Start workflow on a folder

[colinmcm]

Hi,
I have a running installation of Alfresco Community 5.0.b. I am working towards being able to add my own BPM processes to handle the content.
However, to start with I would like to use folders as the content package for a workflow (using the built-in workflows). At the moment you can work on individual files but not folders. I have read this post:

I have also looked at this one:

https://forums.alfresco.com/forum/developer-discussions/workflow/folderspace-workflow-package-040620...

and tried to follow the instructions. However, it fails at the first stage, which is probably not surprising since it refers to an earlier version with "space_browse_menu" which no longer exists (as such).
Can anybody tell me how I can implement the same functionality in 5.0 ?

Thanks in anticipation

Colin

Hi,

"space-browse-menu" actionGroup and web-client-config-custom.xml file are related to Alfresco Explorer.
In your case, I think that you want to do that in Share.

So, I think that you have to override "folder-browse" actionGroup (which is defined in share-documentlibrary-config.xml in Share webapp).

Thanks for your reply. I have been studying what you said and trying to work out how to implement it. However, I am still stuck. Could you provide any further explanation?
My main problem is that, when searching for help, there is still very little that is specific to v 5.0 and file names and locations often seem to be different or, if a file is found in the right place it does not contain the expected code - probably it is somewhere else!
How much is v5.0 different in structure from previous versions? Do features and files tend to stay in the same place?

Thanks again
Colin
