Pages sorted reversed alphabetical, but not by sequence in epub file

[stko]

Hello tried out epub yesterday (for the first time), but for some reasons the page sequence in the output is not as given in the epub page, it is sorted by the reversed alphabetical sort order of the page names instead. Is there something I do wrong?

a configuration like <epub> b_page z_page d_page a_page </epub>

comes out as z_page d_page b_page a_page

any idea?

I have no idea why this is happening and have never seen it before. Here is the markup for an ebook which I create on a regular basis:

[[:introduction|Introduction]]
[[:configuration|Configuration]]
[[:features|Features]]
[[:media|Media Links Images]] 
[[:file_browser_install|Installing File Browser]]
[[:v06|Important Upgrades in Version 6]]
[[:faq|Miscellaneous Solutions]]
[[:internal_to_external|Convert Internal to External Link]]

[[:fckglite_lang_interface|fckgLite UI Language file]]
[[:lang_template|Javascript Language Additons ]]
[[:dailies|Dailies]]
[[:switch|Editor Switching]]

This is the result: http://www.mturner.org/fckgLite/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=fckglite.epub I suppose I would need to know more about your system and what your steps are.

Hello Myron thanks for the quick response and don't be surprised about the time, when I'm writing this, I'm just located in China :-)

The epub configuration page I'm using you can find here http://www.oobd.org/doku.php?id=doc:epub&do=edit&rev=0

I also tried just now to do a re-creation of the epub to show the log file, but the process just does nothing when I press the start button, but that could have the following reason: The wiki runs on a hosted webspace which often comes back with "503: Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later."

That might also a potential root cause, that the server kills any too long running client processes. The first translation took over 60 secs, and I really can't say if not some translation processes have been killed during that. There was only one warning at the end of the log file that a temporary directory couldn't be deleted.

As soon as the server allows me again to let the translation run, I'll support an actual log.

many thanks for your help!

regards Steffen

I just updated the plugin so that now the Start button is (or should) always be active.

I see you are using fckgLite. For best results you should switch over to the Dokuwiki native editor when setting up your epub page.

[stko]

Sorry for the late answer, but it took me two days (with breaks..) to understand that I really have to change something, not just to re-save a page to start the conversion (as the start-button was, after your plugin update, always visible but without doing something :-)

So finally I now got the following log:

And when finally looking into the finished epub, the result is as before. The pages are sorted in reversed alphabetical order.

I try to copy and paste a screenshot in here: (hopefully it works?)

[stko]

the first sceenshot failed, trial Nr.2:

[turnermm]

You did not mention that you were using the namespace feature. I'll have to take a look at that.

[turnermm]

Pages now sorted a-z by default, otherwise left unsorted. This update might also solve your Start Button issue, which might have to do with your server.

[stko]

Hello Myron good news, everything is working now (and its working fine, the results are excellent -many thanks for your tool!)

So what happened:

At the beginning I created the epub config page inside a sub- namespace (e.g. mynamespace:epub). I've thought, that I can use relative page names also inside such a sub- namespace, so I referenced to my page (mynamespace:page) inside the epub config just relative like

[[page|My Page]]

That failed, because I found in the epub log file that a : is been added to each page name, so "page" became ":page", which does not exist, so the conversion failed.

Then I made the second fault by misunderstanding the namespace option. I added "namespace :mynamespace:*" to the epub config, but without realising, that this disables the list of given pages, using the whole namespace and mainly switches from the given page list to the sorted directory list.

Finally, after understanding this, I removed the namespace option again and made all my page references absolute by adding the namespace, so

[[page|My Page]]

became

[[:mynamespace:page|My Page]]

and now it's working fine.

So in fact I stumbled over the fact, that epub makes absolute pages out of relative ones by adding a ":". That caused that unexpected behaviour, as this is different as what Dokuwiki itself does.

But now it works - many thanks!

regards Steffen

[turnermm]

Yes, you are correct. It doesn't take relative namespaces into consideration. I'll have to look at that to see if I can fix it.

I don't understand this however: "Then I made the second fault by misunderstanding the namespace option. I added "namespace :mynamespace:*" to the epub config, but without realising, that this disables the list of given pages, using the whole namespace and mainly switches from the given page list to the sorted directory list." Do you mean that you added a namespace after the first entry? Could you explain further? Thanks.

[stko]

No, I did not add a namespace option after the first entry, I added it before. I had understood the meaning of the namespace option wrong because I've thought, that would make my relative page names valid (by declaring through the namespace, where these pages can be found)

And virtually that had the wanted effect: The pages, which I had listed, now appeared in the output, but not any more in the sequence I had listed them - but that was, as I now have understood, because the namespace option just took all pages of that namespace and ignored my own list behind.

So, simply said, I misunderstood the function of the namespace option... ;-)

[turnermm]

I think this is all fixed now so am closing.
