Hi, The flow is enforced to first create the item in the repository/CMS through our own 'New' menu where they select a location in the repository and a 'template' topic/map and add additional metadata. The selection of that template item is important because it already contains pre-filled content (and metadata). Would it be possible to limit the CMS plugin contributed browse to certain actions, or at least exclude it from some action like 'Save As'? We also have our own Save As.. ('Check In As...') functionality through our own menu.

So by default it will work as it does now, first creating the untitled document and then the end user needs to save it someplace. I guess we could try to add a system property to disable the "Save as" functionality. Would this work for you? Right now, if your custom URL handler is called by Oxygen to obtain an output stream, and Oxygen writes to that output stream and closes, what does the connector do if the URL cannot be located on the CMS (it's a new resource which has never been saved before)?

Hi Radu, This would be a great addition for our plugin. Today, users can either create new files directly in Componize (Alfresco) via the web interface, or create them in oXygen and then use the standard Save to URL... action in oXygen. Although I think the addition of the Save As option in your screenshot would be great, I also like the idea of users being able to create a new document without giving it a name and then being presented with a Save As dialog when they first Save (exactly how it works in Word). Either way would be a great plus for our plugin. As for API requirements, maybe it would be good if there was an API we could implement that would be called by oXygen to get the current Save As default location and default file name.

Re: [oXygen-sdk] New Oxygen 19 feature which allows saving new files to CMS
by Pascal Beutels 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Hi, We have our own specific menu, because before actually creating the new file on the file system, we need to create/update information in our database. Our CMS also requires files to be 'checked out' before editing. Saving in Oxygen means saving to the filesystem, when done editing files need to be 'checked in'. Can this be disabled? Or is it only available when implementing an interface?

New Oxygen 19 feature which allows saving new files to CMS

Hi everyone, This mail is mostly for CMS vendors who created plugins for the standalone version of Oxygen. For Oxygen 19.0 (which we plan to release in the Spring of 2017) we added an enhancement when using the "File->New" action from Oxygen. Please see the attached screenshot. Users will be able to specify a location where to save the new file, instead of opening it as an untitled document and then saving later on. So the CMS plugin contributed browse actions will also appear in the "Save As" list of browse actions.

Integrating with eXist
by Toma Tasovac 22 Oct '16

22 Oct '16

Hi. We're looking into having an oXygen plug-in developed which would make it possible to upload local files to eXist-db directly from oXygen. (I'm not talking about opening eXist files in oXygen, but rather about using the local filesystem under version control in oXygen and then occasionally deploying files to eXist). At this point, I'm not looking for complex mirroring of files and hierarchies (especially since our local folder hierarchies do not necessarily correspond to the hierarchies in eXist-db), but a very simple one-on-one thing: a button in oXygen which on click will talk to eXist, deploy the current oXygen file to eXist-db (based on configuration values), trigger a reindex in eXist and notify the user that everything went ok. The plugin should be configurable and allow for multiple deployments (e.g. deploy to local server and then remote, or staging server and production server etc.) Any advice on how best to implement this with the oXygen SDK? We'd like to reuse as much as possible the functionalities that already exist. All best, Toma -- Belgrade Center for Digital Humanities http://humanistika.org

[Ann] Oxygen XML Editor 18.1 version released
by Radu Coravu 20 Oct '16

20 Oct '16

Hi everybody, I am happy to announce that version 18.1 of oXygen XML Editor is now available for download on our website. The entire set of new features can be found here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/whatisnew18.1.html The Author SDK Maven repository has also been updated: https://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_sdk.html As always we added lots of Java API to Oxygen. I will enumerate below some of the API changes, the complete list can be found here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/whatisnew18.1.html#18.1API - Control Titles Computation in the DITA Maps Manager. The "WSDITAMapEditorPage.addNodeRendererCustomizer" API allows you to let Oxygen compute topic titles in the DITA Maps Manager view but to also allow the API developer to display additional information in the topic title (for example looking at metadata inside the topic). - Retrieve an Icon to be Displayed for a File Type. Starting with version 17.1 we've been improving Oxygen to be Retina aware, both on Mac OSX and on Windows. If your plugin is not retina aware, the icons it contributes for toolbar buttons may appear scaled out or fuzzy when using Retina screens. The API method "ImageUtilitiesSpecificProvider.loadIcon(URL)" allows you to have for your plugin two sets of images (non-retina and retina). When running on a retina or HiDPI display, the application will try to load a corresponding image for the current display. This topic explains how the application tries to load an image based on the initial given image location and on the display type: https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/18/ug-author/topics/using-retina-hid… - Listener for Replace All in Files Operations. If you have a CMS integration plugin for the standalone Oxygen, you may want to be notified before and after Oxygen starts a "Replace All" operation on the entire set of DITA Map resources. The "PluginWorkspace.addBatchOperationsListener()" allows CMS integration plugins to automatically check out topics before they are modified by the Oxygen "Find/Replace in Files" tool. - Internationalization Support for Plugins If a plugin has an i18n folder with a specific translation.xml configuration file containing translations in various languages, the StandalonePluginWorkspace.getResourceBundle() API method provides access to translations of messages in the current language set in the application. - Create Editing Component to Use in Your Own Custom Container. The StandalonePluginWorkspace.createEditorComponentProvider() API method allows you to create a small editing component with various edit modes (Text, Grid, Author) that you can use in your own custom dialog boxes to edit XML content. For example if you want to create your own action to insert links and you want your custom dialog to show a preview of the target file, this API now allows you to create the Author preview area for your custom dialog.

The oxy_video form control can be used to play video files, the oxy_browser form control can be used to render an HTML page or SVG file, and the oxy_audio form control can play audio clips. Implement Custom "Heavy" Form Controls oXygen now provides support for Heavy form controls. This new type of form control allows you to play video and audio resources, and render HTML or SVG resources. You can also implement your own custom form controls based on the new Heavy architecture. Convert Paragraphs to List Items and Change List Item Type When editing DITA, DocBook, XHTML, or TEI documents, you can easily convert selected paragraphs to list items by using the various Insert List Item actions on the toolbar. You can also change selected list items to another type (for example, change an unordered list to an ordered list). Smart Paste Handles Internal Links in Office Documents The Smart Paste feature has been improved to preserve links to other parts of the same document, when pasting content from Office documents into Author mode. Links are converted to cross references for the particular document type that you are working with. Improvements to Paste Strategies in Tables The strategies for the behavior of the paste mechanism when pasting content in table cells has been improved. Now, copied cells are pasted while preserving their initial order and spacing. DITA Support for Video and Audio Media Objects oXygen now includes actions to easily insert video or audio content within DITA topics. The oXygen visual editing Author mode will not only display the media content, but also allow you to play it in-place. On the publishing side, oXygen comes with a DITA-OT plugin that will enable the multimedia content to appear in HTML and PDF output. Embed Video and Audio Media in DITA to WebHelp Output You can insert references to video and audio media resources (such as YouTube videos) in your DITA topics and publish them to WebHelp output. The embedded video and audio objects can be played directly in all HTML5-based outputs, including WebHelp systems. Improve Speed for Computing Topic Titles The amount of time it takes to compute topic titles in the DITA Maps Manager view was reduced as oXygen accesses multiple topics in the same time to extract the title information. New Action for Duplicating Topics There is now a new contextual menu action in the DITA Maps Manager view called Duplicate that creates a copy of the selected topic and insert it as a sibling. It is helpful for quickly creating a new DITA topics that is similar to an existing topic. Lightweight DITA Improvements The Lightweight DITA DTDs were updated to the latest version. Also, you can now use the new Insert Media action to insert references to video or audio resources when editing Lightweight DITA documents. Tracked Changes and Comments Can Be Displayed in PDF Output You now have the ability to display tracked changes and comments in DITA to PDF output. This can be done by simply setting a parameter in the transformation scenario. Validate and Check for Completeness Command Line Tool A new command line tool was added that executes a Validate and Check for Completeness operation on a specified DITA map. The results are displayed in the command console (for example, whether or not the validation was successful, the number of errors or warnings, or you can even specify to display the entire report). The tool requires an oXygen Scripting license. Markdown Editor New Markdown Editor oXygen now includes a built-in Markdown editor that allows you to write and edit documents using Markdown syntax and converts it to HTML or DITA. The specialized multi-pane editor includes a preview panel to help you visualize the final output. The editor includes a variety of helpful actions, automatic validation, syntax highlighting to make it easier to read and write, and specialized syntax rules that combine popular features from several specifications. Create Markdown Documents Directly from DITA Maps Manager The Markdown editing support includes unique features that allow you to create Markdown documents directly in DITA maps (from the DITA Maps Manager) and to convert Markdown documents to DITA topics. Content Completion Improved Precision for Content Completion oXygen allows you to set a configuration file to control the content completion proposals for elements presented in the Content Completion Assistant. Now, you can identify more precisely the elements you want to control, by being able to check attributes and attribute values on those elements. Improved Content Completion for XPath and XQuery The Content Completion Assistant for XPath and XQuery was updated to take into account the latest additions in XPath 3.0 and XQuery 3.0. For example, new functions are now offered though content completion, such as empty-sequence, document-node, item, comment, namespace-node, and processing-instruction - just to name a few. File Comparison Tool More Accurate Second Level Comparisons on XML Nodes When using the XML Fast and XML Accurate algorithms for two-way or three-way comparisons, the second level comparison is now processed using a syntax-aware comparison that splits the files or fragments into sequences of tokens and computes the differences between them. This results in a more accurate second level comparison. Improvements to the Format and Indent Action The Format and Indent action in the File Comparison tool now works on more file types. You can now use the action on the following types of files: XQuery, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, RNC, XSD, RNG, NVDL, XML, ANT, DITAMap, WSDL, SVG, Schematron, XProc, XSL, and HTML. As usual, oXygen also added many new API and component updates for this release. Please let us know if you encounter any problems with this beta build. All feedback is welcome!

Plans to abandon support for Java 1.6
by Radu Coravu 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

Hi everybody, In the next Oxygen version (version 18.1, this Autumn) we plan to abandon support for Java 1.6 and offer support only for Java 1.8 or newer. This means that you will no longer be able to run Oxygen using Java 1.6. Plugins and add ons compiled with Java 1.6 should work without any problem. If anybody has customization problems with our decision please tell us. Regards, Radu Radu Coravu <oXygen/> XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT Editor/Debugger http://www.oxygenxml.com
