I am interested in setting up a workflow to support doing research prior to my users setting authoring pages. The idea is relatively simple, and Editor should be able to come up with a handfull of story ideas for example, and for each one start a workflow involving a few co-workers with various specialties and responsibilities. At the end of the process an actual page should be created if the workflow runs to completion, which would then be further worked on in a less structured manner through the usual page editing interface. I uploaded a simple workflow, and can start it. So now my inbox is populated with items. I can proceed, cancel, or reject items. And through a little modification of the code extend the context menu and toolbar. However, I am a little stuck on how to get a dialog to come up that would present me with information from the workflow item, or allow me to stuff information back into the workflow item. The existing Inbox comment entering dialog is configurable, but it doesn't display information from the existing item, or save anything other than the comment. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might do this, or how I might build it into Magnolia?
Hi Chris, maybe I'm wrong but there should certainly be some info taken out of the workitem for display in the existing inbox dialogs. You could study that 'link' to get a feel on how to do what you want to do. I'd gladly help you, if you have any questions related to the workflow core.
