Hi All

We're working on a project at the moment which we will model using CiviCase. The system to be implemented is to allow branches to file plans for the coming year into CiviCRM. We'll be doing this using CiviCase to allow the branches to manage the activities around the plans and to be to able to have some workflow to the completion of a plan etc.

We've started to use Webform to configure the user interface as the Branch users are not going to be trained CiviCRM users, the aim being to produce a simple set of fields for them to complete, resulting in the creation of a case.

We have the following issues at present and are hoping someone can shed some light on them

1. Following the successful submission of a webform a case is created as expected. What we'd like to do is to present the user with the case overview - is there any way we can get the case id created during the submission so that we can navigate to the case overview page?

2. We'd like to have the case description as part of the web form but it doesn't appear as a field we can select, the same issue applies to the start date of the case. Is there any way we can get these fields to appear in webforms?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Coleman.

I think Case Subject is exposed but not the case Description, which we need.

If you could point me in the direction of what to read/look at I'm happy to give it a shot locally and supply some patches for the work done.

Thanks

well in theory if you simply add a field to the wf_crm_get_fields() function in webform_civicrm_utils.inc and use the name supported by the api and fill in the field info as supported by webform, it will work.

I love this guy's idea of 'simply' ;-)
