[Perl-workflow-devel] Fwd: Workflow patch

[Jonas B. N. <jo...@gm...>]

Hello All,

Robert have now been added to our little group of developer - YAY!.

Which mean that his patch will be added to the branch dedicated for  
this. A development release will be made as soon as he gives me a  
heads up.

We have received some additional patches from Ivan Paponov (see  
below), who has also joined this list.

If anybody has the time to evaluate the patches, please feel free. We  
can discuss them openly here and I am sure Ivan will be happy to  
answer any questions. If a preliminary review of the patches goes  
through, I will create a branch for inclusion and test of the patches.

My $work TODO list is getting shorter, so I think I will be able to  
dedicate a lot of time over Christmas for Workflow.

> But I found one detail that I'm missing in Workflow.
> Here is the situation.
> We created request, and placed it into Submitted state.
> In submitted state we have following actions: terminate, place on hold
> and approve.
>
> <action name="terminate"   class="MyApp::Action::Terminate" />
> <action name="place on hold"   class="MyApp::Action::OnHold" />
> <action name="approve request"   class="MyApp::Action::Approve" />
>
> First two should be available on page as simple links, and third is
> approval form, with comment box and approve button. And it's clear  
> that
> first two action links have to be placed at the one part of page (in
> header near request title), and approval form at the other.
> Also I want to use $wf->get_current_actions(); function, but how
> should I distinguish where I should place current action, so I decided
> to add additional property to the action tag. It's - block.

> <action name="terminate"   block="state change"   class="..." />
> <action name="place on hold"   block="state change"   class="..." />
> <action name="approve request"   block="approval"   class="..." />
>
> And modified get_current_actions(), so now I can call
> my @actions = $wf->get_current_actions("approval");
> or
> my @actions = $wf->get_current_actions("state change");
> And I get only actions that are members of specified block.

> Patches are in the attachments, in case if you'll find this idea
