How to have customized page for workflow tasks?

[gyro_gearless]

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? Or an hint where and what to configure?

Cheers
Gyro

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
