export

Running the script

The script to export wiki pages to PDF is executed from:

php {MW_ROOT}/extensions/BlueSpiceUniversalExport/maintenance/export.php --specification-file=spec.json

The specification file spec.json can have the following content:

{
    "module": "pdf",
    "attachments": 1,
    "recursive": 1,
    "title": "PDF",
    "target": "localfilesystem",
    "target-file-name": "All.pdf",
    "target-file-path": "/path/to/target-file"
}

Key	Value	Description
module	pdf
attachments	1 0
recursive	1 0
title	string
target	localfilesystem
target-file-name
target-file-path

Creating a page list for the export

The pages to be exported are defined in the wiki page that is shown as the title in the json-file. (In the example above, this is the page PDF .)

The page PDF now needs to list all pages that will be exported to PDF.

This list can be created with an SMW inline query (BlueSpice free) or with a DPL3 list (BlueSpice free).

Example of an SMW query to create an export for all pages in the categories Process and Work instruction:

==All processes==
{{#ask:[[Process:+]]|format=ul|limit=99999}}

==All work instructions==
{{#ask:[[Work instruction:+]]|format=ul|limit=99999}}

The same list can be created with the following DPL3 syntax:

==All processes==
{{#dpl:category=Process}}

==All work instructions==
{{#dpl:category=Work instruction}}

Setting up a CronJob

To automate the export, the following CronJob is available:
