WorkFlow admin "My pending Items" is empty..

Thursday 11 March 2010 4:27:23 am

Hi
I have created an workflow for first time.
My work flow is like this:
1. Editor Makes some edits in folder class object publishes it.(it should not published to user site now)
2. Administrator approves it and now the content should be published to user site.
When i create an folder class object in my site and publish it with Editor login it is stored in "My pending Items"
My issue is that when i check with admin login there is nothing in "My pending Items".
can any one help me in this please.
If u need more info of how i have created this workflow to get better idea about the issue please feel free to ask me more details..
Thank you,
Akhilesh

Hi Robin,
Thank you for replying ...

I don't have much idea about configuring cronjobs.
I have referred a document for setting up an work flow steps involved in this are:
In Standard workflow, created New workflow "Approve" with Event/Multiplexer choice from the select form.
for Classes, in order to run the workflow, I selected folder values.
Administrator users in the Users without workflow IDs.
And then created another workflow naming "approving system" by selecting Event/Approve from the select form.
All sections value for the Affected sections
All versions Affected versionsAdministrator users group for Groups who Approve Content and Excluded user groups area.
Saved my new workflow.
I have re-edit the "Approve" workflow and select the "approving system" workflow as the Workflow to run.
And then in Triggers tab
For the content module of the publish before function, I have choosen the workflow "Approve".
This is all what i have done by referring an document.
but I don't thing i have configured cronjobs for this as it was not mentioned in document or i didn't get, can you please guide me how to configure cronjobs for this. we have setup this site on WINDOWS XP SYSTEM
or is there any issue in the steps which i have followed to create Workflow .....

Really sorry for long reply but i am creating workflow for first time and i really need this so please guide me..
Thank you in advance..

Hello Robin,

I have gone through the document which you have suggested, it is very helpful to me.

I followed the given steps from that documents as below,
1. Command:

php runcronjobs.php

Output:

Error initializing script: database error: No database handler was found for 'ezmysqli'.

2. I have cross-checked with

Command:

php --version

Output:

PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: May  2 2008 18:02:07)
Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies

3. Then I checked,

Command:

php -m

the output comes with the list of activated modules in php.

But as per document I don't get mysql & mysqli modules in this output, can you please give me idea how to activate module in php. then also I went further.

4. Command:

php runcronjobs.php -d

Output:

Error initializing script: database error: No database handler was found for 'ezmysqli'.

I didn't get what they said regarding "safe mode / open_base_dir".

how to enabled/disabled "safe mode / open_base_dir".
Please me take me out from this, I really stuck here..

Thank You,

Hello Robin,

In my php.ini files the required extensions are already uncommented.
and is same in the case of "safe mode / open_basedir" it is already disabled.

just look at this

extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
safe_mode = Off
;open_basedir =

So what to do then ........

Thank You,
Akhilesh
