Hi,
I've tested the importer.. Installation and running it went fine ! Pretty cool. The documents where well imported in HTML with images attached and converted.
Some bugs: - a documents with accents was showing the accents in UTF-8 when my wiki is ISO-8869-1. A conversion needs to be done.
I have no idea about the xwiki encoding system but I will learn it. I'll keep this encoding problem in mind. Can you give me some detail suggestion? Thanks very much.
You should read $xwiki.encoding and make sure you convert to that encoding anything that you put in wiki pages (that's not true for attachments).
Some remarks: - it would be nice that the application can launch OO itself
I can do this:)
- you also need to write your code so that it can call the web service version of jodconverter
You mean invoke a conversion service in a remote machine? I will create a remote service converter class which implement the abstract converter to do this. Use which converter can be configured in xwiki.cfg
Yes and we would need this to pass firewalls which means being in HTTP and with proxy settings..
- the application way would be nice to demonstrate and test the tool: a file upload, you choose the page and the document is added at the end of the page
I am planning to do in the application way:)
- one of the features of the conversion should be to convert any OO to HTML or PDF and should be integrated as links next to attachment (view as HTML or view as PDF).
The conversion between many formats is considered but I don't think I can do it know. I will retain some useful interface for this feature. I will public the interface to list for comment. WDYT?
I've commited some code that does it.. I think you should make the code more modular and one calling the other.. Concerting to HTML is just a subset case of conversion.
Also there could be a macro to integrate the HTML conversion in the middle of the page. Similar to {attach} but would embed the document directly in the page. So you should make sure your API allows to not only convert to wiki but also to any format.
Yes, this kind of api is my first thought and I implement it. The problem is that, if I use the {import: test.doc} to insert the html code of conversion to the page, the conversion method will be *invoked everytime* when the page refresh. How to deal with this problem. I have not develop a macro but I think I can do it. Can you give me some sample?
Yes but we can include a cache of the conversion at the wiki level Ludovic

Hi Vincent & all,
I finish the clean of the plugin code and write a simple user manual. You can see it in http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/OfficeImporter#HQuickStart.
All
files needed for this plugin can be found in that page http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/OfficeImporter, except the openoffice install . Please give some feedback after try the plugin. Any feedback will be very appreciated. This plugin is very initial. It only put out the html code , not xwiki syntax, because the html code to xwiki syntax conversion should be done
by
XHTMLParser which is not ready yet.
Open question: Now the plugin can handle the file which is uploaded to xwiki as a attachment. Do you think it's necessary that the office importer would
have
the upload feature itself or should provide a XWikiAction something like "bin/importer/Main/page"? Now the plugin can work. However it's a little complicate. If you want to convert a office document 1. you first upload the document 2. copy the attachment name(because the name of document change after upload) 3. edit the page and add the velocity code to use the importer plugin 4. save and view. I think it should be more simple.
WDYT
