Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Workflow Explanations

Posted by Kevin Crosbie on
Hi Simon,

I posted a few weeks ago asking how to do things in the workflow.  Lars sent me this reply:

Overall, I would say that it is a little difficult to see exactly what is going on and when to write callbacks etc.  I ended up doing as much as possible in the graphics editor, then going into the code that the system had dumped and modifying that to call procs like automatic assignments.

For instance, I was unable to find a place to fill in details for the wf_context_role_info table without actually going in and changing the workflow create script myself.

This is just my perspective as someone who had never used the Workflow module before and learned how to use it.

Take a look at the above link, I found it extremely useful as a starting ground for using the workflow module.
