Hi liliana

I installed the PM v.3.0 (RC1) on a test CENTOS 7.0 server. I followed all the instructions to the letter I think.

I could access the servers from my workstation and went through a normal installation.

However, after I login as an administrator and clicking on the DESIGNER tab I can only see the classic version of the process designer. The BPMN version is not available. I tried reinstalling but the results are the same.

I installed the Windows version of v.3.0 (RC1) on my local machine and it works perfectly.

Can anyone help?

I've just started to use RC1, and I'm getting the following error when trying to preview a dropdown populated from user data in the default db:

RuntimeException:
No connection params set for 555019319550b0fcfcf7209063422441

I'm creating a BPMN project. I've defined a local db connection to the appropriate workflow database and tested it.
I've created a string variable, found the db connection in the dropdown for "Database Connection", and used the following Sql:

"SELECT USR_EMAIL, CONCAT(USR_FIRSTNAME, ' ', USR_LASTNAME) FROM USERS"

I've created a new form in Dynaforms, and dragged the created variable into the form. Selected "dropdown". The form element was auto-populated with SQL info from the variable, including the "DB Connection" which was "555019319550b0fcfcf7209063422441" (the same ID as the error number above).

When I preview the form I get the above error. Here are the remainder of the error lines:

At Propel::getConnection()
in /installdir/workflow/engine/classes/class.pmDynaform.php line 115
At pmDynaform->jsonr()

At require_once() in /installdir/workflow/public_html/sysGeneric.php line 977
At include() in /installdir/workflow/public_html/app.php line 52

I'm baffled. Any help would be appreciated. I've been through all of the relevant documentation and can't figure out if it is a bug or I'm doing something wrong.

Hi jafferh,

Do you still have the same problem?

Hi canux01,

Could you report the problem on this page please?

[NLj015]

Estimada, llevo unos días probando la RC1 y tengo la siguiente consulta:
¿Es posible en esta versión tener un campo de texto dependiente de otro campo de texto?
Pregunto esto ya que en el editor de formularios BPMN al elegir un campo dependiente solo sale la opción de elegir un campo del formulario tipo dropdown, tomando en cuenta que en el formulario tengo posibles campos como texto, radiogroup, text área y etc.

Segundo, he notado que las consultas SQL para campos de texto ya no obedecen a la estructura [SELECT columna1 FROM tabla1 WHERE columna =’algo’], lanza un error en la preview y en la ejecución del formulario (consulta probada con éxito en el mismo rc1 en un proceso con formulario de la versión 2.X), mientras que si la consulta se cambia a una estructura [SELECT columna1, columna2 FROM tabla1 WHERE columna =’algo’], funciona correctamente, implicando que todas las consultas ¿SQL deben venir con una respuesta de [ID, contenido de la consulta]?

saluda atte luis

[liliana]

Hola NLj015,
Recientemente estuve haciendo pruebas con los campos dependientes y en mi caso si te permite usar campos de tipo texto el problema es que el campo no se esta populando (Revisare esto con nuestro equipo de desarrollo).

Por otro lado si es necesario que definas el UID de tu campo para las consultas.

Hi,

Do responsive HTML forms support javascript or will they ever? I see no mention of it and don't want to spend the time installing another release

Cheers

[liliana]

Hi rundyz,

Yes it does. Since this is based on jquery, this supports any javascript you want to use. We are releasing the RC2 release on Tuesday 31st so if you want you can wait until it to install and run some tests.

Regards,

[rundyz]

Bewdy, thanks

Hello,

I have also confirmed this database connection bug - was it ever actually reported in the bug tracker? Or resolved?

I can successfully connect and perform an SQL query against the 'workflow' database native to ProccessMaker, but if I try a connection to any other database outside of processmaker, it induces the error. I have utlized the standalone installer - so I haven't created a database on the localhost to test to see if I will connect to that). I have added 2 connections, and tested them (they say that they are successful).

I started going back to previous documentation and looking at the 'trigger' way to do it - but that doesn't work either as far as I can tell (not in preview - or otherwise). This is a pretty critical feature - to utilize external databases for field population.

I tried to login to the bug reporting system, but it replied that my login was bad.

thanks,

-Chris
