Trigger a script from the simple workflow

Alfresco,I would like to join 2 nice rule features. On one side you have the simple workflow rule which adds an option to every document, on the other side one can add scripts as a rule.I'm trying to build a backup JavaScript (as seen in the example in the WIKI) that creates a backup folder if none

BTW: Can I remove a category once it's applied (as a web client user)?

Yes, you can go to the view details dialog for the node and in the Category panel you can edit them and remove them all (providing the user has the permissions to do so).

Is this what you meant?

Yes, exactly, needed some extra clicking but indeed, I can remove a category in the Change category panel. Thanks.

Any feedback on my first question?

Would still be nice to have an answer on the first question… anyone, no one?!

Thanks!

So I would like to add the simple workflow but it should start a script instead of the copy/move it's using now. Any ideas?

As you spotted you can't do this at the moment. It's not possible at the moment with Simple Workflow. It should certainly be possible once a more fully feature JBPM style workflow is integrated (1.4 timeline).

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks for the reply Kevin… I'll have to wait for the 1.4 release. Maybe I could get rid of the 1.3 preview and switch to 1.3 first.
