I reinstalled and now I am getting the following...

Same thing here.

Oh my god! It seems that the HTML filtered out some tags... :-( Please see the original post, it should display the corrected XML (again).

The Workflow tag should contain following namespaces:

<WorkflowConfiguration xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://Leadit.SharePoint.Workflow/WorkflowConfiguration">

works great, Having a little trouble with the email.

please disregard. I needed to enable smtp mail relay

Now working, thanks.

Jan,

Why don't you publish the source code?

Really nice product, keep working on it!!!

Oriol.-

Great work! Trying to the SENDMAIL action working but having a little trouble. This is the message saved to the event viewer:

Unable to instantiate event handler (assembly "Leadit.SharePoint.Workflow, Version=0.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3948f234bbbabe18", class "Leadit.SharePoint.Workflow.EventHandler"), or report event for "In Review/Full page fax print.pdf" in "In Review".

I have specified a From email address in the format name@company.com.

>I have specified a From email address in the format name@company.com.

Sorry, this is incorrect. I've specified the "To" email address like: <Parameter1>name@company.com</Parameter1>. I don't know what user it is using as the Sender. I gess Workflow Lite takes care of that?

Lloyd, could you verify that the account you are using to run the workflow (the one specified in the machine.config), has an email address in SharePoint?

Thanks Jan, that solved it. Is there a particular reason why the workflow user is being used as the sender rather than the "Modified By" user?

Yes, it was a design choice. It's easier to enforce that that service account has an email, than each user.

could you please tell the solution for this.

Great work, exactly what SharePoint Needed!!
Now for the Question, can it be used to send docs from subsite to a Portal Area? It works fine with doc libs within same area or site

Dave, this feature will become available in the next version.

Hi guys!

I can't seem to make it work v RC1C work. I deleted all the action types and only used DELETESOURCE but it doesn't work. Anybody has the same problem? I don't think the config.xml I edited is being accessed..How can I know if it is being used or not.

Pls help!
Thanks!

Check the event viewer? I found the error logs that in the Application section will show you what's working and what isn't. Also you might want to ensure that you have added the assembly items into the advance settings of your doclib.

I had that happen to me and since it didn't register any errors in the event logs I realised my mistake.

I have just downloaded and installed the RC1c version. All the Installation steps were performed successfully. But i'm unable to see any new columns like Status, comments etc in my library. Nothing in the event logs too. Infact, it doesn't seem to have any effect on the site. Can you please let me know what may be the problem? Thanks.

Can any one please tell me where to get the Leadit.SharePoint.Workflow.dll from, it isn't in the installation package....

I've been working to get this running,  and now I finally did.  here are some stuff I had luck with,  and a few questions for problems I still have.

The new columns (status, comments) must be added by you to the document library.

If you want to extract the files ,  you can run the command -

msiexec -a <leadit-msi-file>

which will create network install,  but in the resulting directory you get all the files from the install and do the manual install steps from the readme.

To test if the XML file is getting run or not, just put some random text at the top,  and then try to run the event.  If it was run, you'll see an error in your application event log about an invalid XML file.

I'm having some trouble copying docs between libs.  It just keeps telling me my "In Review" folder does not exist.

Is there any more explicit documenation for the actions and what the parameter fields are supposed to be?  I can tell mostly from the config file, but is there any other examples not in the default config file?

Thanks.  Great looking workflow tool, and free to boot.  Too bad it won't likely be updated with MOSS 2007 supposed to include many of these features out of the box.
