Balaji GK	Thursday 21 May 2009 11:26:04 pm Hi, I am a newbie to Exponential. I am trying to automate a workflow, which will get initiated automatically when a user tries to upload a file inside Exponential content structure. Is it possible to implement this?

Łukasz Serwatka	Friday 22 May 2009 12:29:31 am Hi, You could hook your workflow event to the content-publish-after. So it will be executed when e.g file or image object is created. That should also work with extension such as ezmultiupload and other extensions which use eZContentUpload class. Old tutorial http://ez.no/Exponential/documentation/development/extensions/workflow_events which should give you some ideas. As a start point you might use RAD tool from Exponential Setup section in the administration interface. Personal website -> http://serwatka.net Blog (about eZ Publish) -> http://serwatka.net/blog
Balaji GK	Friday 22 May 2009 2:06:51 am Hi, I was able to trigger workflow event after file or image creation and it also followed an approval process.But i would require a trigger to a workflow when I upload files using webdav or ftp. Also deploy those files to an another shared file directory.Are there any default deployment scripts in Exponential? Operating System:Fedora Linux 9 PHP Version: 5.2.9 Regards, Balaji.G.K
