[AliSyed1]

Hello developers , I want to trigger custom workflow when approvers click on the quick publish button . but for the rest default workflow should be trigerred. It will be helpful if you can provide easy and efficient answer.

Hi,

I think this question and answer go hand in hand with what you have already asked here: Do Not Show Quick Publish Button to Some Groups. There are two approaches you could take:

1. Overlay the "Quick Publish" Button: You can modify the button's behavior to meet your expectations. This may be more challenging if you're not comfortable working with overlays, JavaScript, and JSP.

2. Create an Extra Button: You could add an additional button, perhaps named "Quick Publish" or something similar, that triggers the custom workflow. As I explained in the other thread, you can then hide or show the buttons using granite:renderconditions based on the logged-in user.

You can check that thread for examples, but overall, the customization you're looking for will require some work. You may not find a complete coded solution elsewhere, but you will find references and guidance to help you build what you need.

Hope this helps!

you can try or test like this:

Get the quick publish button id and write a event listener using javascript function:

$(document).on("click", ".cq-siteadmin-admin-actions-quickpublish-activator", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var selectedPages = Granite.author.selection.getSelectedPages();
if (selectedPages.length > 0) {
triggerCustomWorkflow(pagePath);
}

});

===

function triggerCustomWorkflow(pagePath) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/bin/startCustomWorkflow",
data: {
pagePath: pagePath
},
success: function() {
console.log("Custom workflow triggered successfully.");
},
error: function() {
console.log("Failed to trigger custom workflow.");
}
});
}
