I'm tring to set up example workflow management in default pimcore instalation and I don't know where should I start.
I understand states, configs etc. but where is in pimcore panel placee when I could do something with object or asset?
Now I have default config workflow from example config, and in my documents is information about state (TO DO). How could I do somothing?
Do you know some tutorials of this?
Good to see you're experimenting with Workflow Management. I've written some introductions to the feature, they're available here:
Part 1 - Basic Introduction
https://www.gatherdigital.co.uk/community/post/pimcore-workflow-management-pt1/66
Part 2 - How to configure Actions
https://www.gatherdigital.co.uk/community/post/pimcore-workflow-management-pt2/67
Part 3 - How to extend actions using Events
https://www.gatherdigital.co.uk/community/post/pimcore-workflow-management-pt3/70
To get you going, there is an example in configuration directory in Pimcore
All actions that can be carried out are in the Elements themselves, so in the case of Documents, if your workflow is configured correctly you will see a button called "Actions" in the edit view. Clicking actions will show a the action panel.
Cheers!

Below workflow plugin is also very useful to create workflow from UI.
https://github.com/dpfaffenbauer/pimcore-WorkflowGUI
Download the zip
Upload Tools -> Extensions -> Upload Plugin (zip file)
Click on Enable (+) symbol.
Once upload, workflows can be seen under settings. (Setting -> Workflows). The workflow created will be added to workflowmanagement.php in website/config folder. (Tools -> System Info & Tools -> Server File Explorer).

I'm very new to Liferay theme development and i'm trying to find the most optimal workflow for development.
So I've been experimenting with creating Web Content Templates and Web Content Structures within Liferay CMS configuration.
What I would ideally like to do is create my view "Web Content Structure" outside of Liferay configuration and instead have it as a view/template inside my theme files so that I can have my code peer reviewed and version controlled in Bitbucket.
Is this possible?
Alternatively is there a way to output the values of a given web content instance within my theme?
I'm building a theme for Liferay 7 by the way.
Thanks in advance
Richard
You can copy and paste the structure when you create them form the LFR editors into your source code repository.
Also if you know how to define the JSON you can do it straight in the file. The free market templates are even easier to edit in file format. When you're done, you need to go and upload the artefacts to the portal via the editor/file upload option.
You can't stick it into the theme because that approach would not allow you to do updates.
You can search for a community plugin or write your own one that would do structure/template updates during deploy.
I'm trying to create a netsuite suitelet and I have the code and I uploaded it to the file cabinet via the netsuite eclipse plugin.
I'm following the directions and I get to Chapter 7 Step 4, create a script record.
It says to go to Setup -> Customization -> Scripts -> New.
But it doesn't give any context, and I have no customization menu option in my setup menu.
Am I missing something? Am I looking in the wrong place? Is there some access control I'm supposed to have on my account that makes these options come into being?
That is the old link. There should now be a 'Customizations' at the menu bar.
In the newest version 2014.2 - it should be in:
Customization > Scripting > Scripts
Or you can use the Global search and put: "page: scripts"
I have a sharepoint solution package with a Custom UserControl inside. When I deploy the .wsp the user control is placed in the CONTROLTEMPLATES directory. Is there any way to "delay" this step until feature is activated?
In other words what I would like my custom user control to be available only after the feature is activated.
As far as I know this is not possible. On deploy all the needed files are copied to the correct location. It is actually feature independant, because you don't even need a feature to deploy files. You will see that a feature is automatically created when you for ex. add a webpart to your solution. Not when you add a mapped folder.
What are you trying to achieve with delaying the usercontrol? What you can do is check in your usercontrol if a certain feature is active and adapt the rendering of your usercontrol accordingly. Ex. Show message that the feature should be activated before using the control.
I need to transfer a reusable Workflow from the stage env. to the prod.
The workflow is associate to a list, so the list id is stored in the workflow.
Is it possible to transfer the workflow and change the list id to the list name with Visual Studio? (We have no SharePoint Designer access to the prod. env.)
Short answer: No
I tried several hours to fix a reusable workflow, which same as yours was associated with a specific list - I switched systems and the GUID changed --> Workflow was broken.
You can give it a try and rename the MyWorkflow.wsp to MyWorkflow.cab and extract that somewhere. The workflow files are XML based hence you can edit the associated list GUID with your favorite editor. Now you need to package your edited file back into a cab file, rename it to wsp and you can give it a shot. I tried exactly that and resented to just "re-clicking" (as it's SPD) my workflow (two screens come in handy here).
That's what I call "reusable" workflow... Next time do not associate your reusable workflow with anything to keep it reusable.
I would recommend creating an Content Type in a Feature and then base your list and your Reusable Workflow association on that Content Type. We had a project in December where we successfully used this method. I saved a Reusable Workflow as a template. I then deployed the Content Type solution package and the Workflow solution package to another environment. Worked like a charm.
There are tow alternatives for deploying workflow regardless the assigned content types
It is very simple just do the following:
Alternative One
Save the workflow as template
Go to the following path in your site
http://your_server_Address/SiteAssets/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Download the file as WSP
Go to the following URL
http://your_Target_server_Address/_catalogs/solutions/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Upload the WSP, and activate the solution
Go to the site settings, then Site Actions, then Manage site features
Activate the feature that is related to the workflow
If you click workflows under site administration you would be able to see your custom reusable workflow
Alternative Two
Save the workflow as template
Go to the following path in your site
http://your_server_Address/SiteAssets/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Download the file as WSP
Open your visual studio
Click add new project
Under SharePoint choose 2010
Choose Import reusable work flow
Follow the wizard
Project will be created and can be deployed
Note : Make sure your workflow is reusable and that it has no errors
I've created a custom list & also added a column in the Announcement List. Question is, how can I include those newly created items when I create a fresh Web Application (like a script, feature or something)?
Additional Info: It's like when you're to deploy from your development machine to a staging or production server. I'd like to have a script or something to update my production server to have the new column i've added to the Announcement List. Just like SQL Server's ALTER TABLE command to update a SQL Server Table.
Is there an equivalent in Sharepoint Lists?
TIA!
Regarding the new custom list, this can be done using features. See How to: Create a Custom List Definition for more information. The Visual Studio Extensions for SharePoint (VS2005 / VS2008) will help you to extract the list definition if you've created it through the SharePoint UI. If you are fortunate enough to be using a custom site definition and don't have any webs created yet, you can set your site definition to create the custom list using feature stapling.
If you are attempting to apply these changes to webs that already exist, you can still use a feature to define your custom list. It will just appear as a type of list that can be created. Then to have the custom list automatically created for existing webs or to modify existing lists such as the Announcements list, you can use a feature receiver. This allows you to run any custom code when the feature is activated. See the MSDN article Feature Events for more information.
Alternatively, you could not use features at all as they can be difficult, time consuming and painful. In fact, this blog post has a good argument against the idea. You could try the tool mentioned on that page or other applications such as DocAve Content Manager and SharePoint Site Migration Manager.
Your question is not very clear but I think you may want to look at Application Templates.
Microsoft provide 40 pre-built templates in the link below and the same technology is available to you. Links from this page should lead you to information showing you how you can crate your own.
Application Templates for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
