Extension talk:DocBookExport

About this board

Hi,

I have installed DocBookExport on my local server, this isn't connected to the Internet.

When I try and Get DocBook, it goes onto the GetDocbook special page, but just hangs. If I click on check status I get a time out error.


In my LocalSettings.php I have set the config to:


$wgDocbookExportPandocServerPath='https://domain.tld/html_to_docbook';

$wgDocbookDownloadServerPath='/var/www/html/pdfs/';


But nothing shows.

I note in the configuration section of the extension page it includes:

$wgDocBookExportImportXSLRepoPathPDF
The path to a git repo for pulling the XSL files from.
$wgDocBookExportXSLRepository
The path of the XSL file to be used for DocBook generation.

With the $wgDocBookExportImportXSLRepoPathPDF am I right to presume this takes XSL files from a git repo on the Internet?

With $wgDocBookExportXSLRepositoryI presume this is the repository where XSLTProc is installed, which in my case is /usr/bin/xsltproc

Is this correct?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Gary

Problems with UTF-8 and graphics

Hi,

the Extension itself is working, but i have two Problems.

First of all, the rendering of characters like ä, ü, ö, ß is not working correctly. I get outputs like ä, ü, ö, ß.

And the second problem is about the integration of Images. These are rendered way to big and are not scaled correctly to match the page size, so most of the images are filling a whole page and continue outside of the page.

An empty PDF is generated no matter what page structure is provided

Hi Friends,

Thank you for providing this extension. However, I am having difficulties to make it work!

I installed the extension and the dependencies without problem. But, as a result, an empty PDF is generated no matter what page structure is provided.

I looked into the code: In the callback function parseDocBookSyntax( &$parser, $options ) linked to the magic word ID "docbook", a property docbook with all the parameters for generating pdfs is supposed to be saved in the page_props table, but nothing is actually saved in this table ("var_dumping" the result of the query to this table in DocBookExportAPI always returns false).

Thanks for your help. Clement

Hi Clement,

Did you try var_dumping before its saving to the page_props table?

Does this extension have a bug tracker? Cannot find it on Phabricator.

Yaron Koren (talkcontribs)

Not yet - it should. For now, I guess this is the best place to report bugs.

@Nischayn22: do you want a Phabricator project for this?

Nischayn22 (talkcontribs)

Its not bad to have that. Though I would be active here on the talk page as well.

This sounds interesting!

But the repo link doesn't work. :-(
