Hi,

I have a problem with SharePoint & K2 Integration.

Is there any event in K2.Net Studio (of an activity) that will be filled out in SharePoint & will be listed as a task of the destination user in the K2.Net 2003 Task list Web part (in SPS)?

Anybody can help me? Thanks.

Hi, it works the other way around, K2.net creates a task as part of a process that task will then be listed in the K2.net Task List web part. If you have a document library that is configured to start a new process when ever a new document is instated, the page used in SPS to upload a document becomes the start page of the process and all metadata filled out on that pages becomes available in the process. Take the time to explain in more detail what your requirements are of this does not help you in anyway.
Thanks for your early reply. This is my detail explanation:

A simple example:

When the originator upload a document to a document library with filling some fields in a SharePoint site (use SharePoint 2003 Template Process), the process is started and send to the manager. The manager can enter the SharePoint site to approve this document throught K2.Net 2003 Task list Web part. He can approve a task in this Web part (click on a task in this Web part) by filling out a SharePoint form of a SharePoint list (not by a K2.Net 2003 SmartForm).

What should I do now? Thanks a lot.
Hi,

SharePoint does not have any pages that can act on behalf of the standard K2.net SmartForms, each Worklist item must have a valid page (UI) that can be used to action the item. K2.net SmartForms works well because of the SPS Doc Attachment control, this saves developers loads of time not having to code this from scratch. My recommendation: design a K2.net SmartForm but design it in such a way that it blends into your SPS environment. Lists in SPS cannot be used because of the lack of an event model in the background.
Hello guys,

I hope this is the right topic for this question. We have some userdata related problems and for the time being we can't find any articles or ideas about how to solve it, so I hope someone can help us.

The problem is that we need to use Sharepoint Profiles to get user information instead of AD (as we have no direct access to AD, thanks to some business decisions of our customers). How can we do this? Is it possible to use SP profiles instead of AD at all? Does K2.NET support something like this? Is there any articles about this topic somewhere on the net?

Thanks in advance!
Hi,

Out of the box K2.net 2003 supports AD, this can be changed by some custom development. The SQL User Manager is an example of a custom user manager, however one must realize that some functionality with components making use of Integrated Authentication can be lost in the process of implementing a custom user manager. Coming back to your question, the standard components cannot make use of SPS user profiles you will have to develop a custom user manager to accommodate this need.
