Re: Confluence 4 export: the one feature that would justify my upgrading from FM10

2012-11-22 Thread Roger Shuttleworth
There was a Confluence plugin that would import a ditamap into Confluence 3.5. I believe it was called Dita2Confluence and was developed by Lisa Dyer. It worked pretty well once you got the environment variables sorted out. But it was only one-way, so you couldn't use it to update your XML

Confluence 4's Import from Disk feature uses the undocumented XML format created by the Export to XML feature. I experimented with using Webworks ePublisher Designer to convert from FrameMaker to Confluence 4. It looks fine, but when you edit a page the code is an uneditable mess of macros and

Hello All FrameMaker 11, DITA, with DITA-FMx installed. I wonder if anyone else has seen this anomaly which has bitten us a few times. If you replace an image using File Import File option, FrameMaker does not replace the image location in the XML. The scenario goes like this: 1. Create

The manual page-by-page import I've done is too complicated to automate. You'd want to use one of the APIs or the plugin SDK for bulk import. On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 9:54 AM, Jeremy H. Griffith jer...@omsys.com wrote: On Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:59:01 -0500, Jim Owens jow...@magma.ca wrote: - If

Hi Roger... Since you've got DITA-FMx installed, the bug (if there is one) is for Leximation not Adobe. Send me a sample file to test. Cheers, ...scott Sent from my phone. Please excuse any typos or unexpected brevity. On Nov 21, 2012, at 8:34 AM, Roger Shuttleworth shutti...@gmail.com

Hi Roger I have just tested this. Indeed, when you import a new image into an existing anchored frame, the href attribute is not updated to the new image path and name, in your example image2.png. However, I don't think this is a bug because you are using a FrameMaker feature (File Import File

While I appreciate Yves' rationalization about why this isn't a bug .. it sure sounds like one to me. :-) I'll bet that this works fine in FM8 but with the UI change in FM9 the dialog never gets dismissed any more and that may have been what keyed FMx to update the href (and height/width).
