problem with the form keys in user tasks and start event

[max-2001]

Hi @ all,

I have a small question:
I've added two *.form files to my package where the process diagram are stored and added them to my process in a start event and a user task as form key like "org/activiti/rec/request.form"

Added the form also in my build file to deploy them.
The problem is, that the form is not shown when I start my process?
Have I missed some configuration?

thanks and regards,
max

some additional infos:

I've tried the same with an very simple process (startevent-usertask-endevent) with the same result.

Project details:
- diagram is under: src/main/resources in package diagrams

my process contains the start event with the form:
<startEvent id="request" name="Start" activiti:formKey="diagrams/request.form"></startEvent>
the request.form is the form from the activiti demo (vecationrequest).

thx and regards,
max

Hi,

Which version of Activiti are you using?
Since version 5.7 we use form properties and forms are not supported anymore in the Activiti Explorer.
You can read more about form properties in the user guide.

Hi,
and thanks for the reply.  (I'm using activiti 5.9.)
Is there an easy way to extend the layout of the string propertie? My intention is to hava a field like "reason" where i can type some text into and use it later in an email context, but the layout of the string is not large enough (a textbox would be greate 😉 )

regards,
Max

Explorer allows you to plug in custom property types. You should easily use a Vaadin TextArea instead of a text box for this.

Look at org.activiti.explorer.ui.form.UserFormPropertyRenderer and /activiti-webapp-explorer2/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/activiti-ui-context.xml to see how to hook in custom property type an it' rendered.

HI,

I am not able to display the forms in activiti explorer.
The process that i followed is:
1)built the project using ant.
2)the .bar file got created.(bar file contains the bpmn20.xml and .form files as well)
3)Uploaded this bar file in activiti but the form is still not displayed.

Have i missed out any step..?
I have checked the path of the form files in bpmn20.xml file to be correct as well.

Please help!!

As I said, the ".form" file approach is NOT supported anymore since 5.7 in activiti explorer. Read the user guide about the new approach (form-properties)
