When I tested WIKI publisher trial version, I have some problems here need your help:
(1) The numerb of documents to be exported is limited?
In the wiki library where I did the testing, there are around 500 items. However, when I click on " expor to PDF" in the ribbon aeara, everytime only about 22 items shown in the selectable options. If choose to select all " >>", then after the page post back, in the right side, the wrong file names are shown in the list box. I have done the test with some smaller WIKI library with only about 100 items, the same problem. Only when I test it with awiki lbrary of only 15 items, then it works , but when he item are sorted in a different way after selection ( shown in list box on the irght side)
(2) Very Bad performance when trying to export the wiki page which contains a lot of links to other pages in the library.
In the wiki library , there is one page contains a lot of links ( about 150 links) to the other pages in the library. When I tried to expor that page, the whole web application is immediately slowing down and after a long time waiting I got time out error. In a worse case, the CPU keeps runnig at 100% and the whole website doesn't work . The web site has been running for more than a year and had never got such performance problem. The harddisk and internal memory is quite enough.
Are the problems above only happens with the trial version? Now I am really wondering how the normal production version is going to work now.
I am experiencing the exact same issue. I just installed the 30 day trial on our test box and we have a library with 78 wiki's in it which I want to export using the feature to export multiple wiki's to 1 PDF document. When I get to the page to select the available wiki pages only 23 of my 78 wiki's show up. If I select the option to send all wiki's over it randomly selects 23 wiki titles to show in the selection box making it impossible for me to order the wiki's in the PDF document.
Also, if I just move forward after using the select all option the PDF never acutally generates. It hangs the webpage for about 15 minutes before finally just stopping and putting the export button back at the bottom of the page.
I did a test and created a new library of 20 wiki's and exported that just fine to a single PDF document. So I know everything is installed correctly and the functionality is working.
It appears there are limitations to the number of wiki's to export. Is this true? Has anyone been able to export a large amount of wiki's to a single PDF? In my production environment we have a set of 400 that I need to export to one PDF document.
Thanks!
I found a tempary work around for the first problem, although not that satisfying but at least it can work on a lot more documents now ( see more details below) . But the second problem is not fixed. So I have to skip the page which contains a huge references and links to the other pages . still my question is: Is it the limit of trial version only ? Can those two problems be fixed in the production version?
My work around is actually kind of dirty - I modified the bamboo controls:
(1) Under \14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\Bamboo.SPWiki, backup the original document WikiExportMultiPage.aspx
(2) look for " <div id='divAvailable' ......" There is a listbox control inside , remove the height attributes both in div and lisbox. Do the same for the " <div id=divSelectedCandidate' ..." part. so after change it should look like :
<div id='divAvailable' style="width:225px;height:200px;overflow:scroll" > <asp:ListBox id="lstAvailable" Width="350" Height="300" runat="server" SelectionMode="Multiple" /> </div>
<div id='divSelectedCandidate' style="width:350px;overflow:scroll" > <asp:ListBox ID="lstSelectedCandidate" Width="320" Rows="10" runat="server" SelectionMode="Multiple"/> </div>
so sorry for my copy-paste error in my last post:
After the change it should be like :
<div id='divAvailable' style="width:350px; overflow:scroll" > <asp:ListBox id="lstAvailable" Width="320" Rows="10" runat="server" SelectionMode="Multiple" /> </div>
I hope Bamboo can response me as soon as possible. Otherwise, we have to give up the plan of using this prodction.
