Processmaker web entry form redirect post.php automatically resets to its default file content after several hours. Our team changed the web entry 's default success message but the file post.php keep on resetting the file content. We followed the instruction posted in this thread viewtopic.php?f=41&t=712867&p=794179&hi ... ry#p794179 . How can we retain the modified code.
Thank you.

I investigated this and found that the contents of the {step-id}.php and {step-id}Post.php files are overwritten every time the process is saved, which happens automatically every time there is some change in the process map.

To prevent this from happening, you need to change the file permissions so they are read-only.
For example, if the files are stored on a Linux system at:
/opt/processmaker/shared/sites/workflow/public/3336176725aec6847b9c588033887956/9963717885aec691c6eec28033805693.php

Then you can use these commands to make the files read-only and only allow the root user to change them:

Code: Select all

chown -R root:root /opt/processmaker/shared/sites/workflow/public/3336176725aec6847b9c588033887956 
chmod -R go-w root:root /opt/processmaker/shared/sites/workflow/public/3336176725aec6847b9c588033887956

That way, ProcessMaker can't overwrite the web entry files. If you need to change the DynaForm used by Web Entry, you will need to set the Apache user as the owner so that ProcessMaker can then overwrite these files:

Code: Select all

chown -R apache:apache /opt/processmaker/shared/sites/workflow/public/3336176725aec6847b9c588033887956

Where the Apache user is "apache:apache" in CentOS/Red Hat, "www-data:www-data" in Debian/Ubuntu, "wwwrun:www" in SUSE/OpenSUSE or
"daemon:daemon" if a Bitnami installation in any Linux distribution.
