RE: [xwiki-users] Need Aggregate PDF's with TOC
This may be a bit of a longshot for you however, before turning to XWiki I had taken a look a egroupware (www.egroupware.org). It seems to be capable of doing what you would like, as a warning though the code is a bit overgrown and can be very messy in places. It is in php and they have managed to incorporate wikkitikkitavi into the product as their wiki engine. I suspect that with some work it may be possible to incorporate XWiki into this project using the php java extension http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/marknold20001221.php3, although it is no doubt a non-trivial task. - Mark -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Schaub [mailto:stephen_schaub_88@hotmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 8:48 AM To: xwiki-users@objectweb.org Subject: [xwiki-users] Need Aggregate PDF's with TOC I am attempting to use Xwiki as a CMS for software development project documentation. A key requirement is to generate aggregate documents with page numbers and a table of contents. Currently, Xwiki doesn't seem to offer this feature, so I thought I would try using Cocoon to pull documents from Xwiki, aggregate them, and generate a PDF. (Cocoon lets you get source documents either from the file system, or from http URL's.) Has anyone attempted this before? I am running into difficulty and am not an expert on Xwiki or Cocoon, though I do have some experience with xslt technology. Before spinning my wheels too much, I thought I would post here to see if there might be a better way to accomplish what I want to do. I really like what I see in Xwiki, but if there is another product that might work better for this requirement, I might consider it. I've looked at a number of free CMS products, and so far I haven't found any that offer the ease of Wiki editing with the kind of aggregate PDF generation I want (specifically, TOC with page numbers). Last year in teaching this class I used Apache Forrest, but it's not very user friendly. I would love to find something that would be easier for the students to use. Thanks in advance for any suggestions... Stephen
