Hi Stefan, This is a case in which the edited file is remote and the referenced HTML is also remote and we considered that there might be a change for the user to want to edit that HTML file. Is the HTML documentation on the same server from where you open the XML file. Do you connect to the Exist s...

Hi Sébastien,

This is not possible right now, we have an improvement request for it and maybe we'll manage to add this feature in a future version.
I will update this thread when this happens.

Hi, Oxygen has an editing mode called Author which allows you to edit an XML file in a visual manner if you have an associated CSS file: http://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-oxygen/index.html?q=/doc/ug-oxygen/topics/tagless-editor-introduction.html Basically besides the XML and XML Schema you would need ...

Hi Stefan, So you have local edited files which point with links to HTML pages, right? What version of Oxygen are you using? The standalone or Eclipse plugin version? And on what operating system? When clicking a link which points to binary resources like PDF, Oxygen should always use the web browse...

Hello Neal, The original bug posted by one of my colleagues on the Apple bugs list is this one: ID# 9848700 . I do not know if there is anything public though, only the owner seems to be allowed to see it. Most of our CMS clients have a switch in the HTML page which presents the classic applet if th...

Hi Neal, The behavior of the applet + JNLP on MAC OSX is exactly as you described. It was broken in one of the Java updates about one year ago and they never fixed it, there is a bug registered for this on the Apple issues list. Also the applet at http://www.oxygenxml.com/demo/AuthorDemoApplet/autho...

Hi Gary, Basically the topic in our user manual tries to explain a concrete customization situation, the case in which you want to add a company logo image in the front matter of the book. So in step (6) you start with an empty custom.xsl XSLT stylesheet and you copy to it an xslt template called cr...

Hi Neal,

Sure, just add another selector in the CSS like:

Hi Sebastien, I understand the difficulty. Unfortunately right now there is no API to easily create a DocumentPositionInfo over an AuthorNode (or for a certain offset in the Author document). We will try to add the API. A workaround for the Author page would be to add your own highlights using the A...

Hi, I do not quite understand. What exactly does the web service validation return? An XPath expression? How does it look like? If the XPath expression is valid we already have API like: ro.sync.ecss.extensions.api.AuthorDocumentController.findNodesByXPath(String, boolean, boolean, boolean) Otherwis...

Hi Sebastien, Assuming you are using a workspace access plugin, the code would be like: WSEditor currentEditorAccess = pluginWorkspaceAccess.getCurrentEditorAccess(StandalonePluginWorkspace.MAIN_EDITING_AREA); if(currentEditorAccess != null) { String currentPageID = currentEditorAccess.getCurrentPag...

Hi, Thanks for the interesting use case. In one of the future Oxygen versions we will provide a special "Review" panel showing all changes and it will also probably have certain filters like viewing all changes a certain author made or viewing changes between certain dates. We'll let you k...

Hi, There have been some discussions in the past on the DITA Users List about this: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/25321 Maybe you should also address RenderX XEP about this problem. But first you might want to try and re-save the image to JPG, maybe it is saved to another for...

Thanks Sander, We'll consider this.

Hi Sander,

I understand the problem.
The Preview area in the dialogs used to insert conrefs, xrefs uses only the "dita.css". If you make the changes directly there, they should be visible in the Preview area.

Radu

Hi,

You are right, Oxygen should not complain in this case. We'll try to correct the behavior in Oxygen 14.1 which will appear in September this year.

Hi, Those elements in which the tab inserts the spaces are probably elements which have been declared as space-preserve either in the XML or in the associated schema or in the CSS used to render the XML in the Author page. The idea when being in a space preserve element and pressing TAB would be tha...

Hi Roger,

Oxygen does not yet bring the content referenced via a keyref as static text in the Author page. But we have plans for this and we'll notify you when it gets implemented.
Clicking the keyref to navigate to the key definition in the DITA Map should work though.

Radu

Hi Simon, We do not have API to prohibit editing in the Author page certain attributes. But we have API which would allow you to filter completely from the Attributes view certain attributes: ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.page.author.WSAuthorEditorPageBase.addAuthorAttributesDisplayFilter(Author...

Hi Patrick, Oxygen could generate a second hidden file (sth. like filename.ext.lock) on open and delete it on closing a document. How about if you generate the extra file when Oxygen opens a document? Our plugins SDK allows you to create a "Workspace Access" plugin: http://www.oxygenxml.co...

Hi Patrick, We have API like: AuthorEditorAccess.setEditable(boolean editable) But Oxygen does not know if the file was already opened by other users. Do you have this information on your side? Also if you set a file as read-only on the network share (or on the local drive) Oxygen would show a small...

Hello Patrick, This is the usual behavior of swing applications. An AuthorOperation is executed on the Java AWT thread. As long as the AWT thread is busy (performing the operation's code) repaint is not done in the entire application as the repaint should also be made by the AWT thread. What you cou...

Hi Patrick, The "${frameworks}" approach worked for me. My implementation was something very basic like: public class XMLNodeCustomizerImpl extends XMLNodeRendererCustomizer { @Override public BasicRenderingInformation getRenderingInformation( NodeRendererCustomizerContext arg0) { BasicRen...

Hi Patrick, First of all, we fixed the problem with not expanding the ${framework} variable and a fix will be available in a couple of weeks in the next Oxygen 14.0 minor bug fix which is announced in this RSS feed: http://www.oxygenxml.com/rssBuildID.xml The "${frameworks}" approach does ...

Hi Patrick, Unfortunately the StylesFilter does not have access to the AuthorAccess interface. You have two options: 1) Use the java.lang.System.setProperty(String, String) method to set a system property on one side and then to read it on the other 2) In Oxygen 14.0 we introduced a static accessor ...

Hi Patrick,

Indeed using the ${framework} editor variable does not work (but we'll fix this), that's why I suggested you using the "${frameworks}/myframework/templates/icons/my_16.gif" approach.

Radu

Hi Patrick, You should look over the JavaDoc from the API method: ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.node.customizer.BasicRenderingInformation.setIconPath(String) Set the path of the icon used to render a node. The path can be an icon file path, the string representation of an icon URL or can contain editor...

Hi Patrick, So you created a custom action for image.display[on|off] and added it to the toolbar, right? The easiest way would probably be to set a System property (which can be read on the StylesFilter side) then call the API method: ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.editor.page.author.WSAuthorEditorPageB...

Hi Simon,

This is too soon for us to generate an official 14.0 bug fix release.
But I will try in a couple of days to generate an un-official Oxygen 14.0 Eclipse plugin kit for you with the fix in place.

Radu

Hi Simon, We also plan to release Oxygen 14.1 in the middle of September but in order for you not to depend on our usual release delays I will try to add fix also in the next Oxygen 14.0 minor bug fix releases which are usually announced here: http://www.oxygenxml.com/rssBuildID.xml By the way, Oxyg...
