Custom Transformations

[gladiac]

Having some problems with transforming files using a custom transformers xml file - Alfresco seems to be ignoring the custom instructions and just renaming the file.  I've checked that the command works in a terminal, no errors thrown when starting the server etc.  I've added a new filetype (png) to the transformers list for the web client and it is available to select when setting a rule up, but the end result of a transformation is a .png-named file but still in pdf format :?.

Any ideas, or places for more debugging info?

Thanks, xml below, feel free to move if this is the wrong section etc.

   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Action Wizards">
      <!– The list of transformers to show in the transform actions –>
      <transformers>
         <transformer name="image/png"/>

Eventaully fixed it using a shell script to protect the commands from whatever Alfresco is doing to them.

Shell script called from the transformers xml file with the commandMap /opt/script.sh ${target} ${source}

Hi,

I have a custom converter written to convert CSV files into XML's. Could you please share what all configurations that I need to do like web-client.xml, etc.

I just have the converter java code written.

Thanks in advance
