Is there an easy way of have a record automatically become "unapproved" when a non-editor changes it?
We have salesmen that enter machine details, then a designated editor checks them, and ticks the approved checkbox to enable them to be listed on the website.
Editors only have access to the approved checkbox, and salesmen can only create new records, view all, and modify only their own.
What i want to prevent, is after the Editor approves it, the salesman can modify it to add more pictures etc, but when doing so could enter incorrect pricing etc, while sitll listed on the website.
Ideally, on a salesman modifying the record, if it unchecks the approved status, the editor must check it before it appears back on the website.
Any ideas?

Hi,
To do this you could write a custom plugin that would set the value of the check box to 0 (unchecked) when a non-editor user clicks the save button on a given record.
If you would like us to create that plugin for you, please email consulting@interactivetools.com and we can go over some options.
Hope this helps

Hi Mick,
Have you looked at the add on from Djulia at: http://www.interactivetools.com/add-ons/detail.php?Alert-Record-Saved-1052
or the post at: http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=89827
It isn't exactly what you want but maybe it can act as a framework.
There's also the fieldresetter plugin at: http://www.interactivetools.com/iforum/gforum.cgi?post=75874
Between the two, you should be able to change the value of a checkbox.
Let us know what you find.
