I am working on a Sharepoint Server 2007 State machine Workflow. Until now I have a few states and a custom Association/InitiationForm which I created with InfoPath 2007. In Addition I have a few modification forms. I have a Problem with the removing of the modification link in the state-page of my workflow.
I have a state and in the initialize block of this state my EnableWorkflowModification Activity appears. So at the beginning of the state the modification is active. In the same state I have an OnWorkflowModification activity, which catches the event raised by the EnableWorkflowModification activity. After this state my modification is over and the link should disappear in the state-page. But this is not the case.
Both activities have the same correlation token (modification) and the same owner (the owning state).
Has anybody an idea why the link is not removed and how to remove the modification link?
Thank you in advance, Stefan!
Have you checked the OnWorkflowModification event handler is actually firing? Try debugging or adding some eventlog traces to make sure it is. I've run into similar issues with OnWorkflowItemChanged event handler.
Make sure you have the enableWorkflowModification and onWorkflowModified inside an eventHandlingScopeActivity, and set that as the OwnerActivityName for each.

I made a simple workflow in Orchard 1.9.1 to notify when a dynamic forms is submitted.
I didn't set any prpoperty/data on the Start Activity so that it can capture all Dynamic Forms submission. However there seems an issue and the workflow is NOT being invoked.
I followed steps from here: http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Workflows
But this notify activity or may be even the start activity doesn't seem to be invoked/working . What More settings are required to get this workflow in action ?
Also, I have set the redirect URL in "Forms" element properties but the form isn't redirecting. What can be the issue here as well ?
I have not seen this problem with a workflow before. I assume there's nothing in the logs?
My first guess would be that it's your form that is not submitting properly, try to remove that redirect, also make sure there's isn't some validation error blocking it, if you placed recaptcha element remove it and try again.
Second guess which is not very likely is that you have somehow managed to hide notification zone, either with CSS or in layout view #Zone(Model.Messages)
I have a SharePoint site page with a document library web part on it, once a document is uploaded to this library, some of the library fields need to be updated according to a parameter of the page url.
I tried doing this with Event Receiver binding on the library, only to find that I cannot get the page url, or rather the parameter, in the Event Receiver. Then Session occurred to my mind, but after asking around and searching a lot, I can only get HttpContext in itemAdding but not itemAdded, what's worse, HttpContext.Current.Session always give me nulll and I'm sure I have put some value into session earlier in somewhere else.
Can someone shed some light on this, any help or advise is deeply appreciated.
SharePoint allows synchronous and asynchronous event receivers. You can get access to HttpContext and SPContext in synchronous receiver, as it runs in worker thread. Read more for accessing HttpContext and how to bind synchronous receiver programmatically.
It's a bit late but for reference I've just seen solution on this page.
It leverages custom control in master page and stores the information into HttpRuntime.Cache. Then access it from within the synchronous event.
The event receiver is not called in the page context. Therefor you can't access the page information. The only approach to this that I can see is to write custom code that prefills the values of the page before you save the item.
I have a SharePoint 2010 solution. I have a List Definition and an event receiver associated with the definition. I have a list instance associated with the definition. The event receiver has a single method, ItemDeleting, that was working for several days up until some point yesterday.
I am working off my dev box, 2008R2, and am deploying directly from VS2010. When I set a breakpoint and delete an item on the list I never hit the break point. I built the package and deployed the solution to a demo box and the event receiver does fire there just not on my dev box any longer. I have dropped the content database and restored and tried a few other things but the event still will not fire.
Where should I look to resolve this issue?
I had a similiar issue happen where a click event never made it to the handler just as if the event had been swallowed. In my case, I finally found that an exception had been thrown which short-circuited the event.
Check for a exception being thrown somewhere.
Check if the DLL that contains the Event Receiver is located in the GAC.It could be a deployment problem.
Have a look at the "manifest.xml".
We have attached an ItemDeleting event receiver to a list that requires certain maintenance to be performed in other lists whenever an item is deleted. It works fine when an item is manually deleted by a user. However, if an item is deleted as a result of the Information Management Policy we have defined to delete expired items, the ItemDeleting handler is not executing. Is this standard MOSS behavior? If so, are there any suggested workarounds?
I would run a custom workflow using the policy, there you can define your own logic, which is what you probably try to achieve
Seeing if anyone else has had this problem and a resolution to it.
I have a visual studio sequential workflow on a list (not a library) which does NOT use tasks, the approval process is done through the Approve/Reject OOTB buttons on the list item. The approval is a 2 stage approval, whereby if the 1st stage is completed (via clicking the Approve OOTB button), i reset the ModerationInformation.Status from Approved back to pending then send an email to the 2nd stage approver.
My problem is, when i set the the ModerationInformation.Status back to Pending from Approved so there is never an approved version, the Creator loses permissions to view the item, and i get the "cannot find item" error from SharePoint for the person who created the item. The 1st and 2nd level approvers and anyone with approve rights CAN still see the item.
Some more background information. the code i am using to update the moderationinformation is
I get the properties from the workflow event and get a hook into the listitem
properties.Item.ModerationInformation.Status = SPModerationStatusType.Pending;
properties.Item.Update();
can anyone help.
Try using properties.Item.SystemUpdate(); this prevents SHarePoint from triggering any attached EventReceivers etc. I've had the same thing happen also. IMHO this is related to the fact that the item goes into update mode, then SharePoint basically has taken control over the item (seeing as workflows are usually run as the System account) but still sends you back to the the return url (i.e. the EditItem page of the list).
Since SharePoint is probably still doing work on the item (and when you use item.Update() it goes through all events etc. etc.) you cannot open it anymore, because you are not the system account.
When SharePoint finishes (after sent the emails etc.) the item is accessible by users again.
Like I said, I had the same thing happen during long running (i.e. longer than 2 to 3 seconds) EventReceivers / Workflows.
