Hello Team

The Base Guide 7.3 Revision 0 is now published and available for 
download.


https://documentation.libreoffice.org/en/english-documentation/
https://books.libreoffice.org/en/

The book is an update from the Base Guide 7.2, reviewed and enhanced 
by Steve Fanning, Robert Großkopf, Vasudev Narayanan and flywire.


The book was created using a master document and chapters were 
adjusted to fit the master document specifics. In particular, we 
wrapped the copyright section and the Table of Contents of each 
chapter is a section that is hidden when build in the master document. 
The PDF and the ODT file were exported directly from the master document.


The Base Guide team reviewed and updated the Guide in a continuous 
mode (time based) and the Revision 1 (7.3 final) is scheduled for end 
of July 2022. After that, the Base Guide team will continue the work 
under the title Base Guide 7.4.


The team and the volunteers are now invited to pick the published 
chapter and update, following the standard rules of revision 
(track-changes, file naming convention, etc...) and upload it in the 
folder /Published-Rev1/) for later publication. By end of July, I'll 
pick the updates and rebuild the book.


The control sŕeadsheet is now Guide Status BG73-Rev1.ods

Kind regards

[Steve Fanning]

Hi Olivier,

Thank you for publishing this version of the document.

I am interested in reviewing / updating Chapter 3 (Tables) and have put 
my initials against it in the tracking spreadsheet. This chapter makes 
use of the Media_without_Macros.odb database and, in case it needs some 
updates for better figures or any other reason, I have added that item 
to the spreadsheet and placed my initials against it.


I'm not sure how long my work on these two items will take and have 
reflected that in the spreadsheet too.


Regards,

Steve

Hi Steve,


Just to clarify, I think that you are referring to Chapter 4 Forms. 
Between Figures 16 and 17 (page 23 in the chapter file), there is a 
list item entitled "Events tab". At the end of that item is the text 
"List box", which should be a heading on a new line, with the Heading 
3 style.


Exactly. I have seen this while there was a post for Listboxes in 
ask.libreoffice and couldn't find this header, special in online version 
of Base Guide 7.2.
See https://books.libreoffice.org/en/BG72/BG7204-Forms.html on the left

Hi All,

Thanks for that Robert.

item entitled "Events tab". At the end of that item is the text "List

Olivier, this problem still exists in the file in the Published folder. 
Would it be possible to correct it before final publication?

Hope it will be corrected in Base Guide 7.3

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide BG7309 - Macros

[flywire]

Tweaking the template can resolve almost all code colorization presentation
issues as explained below. (Process issues can be worked on separately.)

Key findings:
* Process is a bit of a black art
* LibreOffice_7.x_Template.ott has no Character Styles for colored computer
code
* Code Colorizer Formatter
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/71 is used but an
extension bug ignores the configuration dialog Font name, Text sizes and
Tab width
* Fortunately, the extension does not define styles defined in a document
* The Getting Started Guide 7.3 code looks good but Character Styles for
colored code seem to have been manually reformatted
* Adhoc processes will continue to occur in the absence of a standard
process as demonstrated in the Getting Started Guide 7.3 which essentially
duplicates character style trees with _LOCodeBase and OOoComputerCode

Suggested template workaround changes for existing extension:
* Use Paragraph Style Code Font Size of 10pt (extension mixes sizes and end
of line comment bug affects following line)
* Use Paragraph Style Code Spacing Do not add spacing to paragraphs of the
same style (reduces BG7309 page count by 15% and looks better)
* Use Character Style OOoComputerCode parent of Code (to carry style
through as intended)
* Character Style Code descendants must only configure color

Furthermore, define the following Character Styles in the Documentation
template instead of the extension:
OOoComputerCode
_OOoComputerBase
_OOoComputerComment  Grey
_OOoComputerBaseNoLocale
_OOoComputerSpecial
_OOoComputerLiteral  Red
_OOoComputerNumber   Red
_OOoComputerKeyWord  Blue
_OOoComputerAltKeyWord   Blue
_OOoComputerIdentGreen

The LibreOffice color palette should be used, for example, assuming no
color shades: (Grey), Orange Accent, Blue 1, Green 1. Other styles might be
needed for Bash, SQL, Java, and XML.

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide 7.3

[Olivier Hallot]

Hello Team

I have reviewed and published BG7302-CreatingADatabase (actually it was 
named BG7402 in WIP folder, fixed)


I also reviewed and published BG7303 Tables, BG7306 Reports and BG7307 
Linking to Databases.


I am revising BG7308 Database tasks, after Dev review and remarks.  As 
side note, Dev's remarks made me fix a dialog and Help page in source 
code related to Direct SQL statements. Thanks Dev!


So we are left with BG7308 (me) and BG7305 (Pulkit) to finish the Base 
Guide 7.3.


Kind regards

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide - New Chapter 2

[Steve Fanning]

Hi flywire,

Thanks for the comments, which I have reviewed and actioned as appropriate.

I have rejected:

•    Some comments that seem to be simply changing the order of words in 
sentences that already seem reasonably well structured and clear.


•    Comments that propose adding more detail about the process of 
downloading and installing an ODBC driver, and then creating an ODBC 
data source name (DSN). I have deliberately assumed that this has little 
to do with Base and is, or should be, described in the documentation for 
the relevant ODBC driver. If these actions are not described adequately 
in a particular example of a driver’s documentation, then it might be 
better to propose improvements there rather than trying to rectify the 
problem in the Base Guide.


I have updated the date in the file name and returned the chapter to the 
NextCloud WIP folder, moving previous versions to the Archived folder.


Having spent a fair amount of time already on this chapter, I will leave 
others to process any further comments raised by any reviewers.


Regards,

Steve

This is the first opportunity for feedback on the chapter -
BG7402-CreatingADatabase_SF_FW_04May2022.odt in WIP folder.

The revised chapter is well written and much easier to read with a lot of
good information. It's good to see it links the Getting Started Guide and
includes the SQLite database.

I'm most familiar with SQLite after working through it in detail to create
this section for the current guide so I've focused on it as an example.
Issues are noted in the comments and indicative text is given with tracked
changes. The intention is for discussion.

My overall view is the guide is too confusing for creating a simple SQLite
database. The SQLite process is fairly simple but it is confused by being
guided through a complicated install with links to many other places with
exceptions to follow. I'm very familiar with the process but I couldn't
keep track of the SQLite process using a pdf on a PC. Options should really
be tested with a few typical users, especially the likes of SQLite which is
well down the list.

I suggest a summary after each heading where other parts of the guide are
referred to for the details. This would likely be enough for many users
leaving the references for additional guidance as required. The alternative
would be to start with creating the simplest database and work through to
the more complex.

The connecting with ODBC Initial preparation has two clearly separate parts
which, to make it easier to navigate, need to be split under headings for
Install ODBC Driver and Configure database ODBC connection. ODBC driver
installation is generally well done but configuring database ODBC
connection refers to installation instructions that don't exist and vary by
OS.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide - New Chapter 2

[Steve Fanning]

Hi All,

I have placed a proposed new version of Chapter 2 in the WIP folder, 
moving all previous versions of the chapter to the Archived folder. I 
hope it is an improvement.


The chapter has essentially been re-written and so I recommend that it 
be given a thorough review before issue. Because of the level of change 
throughout the chapter since the previous draft, changes are not tracked 
in the document.


I wasn't sure how to handle the reviews that have already been done on 
the previous version of the chapter within the tracking spreadsheet and 
so I did nothing. Perhaps Olivier could handle that as he sees fit.


Many thanks to Robert Großkopf for his assistance and advice during my 
work on this chapter.


Regards,

Steve

Where in NextCloud would you prefer me to place the updated file for 
its review? If I place it in the Base Guide > 7.3 folder then there 
might be an expectation that we will include this new file in the 
first iteration of the 7.3 BG. A proper review of the chapter (which 
has essentially been re-written) could take some time. Shall I put it 
in a new folder structure called something like Base Guide > 7.3 R2?

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide 7.3: Deadline set May 31st and Chapter BG7310

[Olivier Hallot]

Hi team

I'm setting May 31st as the deadline to publish the Base Guide 7.3, with 
the available revisions at the date.


The file BG7310-DatabaseMaintenance_SF_VN_OH03May2022.odt had all SF and 
VN suggestions reviewed and committed. Then I set track changes enabled 
and added a couple of comments where I found the text unclear.


I also added BG7310-DatabaseMaintenance.odt to the Published-Rev0/ 
folder with my changes self-approved. If my comments in the WIP folder 
are addressed before may 31st, I'll replace the file in the 
/published-rev0/ folder.


Kind regards

HI Team

I have accepted all suggestions from flywire and udpated the

- Code lines are now with "code" style (no need to overcomplicate things)
- Extra LiBo* paragraph styles removed.
- Fixes here and there.

Hello Pulkit

Welcome back !

Hello Everybody,
For those of you who do not know me, I am Pulkit Krishna, the previous Base
Guide coordinator. I was unable to contribute anything for some time due to
some personal problems, but now I am back.

I had suggested a rewrite of Base Guide a few days before disappearing but
it seems the idea was abandoned due to lack of contributors. Reading the
mailing archive, I see that Steve took the role of coordinator (Thanks) and
proposed another plan, the one of step by step updating the guide. I think
that is a very good plan.


Steve is working on the chapter 2 of the Base Guide and I took the lead 
of the book. However I admit I have been flooded by other demands and I 
am late. Some of the chapters are published and I set a Master document 
to assemble the book continuously.


A lot has changed in the Documentation team since my last contributions and
I am confused by some changes and how they work. I will try to read the
mailing list archive and see what I can do. A new folder structure seems to
be used in Nextcloud and the tracking spreadsheet has also changed. The
template used for chapters was changing by the time I left and it has
changed completely. One thing that has not changed much is Base
itself 😂😂. I will try to understand everything but I would be thankful if
someone would guide me if I do something wrong.


I don't think we did so many changes, the edit-revision process is still 
the same however we want to test if we publish our guides (Base being 
the first) in a continuous manner, "as is" and update it  indicating 
"revisions" in a periodic basis.


Like "Base Guide 7.3 Rev 1"
"Base Guide 7.3 Rev 2"
...



For now, I have taken BG7305-Queries for second review and the expected
return date is 26 April.


Thanks for that.


Side Note: I am getting a notice on Nextcloud - Group folder "LibreOffice
Documentation" is almost full (93%). I think this should go to infra but I
just added it here if somebody knows anything about it.


I also noticed that. It may require a housekeeping job by ourselves or 
it may also be a setting in Nextcloud installation. I'll jump in.


Pulkit Krishna

[Olivier Hallot]

Hi all

I have reviewed the Base Guide Macro chapter BG7309, with the following 
additions


- Accepted all suggestions by Steve Fanning
- cleanup of anchors, frames, styles, Basic and Python code using Andrew 
Pitonyak source code coloring extension.
- Added section on ScriptForge by flywire (fixed typos and code 
formatting. A second review is advisable as some commented lines were 
left in the code)


The file is in WIP folder for further review with track changes enabled.

BG7309-Macros_SF_24Jan2022_OH_15Mar2022.odt

I also added a version in the Published folder and hooked to the master 
document. A temporary PDF was also updated.

I have considered all comments and produced an updated version of the

however that the images for Figures 19, 53, 57, 81, 85 have been

It would be very helpful if Dev, Robert, and Flywire could check this

suggest that we discuss any residual issues in this email list rather 
than editing the document further? I can then update it again if

My current thoughts are that this chapter has now had a good review by 
multiple people, and it probably isn’t worth a formal 2nd review 
cycle. Does anybody disagree?

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base v7.3: Chapter 1 - BG7301

[Steve Fanning]

Thanks for the comments.

I have (hopefully) clarified the text for your first suggestion.

I haven't made a change for this second point. The three database 
systems currently in the brief list on this page are those for which we 
have a direct connection route (as described in Chapter 2). As I 
understand it Base does not offer a direct connection to SQLite but 
connections are via ODBC - this is covered by the paragraph after the 
bullet points mentioned.

Steve

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base v7.3: Chapter 1 - BG7301

[Jean Weber]

Steve,
A few comments, related to macOS.

1) Table on Copyright page for macOS equivalents needs updating with a
row for Alt:
Alt ⌥ (Option)  Used with other keys

Also, the width of the columns in that table could be improved.

2) On pages 6-7, info on Java needs a few words about macOS. Here is
what I wrote for Getting Started 7.3, based on current info (older
editions of GS had an out-of-date link):

For macOS, you need to install Oracle’s Java Development Kit (JDK),
not just the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Download links can be
found at: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk17-mac

document, which can be found in NextCloud. Changes to address all agreed 
comments have been made with track changes on. Please note however that 
the images for Figures 19, 53, 57, 81, 85 have been replaced but these 
modifications don’t appear to be recognized as tracked changes.


It would be very helpful if Dev, Robert, and Flywire could check this 
updated version to see if they are happy with the changes. Can I suggest 
that we discuss any residual issues in this email list rather than 
editing the document further? I can then update it again if required.


My current thoughts are that this chapter has now had a good review by 
multiple people, and it probably isn’t worth a formal 2nd review cycle. 
Does anybody disagree?


Regards,

Steve

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide - sample databases provided with the book

[Steve Fanning]

Hi Robert,

I don't believe that there is a problem.

We are just making sure that the two databases that we've updated (for 
the new Chapter 1 screenshots etc) are properly controlled.


I will liaise with him and let you know if any assistance is needed.

Steve

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base v7.3: Chapter 1 - BG7301

[Steve Fanning]

Hello everyone,

While updating Chapter 1, I created bespoke versions of the 
Media_without_Macros and Example_Sport databases to support the 
generation of new, "anglicized" images.


The ODB files for these two updated databases are in an obviously-named 
subfolder of the Work in Progress folder.

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide - sample databases provided with the book

[Steve Fanning]

Hello everybody,

Dev has very kindly volunteered to look at the sample databases that are 
publicly availably and used throughout the Base Guide (BG).


While reviewing Chapter 1 of the BG I noticed a few problems with  the 
"Media_without_Macros.odb" database as follows. Dev, would you be able 
to correct these issues in your “master” version?


1. The name of the Adress table is spelt incorrectly (should be Address).
2. The relationships (at Tools > Relationships) don’t appear to be
   complete. For example, the Recall table should have a link to the
   Loan table; the Gender, rel_Reader_Schoolclass, and Gender tables
   should be linked to the Reader table.
3. On the Loan form, should “current Loan” have an uppercase “C”?
4. On the Loan form, when a reader has overdue media, then the string
   “Loan temporary locked!” is appended to the blue string in the
   middle of the form. Should this read “Loan temporarily locked!”?
5. The Recall report would probably benefit from some wording changes
   to improve its use of English (I can provide more detailed comments
   if needed).
6. The content of the data in the tables should be anglicized where
   appropriate.

Regards,

Steve

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide 72 master document

[Olivier Hallot]

Hi Team

Seasons Greetings!

Since the fix on master documents by Michel Stahl from Allotropia [1], I 
managed to create a master document for the latest Base Guide, as an 
exercise, for my own.


The set of chapters are in the cloud at
/LibreOffice Documentation/English/Base 
Guide/7.2/Archived/BG72_Master_Doc.zip


I had to tweak a bit some missing parts from the original template for a 
master document. Actually a few.


- Cover and Back cover are new page styles with the covers as background 
PNG, respectively;


- Copyright and chapters TOC were wrapped in a section with hidden 
control activated by the master variable 'book eq 1'. Chapters don't 
have this variable, so Copyright and chapter TOC are visible, but hidden 
in Master document.
Trick: you cannot wrap an existing TOC in a outer section. You need to 
remove it, create the section and then add the TOC inside the section.


- Left some comments for next release, just remove them to get the full 
book as a PDF export directly from the MD.


I think that assembling a Guide with a master document is now a piece of 
cake.


Kind regards

Hello All,

I have compiled the 7.2 Base Guide into one ODT file, and generated the

All is ready for final checking before publication and hopefully Jean 
will still have time available to look at this.

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide Chapter 10 - back from review into feedback folder w/1 edit

[Drew Jensen]

Howdy,

Finished reading over Chapter 10 this afternoon. I did make one edit
to the file and that was to pretty much replace the next to last
paragraph talking about performance problems with HSQLdb and referring
to issues from version 3.5, then that those issues were fixed in 4.1
and it just seems like that should all go away for a version 6.4
release.

What I added was a general comment about performance issues and when
to look at moving from the embedded database to a server based system.

BG6410-DatabaseMaintenance_PK_JS_PK_DJ_24June2020.odt is in the feedback folder.

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide Chapter 7

[Drew Jensen]

Howdy,

Uploaded the file BG6407-Linking_in_Databases_PK_DJ_21June2020.odt to
the feedback folder with two minor issues. One fixed a typo (tracked
change added) and the other about the screenshot of the data source
toolbar. One of the toolbar buttons text changed - it is explained in
a comment.

One issue however - the last part of the chapter required use of a
third party tool pdftk to extract form data from a PDF file. The pdftk
software offers binaries for Windows and RedHat/CentOS Linux only. I
tried first to install it on my Ubuntu 18.04 machine using the alien
tool to change package format from .rpm to .deb, and this did allow a
successful install but unsuccessful execution complaining about a
missing required file - I then tried to compile it from the source and
ran into a missing dependency (it appears that matches the runtime
error), as of right now I don't have a solution for that - so I'll put
that file up today as my review, with this caveat that I couldn't
actually check if that macro works with pdftk.

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide 6.4 & EPUB of v6.2

[Pulkit Krishna]

Hello Everybody,
I have uploaded the first drafts of all the remaining chapters
(7,8,10,11&12) of Base Guide 6.4 to the Drafts folder. For last few days I
did not had good Internet connection, so I was unable to upload them. I
have moved chapter 0,1 & 9 to Published folder. I have accepted all changes
made by Dan to chapter 2 and moved the file back to Drafts folder.

Jean: Can you see to the formatting of chapter 2?

As for the EPUB file of Base Guide 6.2, I have moved it to the published
folder and have uploaded it to the wiki. Maybe it should also be linked in
the main Documentation website(I am not sure if EPUB versions are linked
there).

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide 6.4 - Reviewer Needed

[Pulkit Krishna]

Hello Everybody,
The base Guide 6.4 is progressing well. I have updated chapter 0-6 ad chapter 
9. I am working on chapter 7. Dan has done the review of chapter 0 & 1. He is 
currently working on the epub version of base guide 6.2. It would be best if 
someone will review the rest chapters. The sooner we complete the 6.4 version, 
we will get more time for v7.0.

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide 6.4

[Pulkit Krishna]

Hello Everybody,
The first few chapters of Base Guide 6.4 is ready for review. Only 1 review
is needed for them as they have not changed much. Anybody, please take them
for review.

I said in one of my las emails that I will send a separate email
regarding my plans about 7.0 book but now I have decided that I will write
an odt document on it and upload it to nextcloud in base folder.

[libreoffice-documentation] Base 6.2 Guide full book needs checking

[Jean Weber]

I've uploaded the compiled Base 6.2 Guide to the Published folder and
replaced most of the chapters in that folder with amended ones
(correcting minor things I found while compiling, like numbered lists
that didn't restart).

Please check the PDF to see if it's complete and has no glaring
errors. I had a quick look but I may have missed something. Also, the
NextCloud was throwing up error messages, so it's possible the
uploaded file might have errors.

I will not be producing a printed copy of this book any time soon,
because Lulu (where the other books have been done) has just
completely revised their website and publishing process and a lot of
things no longer work. They say they're working on fixing it.

[libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide ch 7 report and more

[Dan Lewis]

   I have gone as far as I can go with mail merge. The only problem 
that I can not solve is with Step 4 of the mail merge wizard, Create a 
salutation. As long as I uncheck the box for a personal salutation, it 
works fine. Otherwise I get an two lines when there should only be one:


Dear Mr. x,
Dear Mrs. x,

Hidden paragraphs do not work either. This is for LibreOffice 6.2, 6.3, 
and 6.4 (6.4.3.2). There is a bug #118861 that involves this problem. I 
wonder if using the Debian version has anything to do with this.


So, I have uploaded the file into the feedback folder with a comment in 
that section. The Guide Status file has been updated. Someone else needs 
to look through all of the recorded changes I have made to this file.


   I have also downloaded chapter 8, Getting Started with Base. I 
should finish this by Tuesday evening (2000UTC). I did not find any 
place in the Status spreadsheet to place this information.


Dan

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Base Guide 6.2 Chapter 01 IntroductiontoBase: missing table in sample Database

I found it (I think): table "Preferences" is the "Settings" table

This has to be corrected in the Guide.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] BASE GUIDE CORDINATOR

[Pulkit Krishna]

Hello Oliver,
Thank you for your message. Currently, the base guide has been translated
from its german version. I have translated all the chapters. I think now
that we will have a base guide 6.2, we english contributors can update it
for version 6.4 and further versions by ourselves. We do not need to
translate from german anymore. We can take content from german
handbauch time to time as Robert is much better than me in base but I do no
think that we should be completely dependent on only the german version of
base guide for translating into English. 4 chapters are left to be
reviewed for version 6.2. After that it would be ready to be published. Out
of those two, Dan and Drew have taken 2 for their review. Randolph, a new
volunteer, has agreed to review the left two. So I think that base guide
6.2 is going to be published soon. After that we can update it to version
6.4. There is not much to do as base has not changed much but I have
decided to add some more information to it and update all the screenshots
(the screenshots are a bit old) with the help of Rob.

Hello Everybody,
Can anyone take Appendix A and B for their respective second reviews? I
don't think they need much editing now. But a second review is necessary.

I have time to fix the styles and formatting in chapter 9, Macros, but I
don’t know enough about macros to review the content.

Drew wanted to add content to the chapter about Access2Base. I have
written only a few rows about this possibility to create macros, 
because
I don't know anything about macros in Windows and macros in Access 
and

don't need to use this feature.
