How to override Approve button for list item?

Hello,
Is there a way how to override the method that runs after list item is approved / rejected? I know there is a way for the Save button but I can't find how to do it for the Approve button.
I have a list with approval and workflow. Then I have a page that displays the items from the list in my webpart in a calendar/grid way. The items in the webopart have links leading to the display form with the item ID and Source parameters. Source parameter
leads back to this page. The background color of the item in the webpart is decided by the approval state of the item.
When user approves the item and the item form closes user is then sent to the page with the webpart (via the Source parameter) but the workflow takes couple of seconds more to process the aproval so the color is not changed when the webpart renders but if
the page is refreshed it shows the correct color because the workflow has finished.
I want to override the Approval method, let it update the item so the workflow can fire and process the approval, delay the form a bit and then continue as usual so when the user is redirected to the webpart page it would render with the correct state.
I can make a delay page that redirects to the webpart page and change the Source parameter in the items link to go there but it doesn't look that great.
Or maybe there is a way how to do it in Javascript? I am using it in the new item form using the SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options) function where the dialogReturnValueCallback refreshes the windows after 3 seconds.
dialogReturnValueCallback: function(dialogResult) {
if (dialogResult == SP.UI.DialogResult.OK) {
setTimeout(function(){window.location = "MyPageUrl"}, 3000)
Thanks for any tips and ideas!

you can try to achieve this via separate responsibility by personalizing the form by display false on the particular control button..

I want a push button for line items in my sales order entry screen.

Hi,
I want a push button for line items in my sales order entry screen.
How can I do so?
Thanks.

Hi Kumar ,
To have a push buttons you need to first assign a pf-status .
here a sample code for a push button and its handling :
set pf-status 'SELECT' .
at user-command .
describe table t_lpr lines w_lines .
case sy-ucomm .
    when 'SELECTALL' .
      set pf-status 'SELECT' excluding 'SELECTALL' immediately.
      do w_lines times .
        read line w_line field value w_check . " INTO W_CHECK .
        if w_check = space .
          w_check = 'X' .
          modify line w_line field value w_check.    "INTO W_CHECK .
          add 1 to w_line .
        endif .                        " IF W_CHECK = ' '
      enddo .
Thus when you say pf-status say 'select' , Double click on that and you find a screen eher you can select icons and assign a function code to it!
Hope it helps!
Much Regards,
Amuktha .

How to define Approval Hirearchy for Fixed Assets?

Hello All,
Couls someone please tell me How to define Approval Hirearchy for Fixed Assets which should be different as compared to normal item purchase.Reply me ASAP
Regards
Aditya

Hi,
The AP invoice approval used AME rules for finding the approver. You can base you AME rules on virutally anything.
In this particular case, you can base your AME rules on one of the followings:
1. If any of the Distribution Accounts contain Fixed Assets natural account
2. You can define a separate document category which should be used with invoices for FA Purchase and use the category in AME rules to find approver
3. You can have a DFF at the Invoice Header level to indicate that this is a fixed asset purchase invoice and have this DFF to be used in AME rules.

Workflow for list item cancels

Hello!
I create item in PWA list via timer procedure (c#).
I have a workflow configured in SPD on item creation.
In timer code I open a web from definet user, so item in list creates without any problem (author - this definite user), but workflow stops immediately with error:

When I run code with elevated privileges, workflow runs without error, but from system account (it looks like this, because workflow can't create Project from item and it creates tasks as Workflow, not as "Workflow from user").

I also have restarted IIS for1000s times...
Help me please, how can I run workflow from specific user (I gave him even app admin permissions, but it still doesn't work)?

Hello!
I have found solution.
I have study dozen forums and sites about SP and this one
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6382583/use-credentials-to-interact-with-the-client-object-model-of-sharepoint gave me an idea.
I had to rewrite my code. I set
using (ClientContext context = new ClientContext("http://yourserver/")) {
context.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "password", "domain");//here my code for list item creation}
instead of
SPSite spsite = new SPSite(siteUrl, spusertoken);
SPWeb web = spsite.OpenWeb();
// and so on
So, now SP has no problem with fiding initiator profile and workflows starts correctly automatically after an item was created.
Maybe this solution could save somebody's day.

List had 2 columns:
Project Name: (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6)

All project Leads can have permission to edit only their Project (P1, P2, P3) like
PL1 can edit P1
PL2 Can edit P2.....
But my Question is how to restrict PL2 cannot have permission to edit P1

How to allow user defined in list item to see item using only Designer. Approver set in list item can't see items they are to approve.

SharePoint 2010 and Designer 2010.
We have a list of items that users enter information into. Only the user who enters the data can see the item. It's confidential stuff.
One field is the name of the person who will approve this record.
Workflow sends approver an email and sets a task to approve the item.
Problem is that the user set as approver cannot see the item.
We can't have a list of approvers - as all staff can potentially be approvers.
We can't allow anyone other than the person who created the item and the person that is set as approver in a field to have access.
I am not a programmer, but a user of SharePoint Designer 2010.
(I did think we had this sorted by sending an email containing all the list item fields, but this task still requires permissions).

Hi ,
I understand that after you grant user permission on current item ,the user still cannot approve the workflow task .This is because the user doesn't have approve permission in the Tasks list .You only grant the user permission on current item in current
list ,so he can approve the item by clicking the Approve/Reject in the edit control block .
Your workflow is correct ,now you need to grant the users Approve (a permission level) permission in the Tasks list settings .In this way ,the users can finish the tasks .
Thanks
