This question is based on Stefans implementation of Decline with
Reason.

I am trying to implement it and receive a javascript error.
window.opener is null or not an object. Any quick fix?

Is there more notes or documetation on enhancing workflow actions like
this in addition to what CMS already does?

I would like to on submit action perform steps
1) Ask question, Do you want to send an email? If Yes
2) second screen select the person/editor who you want to send the
mail to with notes and send?

Similarly for decline action..


Other question : I have seen the implementation of email using the
Global.asax file in gotdotnet and msdn.
and "decline with Reason" from gotdotnet.

The "Decline with Reason" does not use Global.asax file at all. Why so.
When to use which method?

Any insight or direction to documentation would be helpful
Thanks
Prasad

Hi Laks,

this error does not occur on my test setup.
Please check with a script debugger where exactly the error occurs.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi
I had the error figured out. Any comments on the second portion of the
request?
thanks

Hi Laks,

you mean the dialog to select the person?
Check the whitepaper below and implement a similar dialog as for the save
new page dialog.

I see a brief descriptin under status and action controls. Is there a
code sample for it?
thx.

Hi Laks,

the decline with reason is a code sample that does something similar:
present a dialog before issuing the action.
Implement the same for the approve action and add the drop down with the
editors to choose for it.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Done...

The drop down has ids from CMS. It does not contain the email address.
our email addresses are in Exchange server. I have seen a  few posts
here and one of your post in ur blog where u have sample for retrieving
from AD. Any clues on how it can be done for Exchange?
Thanks

Also why does your code not use Global.asax file? The microsoft sample
for email uses Global.asax. Which is better and when should we use
which method?
thx again

Hi Laks,

no idea. You should post this question to an Exchange related newsgroup.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Laks,

which code do you mean?
The code retrieving the AD users?
Or the console action?
Please specify.

Cheers,
Stefan.
