Workflow and templates

Monday 02 June 2008 6:06:56 am

Heya all,

I've got the following setup:

<b>Trigger 1</b>: BEFORE Publish - triggers: Workflow 1

<b>Workflow 1</b>: multiplexer event to 'filter' items of one class - run Workflow 2 on these

<b>Workflow 2</b>:
- do my CustomEventType and then finish the publishing

My CustomEventType is:

    function execute( &$process, &$event )
    {
	$http =& eZHTTPTool::instance();

	if($http->hasPostVariable("done"))
	{
		return EZ_WORKFLOW_TYPE_STATUS_ACCEPTED;
	} 
	else
	{
	      $requestURI = eZSys::requestURI();
		
              $process->Template = array();
              $process->Template['templateName'] = 'design:workflow_event.tpl';
              $process->Template['templateVars'] = array ( 'event' => $event );
						
	      return EZ_WORKFLOW_TYPE_STATUS_FETCH_TEMPLATE_REPEAT;
	}
    }

Template code:

<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="done" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Done with this workflow" />
</form>

The template is loaded fine, but after I hit the button, it returns to the edit form where I can edit the news item again. This probably has something to do with the <form ...> tag.

How can I make sure that submitting the form will not lead to a step back in the workflow, but in a step forward?

Is this functionality still available in eZ 4.0.1?

My use case is eZWorkflowEventType::STATUS_FETCH_TEMPLATE_REPEAT to load up the first template which works fine, but then submitting data from this template back to the workflow event for evaluation and further processing does not appear to work.

Is this possible with the content module, content/action?

I have attempted posting data to /content/action with and without HasObjectInput but I end up at the object history page forcing me to create a new draft.
