Publication with customize and without customize [oXy 14.2]

[Le Basque]

Hi,
I used two scenarios for publication :
DITAMAP PDF With Antenna House
DITAMAP PDF With Fop

In first scenario (DITAMAP PDF With Antenna House) i use Customization (Parameter 'customization.dir')
In second scenario (DITAMAP PDF With Fop) i don't use Customization (Parameter 'customization.dir' is empty)

When i select the second scenario i obtains the same result as the first, so that the customization is not present ?

where does the problem ?

Thank you

Hi,

It seems that your customizations are not applied for some reason.
I do not have enough details based on your description to point to an exact cause. Maybe if you have an XSLT customization you could check if you overwrote the proper XSLT template, possibly add some xsl:messages to see if your custom XSLT template is getting called.
Did your customization folder work in a previous version of Oxygen?
Did you read our topic discussing PDF customizations?

Hi,

I worked in the directory Customization, I did not crash the basic model
I indicated in the catalog where are the customized elements
When i used oXygen / Alfresco / Componize i can choice FOP or Antenna House with customization or not customization, and result is OK

I don't understand

Best regards

Hi,

Maybe it depends on the version of DITA Open Toolkit which you use.
When you used the customization with Componize, did you publish the DITA content from the CMS side or from Oxygen?
It's possible that a customization directory works with one DITA OT version and does not work with another.
Oxygen 14.2 comes with DITA OT 1.6.1.
Maybe you could send us the zipped customization directory with additional details about how it should affect the PDF output (support@oxygenxml.com) and I'll try to have a look at it when I have the time.

Hi,

My problem is setting the scenario (in oXygen), if I use the customization the result is correct, if I do not use the customization, the result contains the changes made to the customization?

I will sending screenshots by email

Thank you

Hi,

You mentioned:

That "customization.dir" parameter should point to a folder which is outside of the DITA OT installation. In your case it points to this folder:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\Customization

Not specifying the "customization.dir" parameter at all or specifying it with the value "OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\Customization" is equivalent because the default customization folder is located in:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\Customization

Did you make your changes directly there?
If you look at this small tutorial:

http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-editor/ ... ation.html

It states:

Copy the entire directory: OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/plugins/org.dita.pdf2/Customization to some other place, for instance: C:\Customization.

Because if you make changes to the "Customization" folder inside the DITA OT PDF plugin, they will be applied by default to all PDF outputs.
