Extend Advanced Workflow configurable actions to trigger custom PHP code

Hey Enrico,  

Thanks for the post!  I am doing a more simplified custom advanced workflow on a vagrant localhost SugarCRM instance to test proof of concept. I have been following Robert Gonzalez's example: UnCon 2016 - Advanced Workflow Deep Dive Presentation .  Nothing seems to happen when I attempt to trigger the advanced workflow on an Account Record.  In the process management module it reports that my process definition is 'in progress' but never resolves.  Any thoughts on how I could debug or attempt to troubleshoot what I have done wrong?

Thanks!

Matt

I want multiple custom actions in Workflow.

In activity.js, I have tried the code as follows, but it doesn't work. Anyone tried such scenario of creating multiple custom action in workflow.

AdamActivity.prototype.customContextMenuActions = function() {
return [{
  name: 'CREATE_OPPORTUNITY',
  text: 'Create Opportunity'
}, {
  name: 'CREATE_MEETING',
  text: 'Create Meeting'
}]
};

AdamActivity.prototype.customGetAction = function(type, w) {
switch (type) {
case 'CREATE_OPPORTUNITY':
var actionText = 'Create Opportunity (Action)';
var actionCSS = 'adam-menu-icon-configure';
var disabled = false;
return {
actionText: actionText,
actionCSS: actionCSS,
disabled: disabled
};
case 'CREATE_MEETING':
var actionText = 'Create Meeting (Action)';
var actionCSS = 'adam-menu-icon-configure';
var disabled = false;
return {
actionText: actionText,
actionCSS: actionCSS,
disabled: disabled
}
}
};

/**
* Needed to define the modal that pops up with a form
* @param {string} type The action type
* @return {object} Definition needed for a modal
*/
AdamActivity.prototype.customGetWindowDef = function(type) {
switch(type) {
case 'CREATE_OPPORTUNITY':
var wWidth = 500;
var wHeight = 140;
var wTitle = 'Create Opportunity';
return {wWidth: wWidth, wHeight: wHeight, wTitle: wTitle};
case 'CREATE_MEETING':
var wWidth = 500;
var wHeight = 140;
var wTitle = 'Create Opportunity';
return {wWidth: wWidth, wHeight: wHeight, wTitle: wTitle};
}
}

In Workflow Action menu, I got only one action at a time. I want 2 or more action over there. Anyone tried this scenario?

Hi Kishor Mali,

In your case for "create meeting" or "create opportunity" wouldn't you be able to just leverage the create record functionality present in the system?

In any event, the example provided has one action, but it can have N configurable paths (through the PHP file methods). You would have that option as well.

I am not sure currently of your specific problem though.

Hope it helps you move forward

Hi Enrico Simonetti,

Create record functionality is not working in my case, because I have to assign to much customize data while creating opportunity and meeting.

Opportunity case

1) Account : I need to attached the account which is already attached to Contact which is present in my current meeting from where I am creating opportunity.

2) One Meeting to many Opportunities : I created this custom relationship.

Same complex case is also with Meeting module. That's why I need multiple custom action in workflow.
