Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - I was able to get this to work in test but when I installed it in production the extended capabilities were grayed out. Can anyone help me with this issue. I find this perfect for what I need if I could only get it to work in production.

New Post: Upgrading from wss3 to 2010

antnyuk — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:53:10 GMT

Sorry but just noticed the separate project for 2010 under http://spdactivities2010.codeplex.com/

Guess this means I'll have to upgrade the content DB's then re-create the workflows. - thanks

I'm currently using the extended workflow to copy from one site to another in WSS3 but are due to move to 2010 standard. Has anyone successfully upgraded existing workflows?

Thanks,

New Post: Send Email with List Item Attachments - Variable "from email address"

cyndi2403 — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:34:18 GMT

When I hard code one email address in the display email the workflow is perfect. However, I would like the display email address to be the user who created the item. I tried to use a workflow variable to pull that in but it error's out. Is there a way to make the display email address a variable tied to the person who created the item? I am using 2007.

I want to do this exact same thing in SharePoint Designer 2010. Is there an update or will this same project work in 2010? Thanks.

Hi,

I installed the solution successfully. However, I can’t see the action in SharePoint Designer 2007.

How can I fix this?

I REALLY need this. Help, please.

Thanks in advanced.

New Comment on "Copy List Item Extended Activity"

cjrogala — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 08:33:13 GMT

I am receiving an error when using this in one of my workflows. Basically, I have a survey for retaining overtime approved requests. The business request is to be able to store the data in the questions and who created the survey in another list so it cannot be edited. In order to do this, I created two additional lists, moveList (user has write access) and historyList (user does not have access). In the workflow, I create an item in the moveList where the createdBy for the survey entry is stored as a field in the list. When the item is created, I store the new item's ID in a workflow variable, createdItemID. However, when I use the Move extended and reference this ID it fails and gives me the following error: System.ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range. at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItemCollection.GetItemById(Int32 id) at DP.Sharepoint.Workflow.CopyListItemExtended.<>c__DisplayClass2.<Execute>b__0() at Microsoft.SharePoi... I figured maybe there was an issue with the data types not matching, so I created a seperate workflow variable, moveID, which is an integer and set it equal to createdItemID. This did not fix the error. So then I tested the Move extended by setting the moveID variable equal to a known ID(5) in the list. This did work, so I'm a little lost to why this is failing? Does anyone have any insight to why this may be failing? I'm thinking it may have something to do with the two procedures being called by the server are being executed on two different threads. I'll keep testing this, and if I find a solution I will post.

New Post: Revoke all permissions from list item

gbark — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 16:09:53 GMT

Is there a way to remove all permissions (SharePoint Groups) from a list item that are inherited from the parent list? By default when a new list item is created it will inherit the permissions from the list. I need to remove all the inherreted permissions and then assign the required item level permission. As far as I can see, the Delete List Item Permission Assigment action requires as specific user or group to remove.

New Post: I have successfully ported this over to 2010

rmuschiana — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:42:16 GMT

To everyone that is looking for a 2010 version:

I took the time to port this work over to a 2010 solution. Its turnkey, all you need to do in the project is specify the url of your sharepoint server and you are good to go (or just deploy the already compiled wsp if you have no desire to make any changes). I have also added the capability to specify a BCC address that the original email activity has to all of the custom email activities in this project. I have contacted the owner of this project and once i hear back i will figure out how to share the 2010 version of the project with everyone.

Thanks,

-Rob

New Post: Item permission activity and other custom code.

Chernobrivec — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 12:19:45 GMT

Good day.

I have a question about permission activities.

I tried to implement something similar(after item is changed or added assign specific permissions on item) but i encountered problem:

i have custom console application which updates some data in lists and after calling item.Update()(or any other version of Update method, for example SystemUpdate()) it triggers workflow(in first implementation it was asynchronous receiver).

But this workflow(asynchronous receiver) is hosting in thread of console application and console application does not know anything about thread of workflow.

And when console application closes it shuts down all unfinished workflows(asynchronous receivers), so permissions are not granted.

How i can resolve this problem? That's why you are using service to grant permissions?

Best regards,

Chernobrivec.

New Post: Copy List Item Extended Activity SharePoint 2010?

IfEyeOnlyKnew — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 22:18:02 GMT

Is the Copy List Item Extended Activity going to work or is coded to work in SharePoint 2010. I see alot of hit and misses in the discussions.

Will the List Item be overwritten on a Custom List? I see that it will on a Document Library (File).

Thanks,

Workflow sometimes doesn’t even start, if there are any actions with permissions. Sometimes workflow starts, but only logs are written to history and workflow fails on any other actions.
