I've setup a basic workflow in Sitecore on my content items, the workflow states consists of Draft, Awaiting Approval and Approved (which proceeds to auto publish). In the Content Editor you can use the review tab to action commands within your workflow, so I can submit from the ribbon.
Is there an option in sitecore out-of-the-box to do this in the page editor without opening the workbox?
Ideally I'd like to have the submit command action in the page editor ribbon.
Thanks in advance!
I don't know which version of Sitecore you use, but I do recommend updating your solution to the most current version (Sitecore 6.6 update 3). It does have Submit / Approve / Reject commands in the notification bar under the ribbon in Page Editor out of the box (see attached screenshots).

So here is the step to replicate.
Create a blank page,
Open Experience Editor and add a component that needs a datasource.
Select create a new datasource in the popup window.
Save the page in experience editor
Open the datasource in the Content editor and take a look at the workflow state section. It will be blank instead of having the initial workflow state.
This only happens for non admin users.
Creating a new datasource directly in Content Editor (not Experience Editor) works fine.
** Note that when experience editor creates the datasource, if you go to Content Editor and open the item, the workflow state will be there. It is after you save the page in experience editor that the worflow state is set as null.
So after 5 days debugging Sitecore code and pipelines I found the issue.
The enableWorflow="true" attribute was missing in the site definitions.
The code that was causing the issue was the .Lock step in the SaveUI pipeline.
I am unable to see 'Add Schedule' button on jasper server 6.2.1 for old or new reports.
Earlier, on right clicking a report and choosing schedule option, opened a page that lists the scheduled jobs for the selected report. This page also had a 'Add Schedule' button to create a new schedule.
Now this button is not visible. I am logged in from superuser.
Administrative view
When using login, view -> repository, selecting reports under organization:
This is the repository where you set user rights or change settings in the report. No possibility to change schedules (at least in v6.2.1).
Schedule view
In the "library" or when selecting "reports" after logging in on your dashboard you are able to change the schedule.
NOTE: This differs because a user might have rights to change schedules, but not to change report settings.
I am trying to publish entire site from experience editor. However publish option in Home menu only showing up Publish Item Dialog. Is there any way I can publish site from experience editor.
The reason is my current item has sublayouts with datasources at different folders in sitecore tree. When I do publish Item, item changes get published along with images however changes made to datasources in item doesn't reflect in publish site.
I am publishing items with sub items and related items check box ticked and as per documentation from sitecore it only publishes alias, media and clone references. But datasources changes on item doesn't get published.
Switch to the Core database
Open the Content Editor
Navigate to /sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Ribbons/WebEdit/Page
Editor/Publish/Publish
Duplicate this item
Change the value of the "Click" field to "system:publish(id=$Target)", the value of "Header" to "Publish Site" and the value of "Tooltip" to "Publish the current item."
Switch to the Master database
Open the Experience Editor and you will be able to see the "Publish Site" button on the ribbon.
Version- Sitecore 8.1 update 1.
I am trying to tag a media item for Page Download Event.
When I try follow the steps
My Attributes dialog shows no events to select from.
Events Listed
Attributes Dialog
Can Anybody help me here?
My first idea was that the analytics were disabled...but then you shouldn't even be able to open the Attributes popup.
Are you logged in as an Sitecore Administrator or another user? Perhaps the user role is not able to set any goals/events.
Have you checked the error log? Perhaps it can help with narrowing down this problem.
I'm using Sitecore version 6.4.1
I have a scheduled task that sends notification mail to content approver and I want to provide a url link to Workbox in the email. Could someone tell me how the workbox URL looks.
You can login to Sitecore backend in Content Editor mode, and switch the bottom tab to Workbox. The URL string in the browser will change to what you need.
It contains a number of query string parameters. You can play with them finding out how each combination influences the Workbox appearance.
