[ODP-dev] Read ODT file

[Erik S. <eri...@we...>]

Hello,

I want to read an ODT file, modify it and store it.

But using the code below I end up with an blank ODT document
(and yes, the file exists):

     $text = new OpenDocumentText($fullpath);
     // doing nothing here
     $text->close();

I also tried to hack the flag ZipArchive::CREATE inside the
file OpenDocumentText.php.

The ODT file is quite complex (an invoice). May
there be any elements in there that opendocumentphp
cannot process yet and therefore breaks?

Thanks!

Erik

[ODP-dev] OpenDocumentPHP 0.5.2 released

[Norman M. <no...@se...>]

Hi!

the OpenDocumentPHP team is proud to ship the newest code out of our 
repository as release 0.5.2. A lot of changes has been made to the code 
to make it faster and more reliable than ever.

The current code is based on the great “phase1.1” tree in our 
repository. If you want to stay close to the latest development, you can 
always use the “phase1.1” code tree right out of the repository.

Most of the former bugs where fixed and the source is much more 
documented than 0.5.1. But as every code under development, there could 
be new bugs. So please report any bug you find on the bug tracking 
system at sourceforge, send a message on the mailing list, or report it 
at least to one of our developers.

Take a look at our web site http://opendocumentphp.org 
<http://opendocumentphp.org/> for the lastest information about 
OpenDocumentPHP and for our open positions in the development team.

[ODP-dev] New Subversion structure and branch 0.6.0

[Norman M. <no...@se...>]

Hi folks,

I changed the structure of the Subversion repository. You will find now 
the development code in the php/trunk directory. So if you want to 
checkout the latest development code, please try:

    svn co 
https://opendocumentphp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/opendocumentphp/php/trunk 
opendocumentphp

There is also a new branch for the 0.6.0 development, Andreas please 
take a look at it, in which I made the first steps for a new Spreadsheet 
support.

You all might know PEAR_Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer, if not, please take a 
look at it. In the 0.6.0 branch I have started to copy as much of the 
API to our own API. You might take a look at 
OpenDocumentPHP/util/Spreadsheet in the src tree. Be aware, that I said, 
I have started. It is much more than not complete. But I hope I will 
find some of you helping me there.

As this is a part of the next 0.6.0 code base, I put this development 
not in the trunk but in the branches tree. So if you want to take a look 
at that part, please try:

    svn co 
https://opendocumentphp.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/opendocumentphp/php/branches/0.6.0 
opendocumentphp-0.6.0

Thanks to you all, especially to Roland Wintgen for the nice discussion 
about PEAR(_Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer) and Guido Klostermann for find 
some bugs in the documentation.

Yours,
Norman Markgraf

Re: [ODP-dev] Branch 0.6.0

[Norman M. <no...@se...>]

Hi folks,

the new branch 0.6.0 is now in a state that some else could take it 
over. It is far from being perfect, but this little code fragment will 
produce an spreadsheet document, that could be read at least by 
OpenOffice Calc:

<?php

require_once 'OpenDocumentPHP/util/Spreadsheet/Writer.php';

// Creating a workbook
$workbook = new Spreadsheet_OpenDocument_Writer('test.ods');

// Creating a worksheet
$worksheet = $workbook->addWorksheet('My first worksheet');

// The actual data
$worksheet->write(0, 0, 'Name');
$worksheet->write(0, 1, 'Age');
$worksheet->write(1, 0, 'John Smith');
$worksheet->write(1, 1, 30);
$worksheet->write(2, 0, 'Johann Schmidt');
$worksheet->write(2, 1, 31);
$worksheet->write(3, 0, 'Juan Herrera');
$worksheet->write(3, 1, 32);

// Let's write the file
$workbook->close();
?>


A lot of work is still to be done and I will help any volunteer who 
wants to take the branch 0.6.0 and make the part in 
OpenDocumentPHP/util/Spreadsheet/ ready for production.

Please contact me ASAP.

Yours,
Norman

[ODP-dev] Current design goals in the thrunk(aka branch 0.5) and branch 0.6.

[Norman M. <no...@se...>]

Hi folks,

as you all know, there are currently two development branches in our 
repository. And I feel, that I need to explain why.

The design goal of the 0.5 branch (a.k.a trunk) is to get rid of the 
ElementFragment and Fragment classes witch currently make the basic 
work, and use the new ODPElement class instead. ODPElement extends 
DOMElement, and has some new methods, which makes a lot of standard work 
easier. The namespaces, which where defined in ElementFragment and 
Fragment, where moved to the Namespace interface. This should make the 
classes a lot handier.

The purpose of the 0.6 branch is to start new Writer classes. So the 
work with ODP will get a lot easier. We start here with a 
re-implementation of PEAR_Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer classes. After that 
has settled, we should start with a Writer class for text document, may 
be in a 0.7 branch or in 0.6. - We should discuss that later...

The next upcoming release will be 0.5.3 (and maybe 0.5.4...) which 
should remove as much of the ElementFragment and Fragment classes as 
possible. After these changes are made, the 0.6 branch will 
resynchronize with 0.5.(3?) and become the new trunk.

If you got any questions about the design goals, the code or the 
strategy ... please ask.

Yours
Norman Markgraf
