Change form in a Activiti Worklfow

dranakan

Hello,

I'am trying to create a Workflow with Activiti. I can deploy the new Workflow but I need help to change the forms… When I start the new Workflow, the begin page is always the same (https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/secure/attachment/24727/adhoc+activiti.png). My goal is to change this first page.

I have done :

1. In my AMP module for Alfresco : Creation of the Worfklow with Eclipse (Simple.bpmn20.xml)

‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

5. Deploy the module in Alfresco.

I have done the link to catch the form with "sgwf:submitStart" (in the workflow, model and form).
I have set to debug the log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.activities=debug and log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.workflow=debug
, but I have no relevant messages in the logs.

What is wrong ?
My model was done from a sample for bpm… Do I change it ?

(Alfresco 4.0b / Mysql, Rhel 5.6)

To get a nice start page… need to link with the process id (say in Jira : https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-10112). Note : We need to keep the "activiti:formKey=" to link with the model (<startEvent id="start" name="Start" activiti:formKey="sgfwf:submitStart"></startEvent>)

In share-config-custom.xml

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="activiti$Simple">

            <field-visibility>
               <show id="bpm:workflowDescription" />

I will also change the forms in the next steps in the workflows and write code here.

I get problems to show a nice label… I have create a field ("centre") and I would to show it. The form shows "sgfwf:centre" instead of "Centre"
I have badly done something… I have add differents choice to select the good name… but all seems to be wrong… I have no messages in the logs..

models_sgfwfWorkflow.properties (and _de, _en, _fr)

prop.sgfwf_centre=Center a
worfklow.field.sgfwf_centre=Center b

What should I use in the properties files ?

Support : http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/ddraper/2011/08/03/customizing-alfresco-share-i18n-properties/ (but can't access my custom workflow with sufbug enable)

Thank you

dranakan

The label name displayed in Share is defined in Alfresco (not in Share).

1. Specify the label file in your workflow in workflow-context.xml

   <bean id="simple.custom.workflowBootstrap" parent="workflowDeployer">
      <property name="workflowDefinitions">
         <list>
            <props>
               <prop key="engineId">activiti</prop>
               <prop key="location">alfresco/module/custom/workflow/financial/simple/Simple.bpmn20.xml</prop>
               <prop key="mimetype">text/xml</prop>
               <prop key="redeploy">true</prop>
            </props>
         </list>
      </property>
      <property name="models">
      <list>
        <value>alfresco/module/custom/model/sgfWorkflow.xml</value>
      </list>
    </property>
      <property name="labels">
         <list>
            <value>alfresco.module.custom.resources.models_sgfWorkflow</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2. Create the label file : models_sgfWorkflow.properties and add your properties :

# Workflow
Simple.workflow.title=Title of the Workflow
# Properties
sgfwf_workflowModel.property.sgfwf_centre.title=Center‍‍‍‍‍

3. In Share, in share-config-custom.xml, do not use : label-id="… Just :

<field id="sgfwf:centre" set="other" />‍
