I have Andrew's book (though I might have to download it again. I believe he recently uploaded an updated version). I'm not sure he handled extension packaging ... (hmm, let me research that. Okay, yeah ... no useful hits on that here. So its not in the book). >> Hopefully someone else on this list might be able to give specific help this >> time but some of those guides might help you get a deeper understanding of >> it >> all if that's what you are looking for. >> Good luck and regards from >> Tom :) Thanks Tom, I've been reading the OOo extensions webpages for deeper understanding (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Extensions). I can't say I fully comprehend the entire plot. The study continues. It might be useful to peek into an extension package having python macros/code. That way, I can compare that with mine as see what I'm missing. Okay, okay ... found something. (http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/UNO_component_packaging) Hmm, I need some explanations. Can someone explain what the addImplementation method in the ImplementationHelper class is doing? I need to understand what parameters types are expected. Yeah, I have that in mine too but I just need to know why I'm using it. This is what is throwing the Extension Manager errors: doc = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument() Says 'XSCRIPTCONTEXT' is not defined**. I read somewhere that the python loader for python extensions cannot load libraries that are not in its path and that any referenced lib should be included in python libs folder. Is this it ... am I looking at that scenario? Any ideas on how to go about fixing this situation? (which python lib folder???) **Note: Same script works fine when placed in the folder: user/.libreoffice/3/user/Scripts/python regards Onyeibo -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
