[dev] filters as extensions
Hello, When trying to package a filter as an extension I run into various problems. I tried to imitate the template given here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Filter_extensions but eventually had errors that even prevented OOo from starting at all. The trouble is, if I try to install the extension provided as an example on this same page: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/w/images/6/66/Mwikidemo.oxt with zero alterations, the extension installs properly but the filter is not accessible...? Neither in the filter list from the tools menu, nor in the filter list from file/export. (I tried several times on fresh oo installs). Are there other examples that work? I'm using version 3.0.1.

RE: [dev] filters as extensions -- still no luck -- looking for one working example
Hello again, I believe I have just checked all extentions from the extensions repository here: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/ and could not find one case of a simple XSLT filter packaged as an extension. Is there such an example anywhere or can anyone provide one? (The example mentionned below does not in fact install a filter; this is not immediately obvious because it has the same name as a default filter (MediaWiki) but when one removes the original filter, or even does a fresh install with no filters, and then tries to install this extention, this does not create a MediaWiki filter (or any other one for that matter)).

Hi Emmanuel, The new version of Sun Wiki Publisher extension in mav46 childworkspace does it. Actually the MediaWiki filter will no more be installed as a part of OOo installation starting from OOo3.2, the extension will install it. So you could try to checkout swext module from this cws and investigate it. By the way, if two extensions install the same filter, the result is unpredictable if I remember correctly. Best regards, Mikhail.
