OASIS extension and default import class

Monday 04 December 2006 11:51:40 pm

The OASIS (ezodf) have a setting to specify the default class for import in odf.ini

[ODFImport]
# Default class for import
DefaultImportClass=article

I want to use the OASIS import for different type of objects, articles, products, ....
How could I have:
- The possibility for the user to choose the type of object he want his Open Office document to be
- The ability of eZ publish to override this settings according to the node / subtree of the import?

Thanks

Hello all,

I have been looking at something similar to what is mentioned in this post.

After looking at modules/ezdf/ezooimport.php file it seems that the odf -> eZ class matching is done by trying to match the document's seaction names to attribute names in the available declared classes.

Therefore, if I understand correctly, <i>classes need to have a unique attribute/identifier combinations</i>, to avoid being mistakenly mapped to another class.

I guess it would be useful to have a different way of identifying classes, like prepending the class to the filename (eg. article_nameofarticle.odf and publication_nameofpublication.ofg) even if both classes contain the same attributes and have the same identifiers.

Another need for better matching would be to have pre-filled content objects which contain datatypes not currently supported by the extension.

Could anyone confirm this?

Regards,

Felipe
