Notification by datalists in 5.0c

[marcinm]

Hi,
Is it possible to use Your script in Alfresco Community 5.0c:
<javascript>
var person=document.assocs["dl:dl:taskAssignee"][0];
var username=person.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}userName"];
var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "activiti$activitiAdhoc";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] =  document.properties.title;
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] = people.getPerson(username);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = document.properties["dl:ganttEndDate"];
workflow.parameters["wf:notifyMe"] = true;

workflow.execute(document);
</javascript>

I copied Your script to Repository/Data Dictionary/Scripts and set a rule on all newly created items that executes this script (on TaskList folder) but it don't do anything.

In alfresco.global.properties i have system.workflow.engine.jbpm.enabled=false but changed workflowName to activity as shown in script.

Thanks for any tips

This post was originally added to a two year old thread. While considering whether I should split it to its own topic, I accidentally clicked. Sorry about that.

You should probably link back to the script you were referring to.

I think there is a typo on the first line:
var person=document.assocs["dl:dl:taskAssignee"][0];

You have the namespace prefix duplicated. Change it to
var person=document.assocs["dl:taskAssignee"][0];

Try again and let me know if it works now.

Yes typo would be the problem also. But I think I am not getting something here:
In my log I see:

I am not quite sure how it worked in earlier versions or what changed now.
Can You help ?

[douglascrp]

It seems the document you are trying to get the dl:taskAssignee property actually doesn't have it.

Check if that association exists on the document.

Access it using Node Browser and look on its properties.

[marcinm]

Thank You! You were right I havent noticed that this should be association to issueAssignedTo
Here is full code od js script for that functionality. It notify user that has been assigned task to do with datalist (issueList).

var person=document.assocs["dl:issueAssignedTo"][0];
var username=person.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}userName"];
var workflow = actions.create("start-workflow");
workflow.parameters.workflowName = "activiti$activitiAdhoc";
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDescription"] =  document.properties.title;
workflow.parameters["bpm:assignee"] = people.getPerson(username);
workflow.parameters["bpm:workflowDueDate"] = document.properties["dl:ganttEndDate"];
workflow.parameters["wf:notifyMe"] = true;
workflow.execute(document);

Maybe it will be useful for someone.
Thank You once more!
