Support of OpenOffice/StarOffice documents for indexing

[dbrunner]

Is the StarOffice/OpenOffice (OpenDocument or OpenOffice 1.x) file format supported for indexing and search ?

I tried to store some StarOffice documents, and I can't search in the content. It's working with Office ord PDF documents.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

What file extensions are you interested in?  .sxw, .odt …

These have to be enabled in the UnoContentTransformer code.  I'll enable and test the sxw and odt quickly.

Hi,

I have enabled and tested the .sxw and .odt to .txt transformations.  To enable yourself, add the following to UnoContentTransformer:

        formatsByConversion.put(
                new ContentTransformerRegistry.TransformationKey(MimetypeMap.MIMETYPE_OPENOFFICE_WRITER, MimetypeMap.MIMETYPE_TEXT_PLAIN),
                new DocumentFormatWrapper(DocumentFormat.TEXT, 1.0));
        formatsByConversion.put(
                new ContentTransformerRegistry.TransformationKey(MimetypeMap.MIMETYPE_OPENDOCUMENT_TEXT, MimetypeMap.MIMETYPE_TEXT_PLAIN),
                new DocumentFormatWrapper(DocumentFormat.TEXT, 1.0));
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The checkin was done as revision 2125 (svn://www.alfresco.org).

Thanks for pointing this out and I hope it helps.

I didn't try until now, but I am interested in the sxw, sxc, sxi and the corresponding OpenDocument formats.

It would be nice to also include sdw, sdc and the sdi documents.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have added this as a task to be done for the 1.2 release: http://www.alfresco.org/jira/browse/AR-345

How can I download the revision 2125 ? May be you can send me just the corresponding jar so that I can install on my system ?

Thanks for all. Pleaser also add support in V1.2 for the older StarOffice 5.2 file formats (*.sdw, *.sdi, *.sdc, *.sdd).
