Impress Guide (Chapter 3)

Hi David,

The style guide can also be found at the wiki. It's under First steps with the Documentation team, Style Guide for LibreOffice User guide.

Where can I find the thread?

Hi all,

We are working on the Impress Chapter 1 user guide. We need to replace the old screenshot. Do we delete away the old and insert new screenshot? I just want to double check.

How do we upload to the Draft to Alfresco? Do we need specific privilege user account to do that?

Song Chuan

Hi,

How do we upload to the Draft to Alfresco? Do we need specific privilege user account to do that?

You guys (yourself, Sufyan and Jaimon) have the permissions needed to
check out and check in documents. On http://alfresco.libreoffice.org,
go to Company Home > (en) English [English] Content > Documentation >
Impress Guide > Drafts

Click on the down arrow beside the document you want to work on, and
choose "Check out". You will then be guided to retrieve the doc to
your desktop while, on Alfresco, that document will be marked as
checked out by you.

You then do your work and, when finished, check it back in again.

Then the idea would be to write back to the list here, under the
thread started for the chapter in question, and report back telling
the team what you've done.

On the copy of the document you work on, you can delete and replace
the previous screenshots without problem. Alfresco incorporates a
version control system, so no-one's work is irretrievable if there's a
problem with a new version of a doc...

Anyone who would like to be able to ask me questions in real time can
get me on Skype as traduction.biz

HTH. :wink:

Thanks David!

Song Chuan

Hi,

So I've just had a look at chapter 3 of the Impress guide, and the
screenshots *look like* they were taken under Windows... My suggestion
would be that we re-take them (see the Chapter 1 thread for the
discussion on screenshot conventions)...

Anyone got any other ideas?

Jaimon, Song Chuan, Sufyan, do you feel ready for this?

Hi Tom,

With reference to Documentation Team's wiki page, I go to Documentation Development page which is under "Joining the Documentation Team". From there, you can find Style Guide for LibreOffice User guide under First steps with the Documentation Team.

Hope I did not confuse you :slight_smile:

Hi

I've just change the screenshot for Impress Chapter 3. I've check out and it's locked. How do I checked in?
I follow the Alfresco Help at http://www.alfresco.com/help/34/community/ecmexplorerhelp/
but I couldn't find any Checkin link!

Hi :slight_smile:
There is something weird about permissions in Alfresco at the moment. Hopefully
David should be able to sort it out

I see. I have made a copy of the same draft of Impress Chapter 3 earlier on at Alfresco Documentation. It is located at the bottom named 0503IG3-AddFormatText (Working Copy).odt created by mistake. Please remove it to prevent confusion. I'm sorry about that.

Song Chuan

Alfresco automatically makes a working copy when you check out a file. Below the working copy should be several icons, one of which is the Checkin icon, usually the one on the far left.

Hi Song Chuan, guys,

I see. I have made a copy of the same draft of Impress Chapter 3 earlier on at Alfresco Documentation. It is located at the bottom named 0503IG3-AddFormatText (Working Copy).odt created by mistake. Please remove it to prevent confusion. I'm sorry about that.

I have successfully checked your file in.

The operation is as follows: you click on the down arrow beside the
file you want to check out ("xxxxxxx.odt"). Alfresco offers you the
opportunity to create the working copy either in the same space as the
original or somewhere else. One chooses "in the same space" as the
place. You get to download the file to work on it locally on your own
computer. You download and do the work. Then you want to check the
file in.

To do this, you click on the "Check in" icon on the far left below the
file called "xxxxxx.odt (working copy)". You get the chance to choose
between using "xxxxxx.odt (working copy)" on the Alfresco platform as
the new version, or uploading a revised copy from your local computer.
You choose to upload a copy from your computer and upload it. You then
click the "Check in" button. You will see that the working copy will
have disappeared and there will only be one copy of the file there
now.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The workflow is a work in progress right
now. We will get it sorted out quickly, hopefully in collaboration
with the Alfresco project, and then we will ensure that our team
documentation is updated to provide clear explanations...

Meanwhile, HTH.

Hi David

Thanks for the detail guide.

Regards
Song Chuan

Hi David,

Thanks a lot. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 instead of 11.04 as a dual boot, and it is working perfect :-).  So, can I continue with my previous assignment?

Jaimon

I'm really happy that was a good solution for you. It would be great
if you can continue then, and could you please keep us posted on the
list about your progress so that Song Chuan and Sufyan can fit in with
you?

A big thanks for your work, and please don't hesitate to ask me
something if I can be of help in any way.

Hi Song,

Did u guys finish the Impress guide chapter 1, pics update? I have checked out same file, and I am doing the figures assigned to me at the first time.

Regards,
Jaimon Jacob

Hi Jaimon

We've updated the screenshot. You can update the screenshot as assigned to you. Thank you.

I'm also using LibfreOffice 3.3.2. I found the setting at Option and under LibreOffice, View. You can choose Small for Icon Size and Galaxy(Default) for style.

Best Regards
Song Chuan

Hi Jaimon,

Could you maybe do the same task on the Getting Started guide?

The files to process would be under Company Home > (en) English
[English] Content > Documentation > Getting Started Guide > Published

Would this be OK for you?

Hi David,

Yes. I will do that.

Regards,
Jaimon Jacob

Hi David,

Obviously, the images in the documents are taken in windows. Do you want me to update them with images from Ubuntu? Just confirming :slight_smile:

Regards,
Jaimon Jacob
