't belong to group X
{
  if status doesn't equal the default
  {
    change status to default
  }
}

OK, technically that isn’t “preventing” the user from changing the status, but it does correct the change immediately.
