Workflows not working at all

Tuesday 06 April 2004 2:46:03 am

Hi all

I am trying to make my own workflow, this in order to place users in the correct user group depending upon what they enter in an toogle box. However, I am totally unable to get EZ to use my new workflow. Therefore I downloaded two workflows (mailinglist and shopsender) contributions, this in order to test them. But I have the same problem with those. EZ finds them in the Extension setup. However, after activating the new workflows they are nowhere to been seen.. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Or is it the EZ workflow ?

I am using EZ 3.3-4 with the EZ installer (Apacke 1.34 etc).

Cheers

Hi Paul

Thanks for help.. I rechecked everything and noticed that I did not have the:
[ExtensionSettings]
ExtensionDirectory=extension

in my site.ini.append.php file. Once I entered it the workflows were found. However, my own is still nowhere to be found. I guess there is some undocumented critical elements in the workflows.

Update: While working an inserting my own debug in EZ kernel classes I seem to have learnt that the acutal custom workflow event class name must be *Type i.e. ezuserplacement.php must be ezuserplacementtype.php? Is that correct? Is it so sensitive?

Debug in admin return this:
Workflow type not found: event_ezuserplacement, searched in these directories: kernel/classes/workflowtypes, extension/userplacement/eventtypes

While this exsists "extension/userplacement/eventtypes/event/ezuserplacement.php".. But it seems to be totally unable to find it.. Anyone have any tips ?

Cheers

First of all, I'd recheck all of your names, with those forced conventions, it's really easy to make a mistake.

I'm not sure, but isn't event_ezNNN the expected name of the associated template?
You might try to add an empty template under your extension:

\design\standard\templates\workflow\eventtype\edit\event_ezNNN.tpl

and put this under settings in workflow.ini.append.php:

[EventSettings]
ExtensionDirectories[]=ems
AvailableEventTypes[]=event_ezNNN

oh, and activate your design in your extension

Hope this helps

Hi,

Have a look in the contribs, you have something like that.
