Upload file during a wofklow

[dranakan]

Hello,

I need to upload file during a workflow. Actually we can add a file which is already in Alfresco.
Has someone done this ?

Thank you.

Hi dranakan!

It sounds like you have a running workflow and you have some content in the repository, let's say someFile.pdf, and you want to add someFile.pdf to the running workflow.

If so, that's definitely possible. Files are associated to a workflow by virtue of being inside a workflow package, which you can think of as a temporary folder that exists for the life of the workflow. You can use the workflow service to get a handle to the workflow package, then add the someFile.pdf node to it.

Hi jpotts,
I appreciate, if you can explore the way to do it.
I am very new to Javascript as well as Alfresco.
It would be appreciable, if you can share some links/code with me.

Thank you Jeff 🙂

My goal is to add a file from the disk (Upload file) and not to select one file already in Alfresco.
I would like to add the "upload" button (from http://server:8081/share/page/repository) in the workflow forms.

Actually I am looking in the file : WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/alfresco/components/documentlibrary/include/toolbar.lib.ftl
I define a field to use ftl (in share-config-custom.xml) using "control template". The ftl should have the code starting the selector file. https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=41486#p122981

Hi Umang_gupta,

Update on the 25.05.2012 :
You can find here a sample in 4.0D to do this : http://www.sendspace.com/file/3arndk or http://www.2shared.com/file/-iY4mBWY/2012_05_25_POC_Add_Files_In_Wo.html

How to install

cp -R webapps /opt/alfresco-4.0.dtest1/tomcat/
cp -R shared /opt/alfresco-4.0.dtest1/tomcat/

Change client-debug to true : tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/share-config.xml
         <client-debug>true</client-debug>

In Alfresco, create site with name "workflowTest". The file will go here…

Go to Start Workflow, Adhoc Activiti Process and you should see a new button "Upload File(s)"

Hi dranakan,

I have started to test your sample. When a try to upload a document, every time the upload displayed error in the form and the end of the process.

Do you have a tips or anything else to find the solution, because I have no log in share, alfresco, javascrip debugger …) ?
thanks for your help.

Hi Richard,

Check that the user has enough right to write the file (check destination)… Check the destination exists…

Good luck
