BasicAddonBuilder - The Extension's packager

The version 0.5.2 causes the crashes of AOO 4.1.3 (Mac OSX 10.7.5) .

Hi Paolo,

I would like to use this tool again but I'm getting 404 error when I try to download any release no. I even tried downloading other extensions to see if this happens to all of them but I was able to download them properly.

Thanks,
Chino

The No Content Provider available for given URL!. Error is to do with the temp directory and long and short DOS filenames i.e. 8.3 I haven't fully debuged it but replacing GetTempFile with the following in Common and creating a c:\tmp Folder will get it working!

Function GetTempFile() As String
Dim oFileAccess As Object
Dim sTempDirUrl As String
Dim sTmpPath As String
Dim sFileUrl As String

oFileAccess = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess")

sTempDirUrl = "file:///c:/tmp"

If GetGUIType() = 0 Then ' Windows
'in Windows it may happen that the temp dir is stored in the
'ooo configuration with the old DOS format (8.3)
'example: "c:\DOKUMEN~1\Guest\LOKALE~1\Temp"
'so we need to fix it
sTmpPath = ConvertFromUrl(sTempDirUrl)
sTmpPath = FixDOSFilePath(sTmpPath)
sTempDirUrl = ConvertToUrl(sTmpPath)
End If
sTempDirUrl = FixDirPath(sTempDirUrl)

'generate an unique temp file name
Do
sFileUrl = sTempDirUrl & "~tmp-" & LCase(CStr(Hex(GetSystemTicks())))
Loop While oFileAccess.exists(sFileUrl)

GetTempFile = sFileUrl

End Function

Hi Paolo,

first of all: "Thanks for this great Extension!"
I've been using it for long time to export my own little code-snippets.
Now i graded up to OOo-3.3.0 and its not working anymrore :-(.
OOo crashes while exporting the chosen library.
Is this a general Problem or just depending on my config / installation?
Perhaps anyone has a suggestion to solve this Problem.

Greetings, Alex

Hi,

first thx for the great extension. My problem is that when I install the extension on "another PC" this goes under OpenOffice Macros (while is under Personal Macros in the PC wher I built it). This makes sense somehow, but what if I want to port it to another machine where I then wnat to modify the macros? I.e. how to install in Personal Macros?

Grazie

Stefano

It give me "Error 0: variabile dell'oggetto non impostata" on Ubuntu 9.10

So, I followed the steps as described in the linux.com-review and got a simple toolbar with 3 buttons, one for each macro I have written so far.

BasicAddonBuilder 0.3.5 seems to do what it advertises (and very easy, congrats!), but when I add the .oxt to my OOo, I cannot enable it because 'the status of this extension is unknown'. Any ideas? I had the same problem with 'Sun PDF importer v1.0', but I just installed v1.0.1 and this works perfectly.

Using OOo 3.0.1 on Debian Lenny x86_64

I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 and Openoffice 3.1.1. I tried in Windows XP profecional with OpenOffice 3.0.0 and it worked fine.
Error display:
Error 0: Object variable not set

Running the macro on OpenOffice 3.1.1 I get an "Error 0: Object variable not set".

I just downloaded and installed it on my MacBook, unfortunately it crashes, I'm using OOo 3.0.1, has anyone else tried this?

If count of buttons or menu elements is bigger than 9, program associate in XML tag node oor:name="m." double digits numbers. OpenOffice then sort elements according to its numbers like this:
m1, m10, m11, m12, m2, m3 .... and in this way resort order of elements in UI, so regadless author thinking. I think that numbers in object name should be 01,02, .... 12 if count is double digits number (3 digits is improbable).
