<DIV><SPAN class=509011617-11042006><FONT size=2>Last week I posted
this:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=509011617-11042006>
<P><FONT size=2>>> I've got a site with a couple hundred ExtFile objects.
I now need to </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>>> index the content of the various files (word, pdf,
excel, ppt).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>>> I see that ExtFile doesn't have a PrincipiaSearchSource
method so I </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>>> created one. It returns self.index_html(). When I go
back into my </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>>> catalog and reindex my PrincipiaSearchSource index (a
textindexng </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>>> index), clicking the "Reindex" button opens the ExtFile
I'm trying to </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>>> index. Is there something more to the process of trying
to index </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>>> ExtFiles with TextIndexNG. I've googled around and
tried a few things </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>>> but either they don't work or I get the same results
I've just </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>>> described. Any ideas?</FONT></P>
<P><SPAN class=509011617-11042006><FONT size=2>I've since deleted the
PrincipiaSearchSource method from the ExtFile.py file. If my catalog has no
TextIndexNG indexes, I can use the Find Objects tab to find and catalog ExtFile
objects. If I add a TextIndexNG index named "PrincipiaSearchSource" and click
either the "Find and Catalog" button under the "Find Objects" tab or the "Update
Catalog" button under the "Advanced" tab, they both return the rendered ExtFile
(a pdf file in this case) to the browser. I'm not clear as to what is causing
this. I don't think it's ExtFile since it doesn't even have a
PrincipiaSearchSource method at this point. I haven't tried upgrading to ExtFile
1.5 from the svn trunk yet but I really don't think that's the problem. I'm
going to try that next (upgrading to ExtFile 1.5). Does anyone have any ideas
about what would cause the ExtFile to launch instead of just get
catalogged?</FONT></SPAN></P>
