Site Creation and Approval Workflow

Created Issue: Works, but some small comments

Awesome stuff, but some things...

When activating in site collection features, redirects to page cannot be displayed (no biggie)
When creating workflow settings, the email text boxes aren't table/structured (no biggie)
When site is still pending approval, shows up on navigation. Cool that it's blocked, but is it possible to actually not show until approved?

Either way, cool stuff.

UPDATED RELEASE: Version 1.0 Release to Market (RTM) (Apr 15, 2008)

Check out [url:http://philwicklund.com/freeware/siteapprovalworkflow] to view installation instructions, feature details, and some screen shots.

Known issues:
Requires App Pool to NOT be using Network Service. Must use service account (which is a best practice anyhow)
Doesn't support FBA
After a users has created a site and submitted the justification form, they are direct to a broken page :(. The workflow continues fine though.

UPDATED RELEASE: Version 1.0 Release Canidate 2 (RC2) (Apr 15, 2008)

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:58:46 GMT

RC2:
Fixed a few bugs. One bug remains within the WorkflowSettings.GetSettings method. Even though i'm running with elevated privledges, if the new site is a sub site below the root web a few layers, and the new site creator doesn't have Full Control on the root web, I get an unauthorized exception. Not sure why the RunWithElevatedPrivledges code isn't doing the trick...

RC1:
Look for future enhancements on the email processes and relevant data, and the dependant list being provisioned automattically upon feature activation.

I plan on doing more scaling testing, as well as more unit testing on security edge cases before I make this a final 1.0 release.

Go to [url:http://philwicklund.com/freeware/siteapprovalworkflow] for more information. Also, you can download my installation instructions there as well.

Release Canidate 2 (RC2). Fixed a few bugs, but one bug remains where creators of new sites must have full control on the root site in the site colection. I'm working feverishly to figure this out :)
