Hi forum

I just installed OpenKM and added some documents, among these some webpages.
How do I make OpenKM display them correctly, that is, as seen in my webbrowser?

I can right-click on a webpage and choose Edit from the menu, but that only opens up the webpage inside the HTML editor, in which the webpage does not look as seen in my webbrowser.

I hope it's clear what I mean, otherwise feel free to ask.
Searched documentation and forum with no luck, so I hope someone here can help.

Thanks!

Best,
Henrik

I think I know what the problem is:

I only uploaded the HTML-file itself and not the folder with the same name as the HTML-file, i.e. the folder associated with the HTML-file.
Inside the associated folder is all the graphics etc. necessary to display the web page correctly.
A browser automatically "sees" this associated folder when you point the browser to the HTML-file in question.
Thus the browser knows how to display the webpage properly.
But how do I go about uploading full webpages to OpenKM?
Do I really need to convert each webpage to a PDF-file first, and then just upload the PDF-file?

Thanks.

Best,
Henrik

For what I understand you want to capture webpage from url and import all data to openkm no ?

This is a feature what is not implemented and needs to think. Are several options.
1- Probably most easy is capture screenshot (image) and asociate text to be indexed ( that seems the easiest ).
2- Capture url with css images etc... -> change links to refer objects and be able to preview from openkm preview tab

Additionaly to complement case 1, could be asociated zip with full capture ( case 2 ). Aso you see it's not so trivial. Best option always should be show some input from openkm to set the url ( other option is something like firefox, chrome plugins etc.. that does a lot of maintenace effor after doing it ).

Well if you want to participate on it, you're wellcome is interesting feature and we will try to help you on it.

I found a way out:

In Google Chrome you can add an extension called Fireshot.
It lets you copy a webpage to PDF so that you get a PDF-file with the content of the webpage, of course including all graphics etc.
Then I can just upload the various PDF-files to the OpenKM repository.

I've already found out how to add a Property Group.
This group I use to add additional information about the document in question, for example the URL.

It's an ok solution which I can easily live with :)
Thanks again for thinking about this though.
I appreciate your help.

Best,
Henrik

Convert URL to PDF seem good idea. I will investigate if there's some library for doing it.
