Assign Workflow on Share: Support for Goups

[joaotpd]

Hi all!!

I'm trying to create the possibility to find/select/add a group to the people selected box on the Assign Workflow Dialog. To do this I'm trying to understand the file workflow.js located on share/modules/documentlibrary/workflow.js.
So far I understand that I need to load the Group Finder Component from the server, like the People Finder Component, right?… in method onTemplateLoaded, right?… What is the best way to do this?! … … then, when search is preformed, I want that to obtain groups to… I have to define new DataTable Cell Renderers and DataTable column definitions for Groups… right? … then, how I obtain a mix of users/groups in Select Assignee box?!… … Is this possible??? … Anyone?? …
Thaks a lot!!

I would try and stay away from make YUI changes and see if you can hack the webscript that does the search for people to return groups as well, in the same format.

You'll also have to create custom webscript to deal with workflow assignment. Not tried it myself.

If you want to go down this route, use the Authority Picker instead of the People Picker - it supports retrieval of both users and groups.

As Zaizi says, you'll also have to do some work in the data webscript in order to pass the different parameters to the workflow APIs.

Thanks,
Mike
