Activiti Form

[nishant23]

Hi,

I am new to Activiti and facing some problems in it.
I want to add a file to the form key of a user task. I added the file to the form key but when I deploy my bpmn to activiti-explorer I don't see any form there. I had attached the forms to my zip file along with my bpmn file which I deployed to activiti-explorer.
My query regarding this are:
- Do I need to manually create fields of name/amount etc.
-If not then the form which I have written which has Name and amount as input type, why aren't they coming on the deployed screen.

Can you help me with it?

It would be real nice to use activiti-explorer as a base application to test processes and use custom forms. I don't see why this feature has been taken down… ??? In fact I find it quite outrageous that such an amazing feature gets deprecated for no reason…

So now to my question if I wanted to diagrammatically change activiti-explorer so that it once again supports custom forms would I have to develop that feature myself by becoming a developer on github? Is there a way to quickly restore this feature?

@elintegro: what do you mean? Custom forms are still available in explorer.

Forms in Activiti are not done using html anymore, but using the form properties approach: http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#forms

I can't find any reference showing the structure of the form, if we are not using html anymore so what is the alternative ? what is the structure of the external form now ??

That's because it's completely up to you. Activiti does not have a 'form renderer' when it comes to external forms, that's something you'll have to add yourself
