No idee,
I think my problems might relate to the advice you gave me last week
regarding "repeating part of document". I decided for a simple string
insert instead of using dispatcher, since I thought I might get that
working first (formatting of copied sections were lost, but I could live
with that).
Now my problem is that each repeated part might contain one of these
###IMG_SOMETHING###-markers. So after first repeating the necessary
parts (while modifying it slightly) I'm now trying to go over the
document again an replacing the markers with images. And
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=31682 leads me to
believe that I cannot just copy the way I did, and then afterwards
expect the document to be ok. I also tried saving it after the unfolding
of repeats, and rereading if before replacing images, but that didn't
seem to change anything.
So my office document can contain something like this:
###GROUP_LOOP_BEGIN###
Name of group: ###GROUP_NAME###
###IMG_GROUP?###
###GROUP_LOOP_END###
Provided I have two groups named GrA and GrB, this should end up as to:
Name of group: GrA
< inserted image IMG_GROUPGrA.png >
Name of group: GrB
< inserted image IMG_GROUPGrB.png >
Here's how I repeat the parts (ugly prototype code):
groupLoopBegin.setSearchString('###GROUP_LOOP_BEGIN###')
groupLoopEnd.setSearchString('###GROUP_LOOP_END###')
begin = doc.findFirst(groupLoopBegin)
groupNb = re.compile('(###IMG.*)GROUP[?](.*###)')
while begin:
end = doc.findNext(begin.End,groupLoopEnd)
if end:
rangeCursor.gotoRange(begin,False)
rangeCursor.gotoRange(end,True)
loop = rangeCursor.String
loop = loop.replace('###GROUP_LOOP_BEGIN###','')
loop = loop.replace('###GROUP_LOOP_END###','')
for j in range(len(groupNames)):
i = len(groupNames)-j-1
thisLoop = groupNb.sub(r"\g<1>"+'GROUP'+str(i+1)+"\g<2>",loop)
thisLoop = thisLoop.replace('###GROUP_NAME###',groupNames[i])
if j == 0:
text.insertString(rangeCursor, thisLoop, True)
else:
text.insertString(rangeCursor, thisLoop, False)
begin = doc.findNext(end.End,groupLoopBegin)
After running this my example document part looks like this (works):
Name of group: GrA
###IMG_GROUPGrA###
Name of group: GrB
###IMG_GROUPGrB###
So this is when replacing these ###IMG...-markes that the image is only
inserted one time, and actually even at a wrong place, namely before the
first "Name of group...".
I'm wondering:
1) Could this text.insertString be the reason my images are not inserted
correctly?
2) I can't figure out how to do the copyint with dispatcher. Which would
be the steps required for a) copying a cursor range to a dispatcher,
modifying this content and inserting it a number of times instead of the
cursor?
3) Since the save to odt + reload didn't work is there any other trick I
could try to getting the document in a state where a regular image
insert could work?
Obviously I'm confused about quite a few things working with this, hope
my explanations make sense to some extend :-)
but why not using Document.GraphicObjects.getElementNames()
and working directly with the images
Because the images are not in the document, but I have some text markers
that should be replaced on images from disc. Or am I misunderstanding you?
