How to have customized page for workflow tasks?

Hi friends,i just found these mystery words at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WorkflowAdministration :If the standard Manage Task Dialog is not sufficient it can be overridden based on the type of task.TODO: Provide an example of a custom dialog and how to configure it. So, has anyone ever done this?

hsohaib, I couldn't find any explanation about "how to build a customized page for workflow tasks" in any of the case studies.
Could you give a more specific link?
Thank you!

A close look at web-client-config-dialogs.xmls reveals that is actually quite easy !

Just provide an type specific definition for the manageTask dialog in your web-client-config-custom.xml:

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="wf:adhocTask" replace="true">
   <property-sheet>
      …
   </property-sheet>
   <dialogs>
      <dialog name="manageTask" 
              page="/custom/jsp/workflow/special-manage-task-dialog.jsp" 
              managed-bean="ManageTaskDialog"
              icon="/images/icons/manage_workflow_task_large.gif"  
              description-id="manage_task_desc" />
   </dialogs>

</config>

I have also updated this in the Alfresco wiki. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/WorkflowAdministration#Step_5:_Configure_the_Web_Client_Task_Dialogs

Cheers and have a good weekend
