Is it possible to start a workflow on asset folder?

[Rui_J]

Hi,

  I have a requirement that I need to start a workflow on a selected asset workflow. This will iterate each asset under this folder and process some work. But when I right click on an asset folder, the "workflow" option is disabled. So I am wondering if it is possible to start a workflow on an asset folder?

Thanks

It's definitely possible, however I would use a servlet instead. When a thumbnail is generated on the folder, it will cause your workflow to fire. It gets ugly quick.

Please use the Workflow console and use your folder path as payload

http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/workflow/content/console.html

If I understand you correctly, you are saying on siteadmin page, overwrite the dialog javascript to enable the workflow on context menu, then write a servlet to trigger the workflow?

Sorry, I thought you were talking about adding a workflow launcher on a sling:OrderedFolder. Where are you trying to add the functionality?
