[oXygen-user] Converting DITA-OT plugin from 1.5.4 to 1.6

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the clarification. I'm still a bit confused though. I think it may be my terminology.

In Oxygen 13.x I had a 1.5.4 PDF customization I specified in the customization.dir parameter.

In Oxygen 14.1 they've switched to OT 1.6.1 which abandons the demo directory and I thought customizations were now called plugins.

Ultimately, I'm just trying to get my styles working for PDF in Oxygen 14.1/OT 1.6.1.

Am I following the right process?

Thanks for shedding light on this. I think I'm closer to understanding.

Matt

Hi Matthew,
New transformation types are not visible in my version of oXygen, 13.2.

Radu is describing a case where your plugin modifies default processing.
I have plugins that create new trans types with new functionality, but don't change the default transformations.
I think that is what you are describing.

You need to create a new transform based on whatever transform is closest: probably XHTML or PDF, then add a new parameter in the new transformation. The new parameter is "transtype", the value is the name of your new transformation type.

Assuming you are modifying XHTML, you would do the following:
- click on "DITA Map XHTML"
- click on "Duplicate" button
- The dialog for editing a transformation will appear
- In the top of the dialog box, the "Name" field will say "DITA Map XHTML duplicate" - edit this name as you desire
- The "parameters" tab will be open if you started with "XHTML", if you started with "PDF", click on "Parameters" tab
- There is no "transtype" parameter - click "New"
- Fill in the "Name" field with "transtype"
- The value must be the name of your transtype as defined in your plugin
- you can add a description if you like. I added " The transtype specifies what processinig is applied, at the highest level." (apparently I misspelled processing)
- Hit OK. This exist the "Edit Parameter" dialog
- Hit OK to exit the "Edit DITA Scenario" dialog
- You are back to the "Configure Transformation Scenario" dialog. Click either "Save and Close" or "Transform Now". Any other action in this dialog will lose your edits and your new scenario.

Good luck!
Rob

Thanks Radu,

I realized my error with the plugin directory shortly after posting.

I adjusted the paths and ran the default DITA OT integrator option. 
Afterwards, I should be able to select new scenario -> DITA-OT transformation And then I should see my new transformation type?

If I don't see it, how can I troubleshoot? Would the integrator report errors if there was some problem?

I do have full write permissions to the directory where I installed it.

Thanks!
Matt

Hi Matt,

Oxygen comes with a bundled DITA OT installation located in:

> OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT

There is indeed a plugins folder in Oxygen:

>  OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\plugins

but this folder is for Java-based plugins which provide additional functionality to an Oxygen installation using our Plugins SDK, so this is unrelated to the DITA OT transformations.

The DITA OT has also support for plugins, this folder is located in:

> OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins

So this is the place where you should copy your plugin folder.
Then you should run the transformation scenario "Run DITA OT Integrator" 
directly without modifying it.
The transformation scenario will call the DITA OT integrator which will look inside the "plugins" folder and modify stylesheets and build files from the DITA OT to connect the extensions from each found plugin.
In order for this to work the folder where Oxygen is installed needs to have full read-write rights, not a problem in your case as you have not installed in the Windows Program Files folder.

Regards,
Radu
