[libreoffice-documentation] Errors on chapter 2 of database guide
Hello. I have been reading the /Base guide/, and in chapter 2, I have been able to see, what, under my point of view, are several errors, all of them related to the external connection to a Firebird database. The first of them, although certainly not really an error, but an outdated one, can be found on page 73 of the PDF file of the Base Guide 7.2. *Create a database user*. The whole procedure is based on the use of */gsec/* though, in the Firebird 3 quick start guide says: “/5.1. User management/ /In Firebird 3, user management is done entirely through SQL commands. Users of previous versions are probably familiar with the //*gsec*//utility for this task. //*It is still present, but deprecated*//…”/ So it would be more correct to use the SQL procedure from isql or isql-fb to create and authorize users, and also to change the sysdba password. According to the Firebird 3 quick install guide, the procedure to change the administrator password is as follows: /If the password is masterkey and your server is exposed to the Internet at all - or even to a local network, unless you trust every user with the SYSDBA password - you should change it immediately./ /Fire up isql or another Firebird client and connect to a database. In this example, the "employee" example database is used, because its alias is always present in a freshly installed Firebird setup:/ connect localhost:employee user sysdba password masterkey; /If you do this in isql, it should respond with:/ Database: localhost:employee, User: SYSDBA /Now alter the sysdba password:/ alter user sysdba set password 'Zis4_viZuna83YoYoYo'; And the procedure to create a new user is: /Assuming you are connected to a database as SYSDBA, you can add a user account as follows:/ create user billyboy password 'TooLongFor8099Comfort'; On the other hand the Direct connection to Firebird procedure is completely wrong, it seems that it is a copy-paste of the connection to PostgreSQL, but that in Firebird it does not work. The procedure would be: * In the Database wizard select Connect to an existing database and then Firebird file. * In step 2, in the text box type the connection string: o If you want to make the connection to an external, serverless Firebird database file, the string would be of the type file:///path/to/the/file.fdb, although you can select the file directly with the Browse button. o If you want to connect to a Firebird database hosted on a Firebird server, the connection string should be of the type server/portNumber:FirebirdRegisteredDatabaseName or server/portNumber:/path/to/the/file.fdb. The port part (/portNumber) can be omitted if the port is the default Firebird port (3306). FirebirdRegisteredDatabaseName refers to a database registered in the Firebird databases.conf file. * In step 3: o If you are making a connection to an external, serverless Firebird database file, do not put username and password. o -If the connection is to a Firebird database hosted on a Firebird server, you must provide the necessary credentials to connect to the database hosted on the server. The rest of the steps are the same as for the other connections. Unfortunately my English is not good enough to modify the guide, so I hope some of you can do it. I´m here if you have any question.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Call for ideas on Technical Writing
Hello I think we need documentation on macro creation, especially on macro creation in python (which is so fashionable lately). All documentation on macros in basic is outdated and it is from OpenOffice (which, I'm afraid, will be unavailable soon) and there is very little, almost nothing, on python and it is scattered.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Getting Started Doc for 5.0.x?
Just curious... what is the demand for the comprehensive manuals actually like? Are a noticeable number selling through Lulu? Do we have any indication how many copies of the ODT and PDF docs are downloaded? Are they something the user base uses and references a lot? Or are people looking more just online without ever looking at the docs? Do the companies and government offices doing conversion over to LibreOffice use these docs or some other doc prepared by the migration team? This was something I never really got a grasp on years ago as well...

[libreoffice-documentation] Windows users and git/gerrit
The recent challenges that Peter has faced with git and gerrit has got me to thinking about how we can go about providing better guidance for Windows users. As has been noted in the other discussion, the instructions for anything related to contributing is very Linux oriented (for many reasons). The CygWin option is also a bit of a vertical leap. There are however many Windows oriented solutions for git and even gerrit that could maybe simplify things. For example, has anyone here tested or tried using TortoiseGit? (still CLI involved, but within an easier to use container) I'm currently in a situation where I only have Linux on all computers (I do have one computer with a Windows VM that I use for testing, but it's unavailable right now), so I cannot poke around for a reasonable solution to the challenges Peter is struggling with. In the long term, the WIkiHelp solution will vastly simplify this contribution hurdle, but it's not yet ready. In the mean time... how can we better help Peter and others who are nervous or unfamiliar with command line? Maybe this... https://git-extensions-documentation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getting_started.html (suggested by Beluga in IRC). Other options? Ideas?

The docs cannot go into the specifics for each distro, or we'd be here for years just trying to cover all the variations. The Linux install instructions in the LibreOffice documentation does cover how to install the generic LibreOffice from the downloaded bundle (RPM/DEB)... but that's not what you're doing if you're using yum to do the install on Fedora 20. When you installed with "yum install libreoffice-writer", you didn't install all of libreoffice. For Fedora, from command line, you need to use: yum install libreoffice This is the top level that should pull in the minimum dependencies for LibreOffice (note that it's libreoffice not libreoffice-writer).

This option is specific to Linux and OSX and printer driver/CUPS capabilities on these OS's. As I understand it, "PDF as Standard Print Job Format" is a relatively new option in LibreOffice. When printing with this option enabled, LibreOffice generates a PDF file and sends that to through to CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System) which then relays the print job to the printer. If the option is disabled, LibreOffice falls back to the older, traditional printing method where it generates a Postscript file and hands that off to CUPS. A screenshot (take on Linux in KDE4) of the option is here: http://paste.opensuse.org/93196490 For people interested in the background on this new CUPS thing, you can probably start here: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/pdf_as_standard_print_job_format Clayton -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Screenshots are considered to be "derivative works" under US Copyright Law (refer to the US Copyright Act of 1976, Section 101 if you want details). There is nothing wrong with including screenshots (as part of your documentation) of an application running under Windows, OSX, or any other operating system. We are NOT fearful of the community, we want to RESPECT the contributions of the community.

Take some time to read the CC-BY and PDL (they are not lengthy documents). Try to understand what they mean, what they protect, and what impact that has here. Basically, it will not progress the way you're suggesting.

My personal opinion... at the time, unless otherwise explicitly noted, I considered everything that was added to the OOoWiki under PDL even if it wasn't explicitly stated. The PDL was in effect on all documentation that was created from the Sun side of the equation, and the vast majority of the initial FAQ content was uploaded by Sun (easy to check, usernames like fpe, ufi, mwhaller, ccornell were all Sun contributors). At the time... the separate OOo doc team were working under CC-BY, and their contributions (to the Wiki and anywhere else) were clearly marked CC-BY and should be treated as such (and this is compatible with TDF docs today). If we treat legacy documentation content that does not have any explicit license as being under PDL (as much as we may not like PDL), we should be within reason of the original expectations of the original authors. This is compatible with the license statements on the AOO Wiki today. If the PDL is incompatible with the CC-BY-SA licenses in use for LibreOffice, then maybe instead of direct copy/paste, use the content as a starting point... rewrite and update the content to make it relevant to LibreOffice. Does this idea still respect the original author's intentions as well as the expectations of anyone who contributed to the FAQs since they were added to the Wiki?

Adding an explicit license retroactively was attempted many times (by myself and others) back when it was all still freshly uploaded on the Wiki. This was always met with loud protests and rollbacks (they would remove the license as quickly as I added it) by one or two (mainly one) very vocal community members (who weren't even documentation contributors). The best we/I could do at the time was set explicit licenses where we remembered (eg all the stuff under CC-By that Jean put into the Wiki), and we put the rest of the Wiki under a general PDL license (which was also loudly protested by the same one or two community members... no one else cared). The AOO community attempted to correct the licensing mess by keeping a blanket license in place (and more visible) that serves the same purpose as the blanket license that was in place when it was hosted by Sun. So, as it stands is what we have to work with (unless the AOO guys are willing to make the changes, but I think they'll face the same issues we did back in 2009-2011). The PDL is a bit of an odd animal making it slightly more complicated than it needs to be... a legacy of the Sun Microsystems days still haunting things :-P Even if the PDL was explicitly stated on every single Wiki page, I have a feeling you'd clash with CC-BY-SA anyway.

Unless otherwise stated, the FAQ pages on the OOo Wiki are under the PDL ( http://www.openoffice.org/licenses/PDL.html ).

No harm done. That's the beauty of Wikis. Everything is still there. :-) I can't count the number of times I've done the same thing.

Yah, "transclusion" is definitely not the first word any normal person thinks of :-) I looked through the installed extensions on the LibO Wiki... but I didn't spot LST in there. So, it's probably not installed. This means you can transclude whole pages, but (as far as I know) you cannot transclude parts of pages. I don't know how interesting LST might be for people.

If anyone else is looking for small tasks they can help outwith, feel free to join me on the FAQ editing... you can translate.. or each translated Impress FAQ will need a sanity check (English spelling, grammar, etc) and a validity check... is the FAQ answer actually correct. That's super easy to do... takes just a minute to check a new FAQ.

[libreoffice-documentation] Translating French FAQ to English on the Wiki
Hey everyone Long time no see :-) Just a quick heads up I've started doing a little Wiki editing, translating the French FAQ to English, starting with Impress. I don't have a lot of time, so I'll be tackling it as I can. The targets I'm working on are: - Translate the content - Validate the translated stuff where I can - Clean up the existing content (checking adding categories etc) Clayton -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-documentation] Introducing myself
Hi I'm Rui C Correia. I'm from Portugal and I work at Statistics Portugal (SP) - http://www.ine.pt - on the IT Department since 1997. Before I've been teaching and doing some IT management for 9 years. I have a graduation (5 years of studies) in Informatics Engineering from University of Coimbra (http://uc.pt/en/fct/dei) and I've also got some professional courses over OSS subjects and products. I've experience with OpenOffice, Apache OO e LO and other non-OSS suites. I use my knowledge, working and personal experience to do one of my present professional tasks which is to provide documentation and training. At SP we've adopted and used some OSS software over the last years. Now, we've found probably it was the right time to move into LO and so I have to prepare the change also preparing LO user guides. So why not share them with others, I thought? I also would like to get an ODFAuthors user account.

[libreoffice-documentation] Good figures showing the power of LibreOffice
Hello! Documentation Team! I recently downloaded some files to test whether they would open in LibreOffice 4. When I downloaded 400 .doc files, I opened 399 files in LibreOffice. Only 1 could not be opened. All 400 files were smaller than or equal to 692.5 KB. I started the testing from the smallest file to the largest file. It happened to be that I could not open that one file which was 692.5 KB. I am not a Maths expert. 399/400 = 99.75% Congratulations! This is excellent! Well done. To make a rough conclusion, I claim in a reasonable way that LibreOffice can open 99.75% of the .doc files I may come across in future if these files are smaller than 700KB. I do not know if these numbers are scientific enough. However, such information definitely helps me to say that LibreOffice 4 is really good! If you think that such information is possibly reliable, feel free to share in the marketing materials, etc. Regards, C. H.

My inclination would be to go ahead with the upgrade, but I wanted to ask for your opinions first. If there were no comments or if the consensus was to upgrade, I'd probably work on it at sometime over the next week, after properly backing-up our content and preparing for a rollback if needed. Similarly, I'd be inclined to retire the Explorer interface and just keep the Share interface, because this would make it simpler to learn and document how to use Alfresco. Any thoughts about this? BTW, FYI, this week I worked on the presentation of the Share interface to align it with the LibreOffice color pallet, to adjust the footer content to TDF requirements and to collect visitation stats via Piwik. My opinion: upgrade to the latest version of Alfresco. If this does in fact solve the problem of accented characters in folder names under the Share interface, then go ahead and retire the Explorer interface.

Hmm... Strange. OK, I am going to rollback the change I made and
put the Alfresco Explorer interface back online, at least temporarily
while I figure out the source of the problem.
No, no. The problem is not new with the last change but an old problem.
I don't mind wait a couple of days or a week... or more for a solution.
The Spanish team is not very active lately :-[ , so we are not in a hurry.
I'm wondering if it could possibly have anything to do with the folder
("space") names containing accented characters. Please can you allow
me 48-72 hours for all this, as I'm busy on client work right at the
moment? But I will not delay in posting back as soon as I get the
time.
Meanwhile, thanks for your patience and help with this problem.

Gary, I wasn't referring to users needing the software to read the PDF. I am fully aware that it's for producing the PDFs, not reading.

OK, who gets to cough up $450 for a license? i know I certainly cannot (I'd have a double whammy of the Acrobat license plus a Windows license), and I would not presume to request any member of the team to do so. If you personally have a license, then that's fine.. what happens if you decide you're not working on LO docs anymore due to other obligations? Or you're busy with your business clients during one publish cycle and can't take care of that final production step? My point was simple... the doc team needs to carefully consider any process tools or other suggestions that will cost money. Are they necessary? Is the gain something in demand from the audience or a neat feature that 6 people might use? Does the team gain enough to justify the cost? Does this take into account the team members using Linux?

The big hole in that idea is that Adobe Acrobat Professional is a Windows/MAC-only application that costs $449 US per license. That leaves out those of us who use Linux... and the team members that cannot afford that rather high license cost. It may be a nice-to-have feature, but due to cost and OS restrictions, it will probably remain a nice-to-have.

The Admin documentation hasn't been ported over from OOo to LibreOffice, but the process shound be much the same as is documented here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Administration_Guide/Windows I validated the instructions on OOo about 2 releases ago, and I don't think a lot has changed since then.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Alfresco doesn´t work?
Hi, David, Jean :-)
Yes, I had two accounts and I have removed one of them, the remaining
one had admin rights, and I continue having problems.
About prb1 and prb2, they are test accounts created by me to test the
work flows with different privileges. I try to access to the repository
with this accounts and I couldn't too.
Don't worry about your return, I'm not in a hurry :-) .

Actually, I exaggerated when I said I'm "back online". I'm still
traveling and won't be back for another 48-72 hours.
Juan, it is true you did have 2 accounts on Alfresco. I see one of
them has now been removed? Are you still having a problem?
Any user should be able to see the content in any space, it is not
linked to being admin or member of any particuar group.
I also see that the Brazilian team has a couple of users with the
Brazilian space set as their home space ("Eduardo Az" and "Eduardo
Gula"), instead of having their own user spaces. Also, I see the
Spanish team has created 2 users called "prb1 prb1" and "prb2 prb2".
I'll do the necessary sanitization when I'm properly "back", after
checking with you guys beforehand.
"See you soon".

A completely blank page can be triggered by a broken extension, a badly coded Template, or something in the page content that triggers a PHP error. I'd bet that if whoever has access to the Wiki server goes in and pokes the server logs - specifically the PHP and apache error logs - they will see a segfault generated when someone tries to load the page.

Baird, prizewinning writer and creator of the Screenwright(R) screenplay formatter [winner of the Sun/OOo CIP award] http://w.9TimeZones.com/avails.htm http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/scr2 http://development.openoffice.org/awardees-2008.html Executive Summary: enable screenplay formatting in LibreOffice to distinguish it from OpenOffice. Pitch: Every aspiring screenwriter has a movie in his/her head that needs to get down on paper. However, some film production companies won't accept a script submission if the formatting is even ONE POSITION off! So ensuring that screenplays are formatted correctly is an obsession of screenwriters everywhere. But formatting a script can be an expensive proposition; 78 commercial formatters are listed at The Writers Store. A screenwriter could easily spend $200 or more on software, just to get a screenplay into acceptable shape. UNLESS s/he uses LibreOffice in conjunction with the Screenwright(R) screenplay formatting template. We all want our scripts to be eligible for the next multimillion-dollar spec auction, so some of us even carry our latest screenplays in our glove compartments, on the off-chance that we might meet someone who can help. In the movie "Monster In A Box," Spalding Gray talks about one of his trips to Los Angeles: «I had no idea how difficult it would be to find people not involved in the film industry until I got out there and saw a special on television - in which they were interviewing people in the parking lot of a Shop Rite supermarket. As people came out with their groceries, the interviewer would go up to them and say, "Hi there, good morning! Tell us, how's your film script going?" And everyone said, "What?! How did you know?" Right up to the cashier.» If the Screenwright(R) screenplay formatting template can be included as an integral part of the upcoming LibreOffice release, it will send a clear signal--to filmmakers in particular and to the Entertainment sector in general--that LibreOffice is ready to address the industry's unique text-processing and -formatting needs. News travels fast among members of the Entertainment industry, and they tend to be the gatekeepers and style leaders for the culture at large. Historical context: OOo Writer is the first (and for now, the only) full-featured word processor that will easily format a screenplay at no cost whatsoever. But it requires a template download and installation. If LibreOffice wants to capitalize on this unique opportunity, the template could be integrated in the upcoming LibreOffice release. Alan C. Baird Mesa, Arizona USA acbaird at yahoo.com Extra: using your iPod to write screenplays. [You can also use your iPhone, thumb/flash drive, mp3 player, or favorite USB storage device.] It's a snap: A) At the bottom of your iPod's "Summary" tab in iTunes, check the "Enable disk use" box, and click the "Apply" button. B) Download and install the latest free OpenOffice.org (LibreOffice?) Portable suite on your iPod. http://portableapps.com/apps/office/openoffice_portable C) Download and install this free scr2.ott template on your iPod. When we stay in Tucson with my wife's friend--who has a Windows computer, but no Internet connection--I keep myself entertained by working on my latest screenplay or just kicking back and listening to some music (perhaps Mark Knopfler's Screenplaying). I can also use the iPod to revise my script on the public computers in: (1) my local library, (2) London's Heathrow airport, (3) Beijing's cyber-cafés,
