[Quexf-discuss] [Fwd: Re: QueX__ integration with LimeSurvey]

[Carlos N. C. <car...@gm...>]

This a copy of the email I sent to Adam without the example files, 
because the list don't allow to attach ZIP files.

Dear Adam,

Thank you for your work. I've tested the new file, and it worked. That 
is, produces an xml file.

I've been testing the whole process with the two questionnaires I had 
used from the beginnig of this thread. But unfortunately I couldn't get 
it work. I found two different situations. If you're interested in 
continue fixing this problem, this is what happen.

---
1. File "CESGA_QueXML.xml" (new one, exported from LimeSurvey after your 
fixing)

QueXML Tools with default parameters produces a XSL:FO file 
("-tmp-loRmyS.xml" I renamed to "CESGA_XSL-FO.xml"). I was surprised 
this file is more lighter than that one I got before you fixed exporting 
php file (200K after when it was a few MB before). Website don't show 
errors on converting.

On MS Windows XEP Assistant validated this XSL:Fo file (just where it 
stopped before fixing). Then tried to convert it to PDF (I tested 
PostScript also, with the same results). The log file showed many errors 
bur produces an incomplete PDF questionnaire that included only first 
two pages (presentation and introduction). [Off topic: naturally 
everything it's in english ;-) If you need translations on this I offer 
myself to give you spanish, portuguese and galician ones]

Extracts from the XEP Assistant log file:

        [error] Failed to create image 
file://mnt/iss/quexml/deakin_logo.png of type null
        [error] java.io.FileNotFoundException: 
\\mnt\iss\quexml\deakin_logo.png (No se ha encontrado la ruta de acceso 
de la red)
        ...
        [error] Failed to create image 
file:/mnt/iss/quexml/information.svg of type null
        [error] java.io.FileNotFoundException: 
\mnt\iss\quexml\information.svg (El sistema no puede hallar la ruta 
especificada)

* Although I was working in MS Windows the supposed multi-platform jar 
version of RenderX tried to find many files through Linux paths]

       [error] com.renderx.xep.cmp.NoPageMasterException: state: last 
blank even

* Last message was "formatting successful", conversion ended but 
questionnaire is unuseful.

2. File "forGADocente_QueXML.xml" (new one, exported from LimeSurvey 
after your fixing)

QueXML Tools produces a XSL:FO file ("-tmp-SQ27yZ.xml" I renamed to 
"forGADocente_XSL-FO.xml"). This time file size is more or less the same 
as before the fixing (>9MB, it's a longer questionnaire). Website don't 
show errors on converting.

XEP Assistant validated again this XSL:FO file but crashed on 
converting. Following messages appeared at MS-DOS terminal (not at XEP 
Assistant, as before):

I don't know but I suspect this is a memory problem. If so it seems 
longer questionnaires exceed the scope of the "triple convertion" process.

I attach one ZIP archive with the examples I worked with, each one 
including the original QueXML file, the XSL:FO one, and finally the PDF 
(or not).

I don't know if the solution to these errors are on your hands. Maybe 
you found them (or similar ones) before at the university. Anyhow, 
thanks for your effort.
