Bug #54004 for OpenOffice-OODoc: User defined fields

Tue Jan 26 07:36:44 2010 rlauer6 [...] comcast.net - Ticket created

Subject:

User defined fields

user defined fields seem to have stopped working in versions after 2.035. The values after being set properly in 2.035 appear in the document. 2.102+ seems to have broken that feature. We can no longer set user defined fields and see them in the document. I suspect something obvious was changed, but we've spun our wheels for a day trying to figure it out. Any clues would be much appreciated. $doc->userFieldValue($name, $value);

Some additional information... the user defined field is contained in a table cell...examining the XML we find that the attribute "table:value" is set after a call to userFieldValue rather than "text-string-value"

Hello, In order to allow me to reenact the issue, could you please post in attachments the document and the perl script that produce the error ? In addition, could you check if: 1) the issue appears specifically with SXW files (i.e. the old OpenOffice 1.0 format) or both with SXW and ODT files ? 2) the issue is the same when the user field is located in a table cell as when the user field is in a text paragraph ? Thanks. Le Mar 26 Jan 2010 11:07:02, rlauer6@comcast.net a écrit : Show quoted text

Great! Thanks so much for the great work you've done on this project! Our work around for now is below (which seems to allow the fields to display): my $element = $doc->getUserField($name); $element->set_att('text:display', 'value'); instead of... $doc->userFieldValue( $name, $value ); On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 3:49 AM, Jean-Marie Gouarné via RT <bug-OpenOffice-OODoc@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

Right ! However, be careful: by changing the 'text:display' attribute, you just update the visible value but not necessarily the internal value of the field. It possibly doesn't matter in your application. On the other hand, wait for my next message ;-)

OpenOffice::OODoc 2.112 is now available. Hopefully, the bug is fixed in this new release. Please check and report, so I'll close the ticket if everything is OK.

Yep, 2.112 fixes it for us. Thanks again for your work on this issue, and for OO::OODoc generally. -Al

Sorry I meant to say that the patch we actually used was: my $element = $doc->getUserField($name); $element->set_att('text:string-value, $value); Our first stab was to see if the 'text:display' attribute was the issue...but we later looked into the XML and saw the 'table:value' attribute being set instead of the 'text:string-value' attribute...hence our work around.
