Ok,

I found another class but not testet:
OOoPHP
http://www.apicnet.net/article.php3?id_article=73

When you start programming the output the pdfway, I do the import in the same way like mutipleuploads,

we need later only these additional functions:

When downloading one ooo document the folder and everything below is set to draft.
When uploading the draft is overriden and published. Thats a problem but can solved later.

And we need anyone, who makes webdav working for this, downloading fresh generated sxw and uploading.
And before make webdav working generally for different users.
Then documanagement is nearly ready.

Greetings, ekke

Wow, this sounds promising! While most of this conversation is above my knowledge level, I am learning a lot. :) But I have one question. How are these documents to be styled? Ekke mentions that the styles are removed, but Paul thinks they should be included... Are you speaking of style definitions, or XML tags that apply style (XSL version of 'font color:red' vs. 'strong')? It makes sense to me to strip specific style definitions (font color etc.), but not the tags. Is there a reason why both should be removed? Is there a reason to keep the style definitions, and thus lose the separation of style and content?

Thanks,

Alex

In an oo doc styles and content are indeed separate. They are important if you want to recreate a document that looks the same as the original imported version. But this might not be important. I believe there is a third element in an oo document called settings.xml which to me looks like it applies the styles to the content, but i may be wrong...

Once a document is captured, or written natively within eZ are the exact styles important? For a new document i would say it isnt but maybe for an important document it will be.

However, once the initial work gets an document in and out further work and look at retaining styles. For example the conversion program i mentioned builds XSLT based on the styles of the document. That could be used to display the document on a web page, plus to recreate the same styles in an exported doc.

Walking before running is important here :)

I think once something is up and running and on pubsvn we can perhaps put a project plan together about how to proceed. If Ekkehard doesn't mind others helping that is ;)

That makes sense. Thanks for the details Paul. It sounds like a promising direction in general.

I'll prepare a first hack version of officeimport.php out of root as soon as possible, so you can play with the input. Then we can discuss together the way how to integrate it in ez as extension and the next steps for output.

More come soon ;-))
