When adding the content in a lifecycle, set the publication:lifecycle_ property with the corresponding lifecycle.
A content can be in one lifecycle only.
Each time you change from one state to another, set the user who changed the state in publication:lastUser.
Querying based on publication status:
By adding this mixin to contents, you can access contents by simple queries based on the current user profile. For example:
All your draft contents:
query: select * from nt:base where publication:currentState"draft" and publication:lastUser="benjamin".
All the contents you have to approve.
call: PublicationManager.getLifecycles('benjamin','approved') => returns lifecycles where you can go to the 'approved' state.
query: select * from nt:base where publication:currentState="pending" and publication:lifecycle="lifecycle1" or publication:lifecycle="lifecycle3".
All the content that will be published tomorrow.
query: select * from nt:base where publication:currentState="staged" and publication:startPublishedDate="xxxx".
