Workflow - Problem with initiator user

conghung — Thu, 27 Mar 2014 03:35:59 GMT

Please help us. I high appreciate for your help. - One user(A) creates a new workflow, then he assigns it to another (B). When A clicks on "Workflow I've started", he can control everything with tasks of the workflow(review, approve, etc..). However, I only want that only B can do(review, approve) a

Yes. You can achieve it.
You need to disable the "Edit task" and "Task details" actions available in the workflow-details page.

The ftl file for it is workflow-form.get.html.ftl (tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\site-webscripts\org\alfresco\components\workflow)
and the equivalent js file where you can customize your business logic is workflow-form.js (tomcat\webapps\share\components\workflow)

NOTE: Do not change the OOTB files. Put it under the extension environment to customize.

To disabled the "Edit task" and "Task details" actions available in the workflow-details page, I comment out case "Editable" on file workflow-form.js as below:
At function WorkflowForm_renderCellType():
renderCellType: function WorkflowForm_renderCellType(elCell, oRecord, oColumn, oData)
      {
         var task = oRecord.getData();
         /*if (task.isEditable)
         {
            elCell.innerHTML = '<a href="' + this._getTaskUrl("task-edit", oRecord.getData("id")) + '" title="' + this.msg("link.title.task-edit") + '">' + $html(oRecord.getData("title")) + '</a>';
         }
         else
         {*/
            elCell.innerHTML = '<a href="' + this._getTaskUrl("task-details", oRecord.getData("id")) + '" title="' + this.msg("link.title.task-details") + '">' + $html(oRecord.getData("title")) + '</a>';
         /*}*/
      },

At function function WorkflowForm_renderCellCurrentTasksActions():
renderCellCurrentTasksActions: function WorkflowForm_renderCellCurrentTasksActions(elCell, oRecord, oColumn, oData)
      {
         var task = oRecord.getData();
         elCell.innerHTML += '<a href="' + this._getTaskUrl("task-details", task.id) + '" class="task-details" title="' + this.msg("link.title.task-details") + '"> </a>';
         /*if (task.isEditable)
         {
            elCell.innerHTML += '<a href="' + this._getTaskUrl("task-edit", task.id) + '" class="task-edit" title="' + this.msg("link.title.task-edit") + '"> </a>';
         }*/
      }

When user A(user start workflow) show history, cannot edit task (click link in current task), it's ok.
However, when user B(user assigned) show workflow detail, he also cannot edit task(click link in current task)

can you help me only disable edit task of user A. enable edit task with user B.
thank you very much!

Replace the function renderCellCurrentTasksActions with below code. And add a new function below it. Let me know if it works for you.


renderCellCurrentTasksActions: function WorkflowForm_renderCellCurrentTasksActions(elCell, oRecord, oColumn, oData)
      {
         var task = oRecord.getData();
       var myWorkflowsLinkBack =  this.getUrlVars(window.location.href)["myWorkflowsLinkBack"];
       if(myWorkflowsLinkBack == null)
       {
        elCell.innerHTML += '<a href="' + this._getTaskUrl("task-details", task.id) + '" class="task-details" title="' + this.msg("link.title.task-details") + '"> </a>';
          if (task.isEditable)
          {
            elCell.innerHTML += '<a href="' + this._getTaskUrl("task-edit", task.id) + '" class="task-edit" title="' + this.msg("link.title.task-edit") + '"> </a>';
          }
       }
      },
     
      getUrlVars : function getUrlVars(url)
       {
           var vars = {};
           var parts = url.replace(/[?&]+([^=&]+)=([^&]*)/gi, function(m,key,value) {
               vars[key] = value;
           });
           return vars;
       }
