String manipulation - Is there a INSTR (In String) functionality
Has anyone developed an In String functionality?
Something like this: InString(Base String, Find String, Start Location) that returns the starting character location of the find string within the base string when found, and returns -1 when not found?
Option : If start location is -1 then it returns the starting location of the last occurence of the Find String.
This would be useful for manipulating URL connection strings.
Thanks,
Steve L.

Date Comparisons
Hi, I am new to nintex 2012. I am comparing a workflow variable of date(ignore time) with a default value of todays date with workflow variable of date/time dataype that came from my list. If the work flow variable from my lsit equals the work flow variable that contains todays date, I want to send out a notification. It doesn't work. Am I overlooking something?
tmpSSLExpiresdDate is where the result from the query list is stored as it loops through .
Below is my If condition after the query
Condition if any value equals value
Where workflow Data dtTODAY
equals (ignoring time)
workflow Date tmpSSLExpiresDate
Thanks for your help.

Request Approval Action - Multiple emails sent - Nintext 2007
When using a Request Approval action, there are multiple emails going to the approver. This occurs because I add text to the "Edit Approval Required Notification" and have delivery type = email vs. none.
The first one is received right when the action is hit in the workflow. It contains the text that was entered in the “Edit Approval Required Notification” step. This is what I would expect.
The second email happens when the workflow engine fires on the 5 minute mark. It appears to be the generic “Workflow Tasks XXX has been assigned to you” message.
I would like the approvers to only receive one email notification, preferably the text that I added in the “Edit Approval Required Notification” section, not the generic message sent by SharePoint.
Is this working by design or is there a setting I can adjust to change this functionality and only have one message sent?

Is it possible without coding?
Your help would be appreciated.

Unable to export workflow using web services.
I am trying to export workflows from my system using a PowerShell script. When I run this script, I receive the error "Access is Denied". When I trace it with Fiddler, it is registering a 500 error with the same message: "Accessi Denied".
$webserviceurl = $site + "/_vti_bin/NintexWorkflow/Workflow.asmx"
$credential = Get-Credential
# get web service proxy
$page = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $webserviceurl -Credential $credential;
$page.Url = $webserviceurl;
$exportedworkflow = $page.ExportWorkflow($workflowname,$list,'Reusable');
I and the credential entered both are in the site collection administrators' group and are farm admins as well. I have deactivated and re-activated the Nintex features at the site and site collection level and re-activated the web application.
Digging a little deeper, the following error messages were found in the ULS:
Unknown SPRequest error occurred. More information: 0x80070005 0e0c14fe-15c5-42cc-b51a-7c96f2b07cf8

Is this actually a permissions problem? If so, what are those permissions? As it is a 500 error, it is being thrown from the workflow web service application logic.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

NWADMIN -o configuresettings NintexWorkflowSetup.xml
Hi there,
does anyone have a sample XML which can be used to configure a NINTEX workflow 2010 installation? Finally, I need to apply the same configuration to ~20 Sharepoint farms with a specific set of allowed workflow actions. I do not plan to configure this amount of farms manually (and make dozens of type mistakes), however the documentation from NINTEX is quite rare about a valid XML which can be used to automate the configuration. Trying to understand the provided XSD does not give me too many clues.. especially not on the tag "<ActionActivations...>"
Any hints or even a sample XML are highly appreciated....
Thanks

Set Item Permission - adding users to top level permissions
I am using the Set Item Permissions action to set permissions on a list item.
When I use this action, it is writing the user to a higher level sites permissions as "Limited Access", not just the item level permissions.
For example, I have a site Human Resources with a list Tuition Reimbursment Request.
In my workflow, I set the item permission
* To not inherit from parent
* To remove exisiting permissions
* Assign Read access to my user "Joe"
I would expect these permissions to only appear on the list item. When I look at the Human Resources Site permissions, I see an entry for my user "Joe" that was written at the site level as Limited Access, not just the item list level.
How do I keep this permission change only at the list item level? The site level permissions can get pretty messy with all of the users fairly quickly.

Send Notification template
I have a workflow that assigns a flexi task to a group of users. When they approve or decline the task I configured a Send Notification node to send an email back to the Initiator of the task. How do I change the template of that email? I know I can add information in the box, but I want to change the information that automatically gets put in there. For example here is a declined task email:
Approver comments by Ben Leach: Ben Leach (Decline) 2/26/2013 10:04 AM - 2/26/2013 10:05 AM
(Ben Leach) Your task has been declined because you missed the deadline.
Link to item: Ben Tuesday Test 8
Here is how I have it coded in the node:
Approver comments by Last Task Respondent Display Name: Approver Comments
Link to item: Title
I do not want this information in there: Ben Leach (Decline) 2/26/2013 10:04 AM - 2/26/2013 10:05 AM
(Ben Leach)
How do I remove this?
Thanks,
Benjamin

InfoPath Form for Nintex Workflow 2010 does not work in subsites
I have created a Site Collection Reusable workflow using Nintex Workflow 2010 for SharePoint 2010 and have customised a InfoPath initiation form for the Workflow. When I run the workflow, it seems to work fine at the top web in a SharePoint Site Collection, however, when I try to run the workflow on a subwebsite or any deeper, I get the following error when trying to start the workflow:
A form template (.xsn) file cannot be accessed. You may not have the required
permissions to open the file.
Correlation ID: "Correlation ID displayed"
Any ideas as to why this is happening? We are running the latest March 2012 CU for our SharePoint 2010 environment.

Web Service, Query XML and XPath
Hi,
I'm running into the following issue when calling a web service to retrieve the principal information of a user and then try to get the UserInfoID value. Calling the web service to retrieve the principal information works fine. I get a result back from the Person.asmx (store it in a Workflow variable) that looks like this:
<xml>
<PrincipalInfo xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<AccountName>vpc-moss\admin</AccountName>
<UserInfoID>17</UserInfoID>
<DisplayName>Administrator</DisplayName>
<Email>email@adres.com</Email>
<Department>xyz</Department>
<IsResolved>true</IsResolved>
<PrincipalType>User</PrincipalType>
</PrincipalInfo>
</xml>
After calling the web service, I added a Query XML step and try to retrieve the value of the <UserInfoID> tag via XPath and store it in a Workflow variable called PersonID. However the following XPath queries are all empty:
- /xml/PrincipalInfo/UserInfoID
- //UserInfoID
Do I miss something here?
Thanks, Maarten

Error with checkbox click event adding to Text Box NF2010
I am trying to make a checkbox click event that when the checkbox is clicked it will insert a text into the text box. When I debug it doesn't show that anything is being recognized. What am I doing wrong? I've tried using jquery and jscript styles and both give me nothing. I am new to Nintex so I bbelieve it has to do with the setting of jscript variables on the sharepoint item.
Textbox JScript Variable - TextFileRec
Checkbox JScript Variable - CBFileRec
Here is where I am currently
NWF$(document).ready(function(){
NWF$(CBFileRec).click(function(){
var
text = TextFileRec;
var CB = CBFileRec;
if (CB
== true)
{
text.value = "Insert Text"
}
});

Failed to open config file - error when publishing
Here is the error: Server was unable to process request. ---> Failed to publish workflow: <Error>Failed to open config file</Error>
I noticed last time I left browser open for over an hour after publish. Then I tried to edit the workflow, save and republish. That when I got the error. I am unable to recover from it unless I save it as a template and create new workflow from that template. Is it known problem or we are first who encounter that?. It has happen with 3 other workflows in the last 2 weeks.
Thank you.
