Opinions just for reference

Thank for your notice on this great extension's publish. The followed opinions are just for reference. Perhaps, someone wants to pre-definition some opinions and some people doing the things in a specific phases like followed: In the page Organicdesign:Workflow:Emoticon we can see:

 
*[[Sad]]  |sign |notice=John      |opinion=opinion1,opinion2
*[[Grin]] |sign |notice=Mark,Jane |opinion=opinion1,opinion2,opinion3
*[[Wink]] |sign |notice=Mary      |opinion=For,Against
*[[Smile]]|sign |notice=Kathie    |opinion=opinion1,opinion2
*[[Kiss]] |sign |notice=Joe       |opinion=opinion1,opinion2

Phase with an opinion	Phase with the "See detail" opinion

Phases	Notice	opinion Item	Note
Sad	John	opinion1 opinion2 See detail	Someone will see the sign-field if the argument "sign" is established. If the argument "notice" is established in the page Organicdesign:Workflow:Emoticon and someone's name is/are assigned (separated by comma), the assigned will receive a email ,like Todo Tasks Extension, when the flow go to phase assigning the someone. If someone add the argument "opinion", the item of "See detail" will be added by this extension.
Grin	Mark,Jane	opinion1 opinion2 opinion3 See detail
Wink	Mary	For Against See detail
Smile	Kathie	opinion1 opinion2 See detail
Kiss	Joe	opinion1 opinion2 See detail

And someone set the argument "showhistory" in a page like followed:

{{#Workflow:Emoticon|state=Smile|size=75px |showhistory=sign,notice,opinion}}

The page will show a table like followed:

Phases	Sign	opinion	Note
Sad	John	Opinion n
Grin	Mark	See detail	Because I've selected the item of "See detail", I can see this text area. Had I selected the another item, I could not see this text area.

The openinos are just for reference.--Roc michael 16:45, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the feedback ;-) I'm copying this to OrganicDesign:Extension talk:Workflow.php where we discuss the development. I'll definitely add the dropdown, but I think the more complex aspects can be handled by adding richer information into each of the phases templates. That's why each phase has an editable template so that they can contain links, forms or other information about that phase. --Nad 20:22, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

One problem with the dropdown though is that then there's no link to the template... so I'll have to think about how the content of each phase can be edited easily --Nad 20:28, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Little Problem

I'm having the following problem:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function wfmsg() in C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki-1.11.0\extensions\Workflow\Workflow.php on line 55

How can I solve?

Since now ... thk you for the help.

Sorry for my bad English.

I've updated it to not give that error, but the fact that it was trying to execute that line means that another error will now be displayed saying that you haven't defined the NS_WORKFLOW namespace. I've updated the instructions to include this information. --Nad 10:55, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Bad Request

When I click to change states, the category box changes to show:

Error: 400 Bad Request (
Bad Request
unknown function Workflow
 )

Installed Extensions: Workflow (Version 0.0.13, 2008-08-28), FaviconLink, Parser hooks. CharInsert, Cite, Glossary, IconLink, ParserFunctions, Poem, Semantic Calendar. Semantic MediaWiki 1.1, SMW+ Extension 1.1, StringFunctions, Treeview5, PermissionACL.

It's possible SMW+ changes the ajax files, is there an interference there? Any suggestions?

SMW shouldn't be able to affect it. I'll have a look over the next few days as I'm about to do some modifications to the way the extension works. --Nad 00:56, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm getting the error:

and I'm using MediaWiki 1.13.5. -- 193.113.37.9 15:07, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
