Re: [SFD-discuss] Call for Help on SVG Counter

by Maren Hachmann

Hi Fred, yes, SFD was good in Kiel :) Took me a bit to recover from all the work (we're organizing a whole conference, not 'only' SFD), but now I can test away with the generator extension. I don't have an issue with the commas, though. I put the text in quotation marks, and then it works (with a single comma per replaced text, it fails for the row when there are more). Is there more than one comma in the items? If so, we can switch to using semicolons or some other unused character, and drop the commahack. Not sure what you're missing about the SVG file with Javascript included - what exactly are you confused about? An example of a similar type of file (SVG + JS in an embed tag) is here: https://vektorrascheln.de/ iframe or object should work, too. But on some sites, CSP headers won't allow loading this kind of image from a different domain. A static image of the png/svg/jpg kind is certainly easier to use and embed on all kinds of websites, and it seems to be easy to generate now.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Call for Help on SVG Counter

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hey! I hope you had a great SFD. mine is still in the making here (public holidays conflict). So after playing with the extension I had issues, some which I fixed (like finding the text size in pixel - which is not the value displayed in Inkscape), some which I didn't unfortunately. Still trying to figure out how to insert a comma in some of the text. Apparently the current csv import doesn't support that. I emailed the extension creator but didn't get any response yet. It seems I would need to replace the csv interpreter code to allow comma to be accepted. And since now you have time I am still a bit confused about the other alternative which was having a script inside the SVG file and making it run from SFD's servers. What am I missing? Thank you.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Call for Help on SVG Counter

by Maren Hachmann

Hi Fred, glad it works! That extension is really very useful. The only thing it can't do is to adjust the width of the text automatically, not sure if that's a problem. Using centered text helps to alleviate the issue. I didn't remember that the generator extension would also do the exporting to the format you'd need, that's why I added the export extension to the mix - good that it's not needed :) Is there still anything left for me to do? (I could probably add functionality to query the text object's width and to scale it down to the desired max width. Always wanted to put that in anyway...)

Small "bug" in 2019/Spain page

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! After 2 weird page creations we noticed the 2019/Spain city pages were created under 2019/Iran. Not sure why the country in that page was replaced (it's some text before the submit button) but it is now fixed. Sorry about that. And don't forget to register your event (for those who haven't yet - like Bilbao ;-) ) by going to https://www.softwarefreedomday.org/cgi-bin/register.py Thank you very much! Happy SFD to all. Fred

Re: [SFD-discuss] Call for Help on SVG Counter

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Wow Excellent! So don't worry it's not going to be for this SFD! Now I've downloaded and install ink-generator and played with the sample file: everything works. I'm currently using inkscape v. 0.92 (Fedora) so no issue with using v1.0 yet. I am not sure why I would need the export object extension though. Is it because we have move than 1 design in the same file? The way I look at it as we have a few languages we'll have all the "numbered" countdown file in the same svg/csv for all languages (actually they don't change anymore until we change the whole countdown design). Then we have 3 files to edit and export per language each year. They are actually 1 file with 3 different texts. Only Spanish has a text size change in 1 image because the text is too long. Maybe I could add font size as a parameter (though it switches from 1 line to 2 smaller lines - maybe something we can improve). Again I'd have 1 svg/csv pair to generate those 3 images x translations. So we'd end up 2 svg/csv, using on 1 pair in fact, except if we change the countdown design. And then we (I ;-) ) manually upload the 3 images in the wiki. Please correct me if I missed anything! Thank you very much.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Call for Help on SVG Counter

Hi Fred, yes, this should be possible, using the inkscape-generator extension that is available in Ubuntu repositories (example files that can serve as instructions here: https://inkscape.org/~Moini/%E2%98%85example-files-for-generator-extension) and the export-objects extension ( https://gitlab.com/su-v/inx-exportobjects) Both extensions may need to be adjusted (if you want to use Inkscape 1.0 at some point, they have to be), and a script would need to be written to wrap them. I'm busy currently with our Kielux event, so cannot help you with it before this year's SFD. For the next one, I think I could.

Re: [SFD-discuss] Call for Help on SVG Counter

by Frederic Muller - DFF

Hi! Thank you for all your explanation. Reading again your email it is a lot of choices to make ;-) I initially thought it was possible to include everything inside the SVG image and that people could just reference it as they do with the png file today. From my recent searches it seems not, and JS is always needed and causes issues you're referring to. So with that in mind I'd rather go for a script that takes the initial design, pick a language (from?) and generate 100 or 300 png files with the right name for each language. Is this possible? Thank you. Fred On 8/28/16 11:24 PM, Maren Hachmann wrote: > Hi Fred, > > Am 28.08.2016 um 06:48 schrieb Frederic Muller - DFF: >> Thank you for the answer.
