WCM Webproject workflow selection

Hi,
Using Alfresco 3.1 it comes with some out-of-the-box workflows such as adhoc, changerequest, etc.

I know that if I add content to a space such as company home and I can then select the "start advanced workflow" option for that content, and can then choose which out-of-the-box workflow I want to apply.

My question is, why when I create a webproject, and add some web forms to that webproject, do I only see a single workflow (web site submission) to choose from when configuring the workflow for a particular webform? Likewise, if I go to my webproject within the UI and select the "Edit Web Project Settings" action, I then go to "Step 4. Configure Workflow", but again I only see the single Web Site Submission workflow to choose from, none of the other out-of-the-box flows are shown.

How can I make the other workflows available for selection? or what files would I need to copy to make a copy of the website submission workflow, and have that copy show up in the lists?

Thanks very much for any pointers.

HI,

You can add all available workflows to web projects by adding process definition name of workflows under "alfresco.war\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\workflow" to web-client-config-wcm.xml" file under "alfresco.war\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco" in the following tag:

        <workflows>
                       wcmwf:submit,wf:review,wf:adhoc,wcmwf:approved
         </workflows>
        
Once done,restart your server & you can see all workflows available under "Step Four - Configure Workflow" while creating a web project.But there is a catch,you can add simple DM workflows to web projects but these are not able to move content from one web project/sandbox to other, at least for me it did not work as expected.

Still if you find something,please let me know.
