Hey All,
So, working on the printed program for SCALE every year is one of the most challenging tasks for the graphics/design team. If there is someone who is proficient in python and willing to learn a specific application's API, you could probably save us days of work (especially if changes happen close to the expo).
Basically, I need a way to pseudo-automate populating the daily schedules for SCALE within Scribus. I spoke with a couple developers for the application and was pointed to this repository: https://gitorious.org/schedule-csv2scribus-rmll/schedule-csv2scribus-rmll?p=... ... which has the relevant files to generate pages within Scribus from CSV files.
Anyone interested, willing to do some digging, and want to talk more about it? It would be greatly appreciated if I could get a hand in this area.
Cheers, Josh
It's not obvious what you are asking for. Presumably one takes their software, feed it a CSV file, and get a SLA file out of it. Are you looking for help generating the CSV file, or modify their software to tweak the SLA output to fit your requirements?

Josh was hoping someone could take a stab at pushing the SCALE presentation list into this code, and seeing what comes out the other side. We're trying to see if this might reduce the level of effort on his end for generating the schedule.

Lei,
I'm hoping to have the ability to easily get data into Scribus documents. The best summary I can give is the biggest help would be if someone could dig in to the python and see that they understand it to help create our own custom scripts/tools.
What's available appears to do something akin to our listing of talks & descriptions. This section of the program requires a whole bunch of manually applying styles (thankfully usually a once over, however time consuming process). If I can get text from a csv, either into pre-styled elements in a Scribus doc (or I don't know, perhaps the API allows setting that in the script) it would save a massive amount of time. Ideally, a modified version which would allow populating a table (for the visual grid schedule) would likely be the biggest help.
As an offshoot thought, I'm also hoping to be able to use data importing to speed up generating the signs as well.
Cheers, Josh

Is your goal to generate the schedule grid? or the abstract listings? or both?

Ilan,
Both. What exists looks like it generates what's akin to our abstract listing. However, for the grid, I'm not sure if anyone has the ability to dig into it. The problem is that it's the grid which is more complicated and time consuming for me.

If you can take a few talk entries from our schedule and manually create a Scribus document out of it, I can try to write a script to do the same. The existing scripts you referred to are not directly useful since they have many values hard coded for their conference.

Lei,
I'm hoping to have the ability to easily get data into Scribus documents. The best summary I can give is the biggest help would be if someone could dig in to the python and see that they understand it to help create our own custom scripts/tools.
What's available appears to do something akin to our listing of talks & descriptions. This section of the program requires a whole bunch of manually applying styles (thankfully usually a once over, however time consuming process). If I can get text from a csv, either into pre-styled elements in a Scribus doc (or I don't know, perhaps the API allows setting that in the script) it would save a massive amount of time. Ideally, a modified version which would allow populating a table (for the visual grid schedule) would likely be the biggest help.
As an offshoot thought, I'm also hoping to be able to use data importing to speed up generating the signs as well.
Cheers, Josh

I'll try that out, but please remember the danger of using trunk. The version of scribus-trunk I install today may be able to read your file, but what it saves may not be readable by the version of scribus-trunk you installed last week. When you run into this problem and upgrade tomorrow, that version of scribus-trunk may create files that my install from today cannot read, and so on.

We've found over the last few years that the stable releases have odd bugs in them that make our life difficult at print time. The answer from devs there has always to use trunk instead.

Yet the trunk releases keep warning users it is for testing purposes only...

We've found over the last few years that the stable releases have odd bugs in them that make our life difficult at print time. The answer from devs there has always to use trunk instead.

I'll try that out, but please remember the danger of using trunk. The version of scribus-trunk I install today may be able to read your file, but what it saves may not be readable by the version of scribus-trunk you installed last week. When you run into this problem and upgrade tomorrow, that version of scribus-trunk may create files that my install from today cannot read, and so on.

Lei,
Yikes... not possible. They literally have one option in their Save As dialog (document). What platform/OS are you on? If we can't get you on a more recent build I can recreate the doc with an older version of Scribus.

Josh,
Any chance your version of Scribus can save a file that is readable by Scribus 1.4.x?

Josh,
Try this out: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B3YQ0JVgRArsbTNlQ2VsMVJsTlU?usp=shar...
In Scribus: 1) Select a single text frame. 2) In the menu, choose Script>Execute Script, and run scale-text-insert.py. 3) My script will ask for a data file, choose data.txt. 4) Wait for the script to do its thing and fill the selected text frame with stylized input from data.txt.
I didn't actually try step 2, but it should work. Instead, I had the Python script in the Scribus scripts folder.
Hey Lei,
Thanks for working on this. I gave it a shot and it is not adding stylized text, it's text with "No Style" when looking at it in the Story Editor.
Cheers, Josh

Hey Lei,
I spent more time banging on it and I can get it to work in the 1.5.2 series which the 1.5.3 series can open. It looks like the 1.5.2 series will be where I do the bulk of my work for the program. Thank you very much!
