• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Word export problem

Hi,

I saw in this thread http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?threads/microsoft-word-doc.29353/
a way to download a form or a view in a word format by adding ?format=word&layout=template in the url

It works great when we open the document with libreoffice:
upload_2018-4-12_12-28-35.png

But with openoffice there's some problem: bad encoding of characters and the images are not displayed:
upload_2018-4-12_12-32-0.png

With Word it's even worth.

This is a great feature, it seems to be a headers problem, is there a way to have the document correctly opened with Word and openoffice?

Thanks.
 
I don't think the word format is really supported (the thread is from 2012).
As far as I can see it's exporting pure HTML without any <head>...

I just added
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
<body>
manually (notepad++)
This solves the character encoding
 
Thanks troester for your anwer.

In my case even after adding the same header (with notepad++) I still have an encoding problem (with openoffice)
 
We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
