Introduction

This project is an extension to the SPMeta2 library. At the moment the project allows you to deploy nintex forms to the SP2013 on prem. I am sure 2016 should work too but it has not been specificly tested.

Getting Started

Look into the SPMeta2.NintexExt.CSOM.SP13.Test program for the sample of how you can use the package to deploy a nintex form. Onprovisioning/Onprovisioned code is optional.

Build and Test

Build the projects, this would be enough 😃.

revisions history

0.0.5

refactoring, removed the SPMeta2.NintexExt.Core project alltogether.

namespaces are left in place

we do not plan for now to develop an SSOM version on premise, and the O365 obviously only gives us the CSOM version.

Moreover, features and definitions are so different between on prem and O365 so it would make sense to move the definitions out of the core into the respective projects.

0.0.4

added support for site workflows on prem (sp13)

0.0.3

We have added a first version of Nintex for Office 365 forms. For now the content type is not supported yet and the form will be published to the default content type as the API documentation and the samples that Nintex provide are rather blurry. Also keep in mind that you might encounter stragne errors - in our case we could not test the assigned use as apparently some licenses do not allow that.

0.0.2

Fixed the csom references for the on-premise package (now we refer to 15.0.0.0 to be compatible with old SDKs) Note that the rerference to the CSOM package has been removed on purpose so you can use any sharepoint csom package as long as microsoft.sharepoint.client is at least 15.0.0.0

Added an initial ability to provision list workflows. As we had to separately call the nintex wcf service, for now only windows authentication is supported. Try it and let us know .

0.0.1

Initial release with nintex forms publishing on prem only
