Question

I'm building a proof of concept site on a laptop and the functionality of the site really needs the TWikiDrawPlugin.

I down loaded the zip, checked the permissions, ran the install script, and enabled the plugin by using configure.

Installed JRE 1.5.0_06 and Updated FireFox 1.5.0.1

I attach a .gif file, insert the DRAWING command.

When I click on the image to edit it. The Applet launches, (CH.ifa.draw.twiki.TWikiDraw started) however nothing is inside the applet. At the bottom of the Applet “Error reading file java.io.FileNotFoundException:

In the Apache error_log: [Mon Apr 17 16:09:42 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist

When I go to the TWikiDrawPlugin page the “Example” and the “Empty” work fine.

Please help.

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Hmmm, do you mean that there is no image to work on in the applet, or that there are no buttons to click in the applet?

Normally you shouldn't upload anything to the topic, before entering the DRAWING variable - if you want a "template" drawing to start from, you could upload the .draw file instead, but make sure it's named exactly (incl case) like the DRAWING entry you will be writing afterwards.

But I'm in doubt on your usecase, please elaborate.

I attached a screenshot of the Applet, There is no image to work with, all the buttons are there, etc.

This is not a topic, but a WebHome. I'd like to use the image as a map to the static topic areas that are planned for document management.

Perhaps, I'm confused. Doesn't the TWikiDrawPlugin convert the .gif to a .draw? The .gif is elaborate and I don't think a re-drawn "template" would meet our needs.

Sorry, would be cool if the TWikiDrawPlugin worked that way. But alas, it's the other way around - the .draw file is the "orignal" (it's a simple text file descriping the structure), and the gif file is the generated image saved when drawing is done.

yes, you draw with the plugin, not import drawings

Ah.. Thanks so much. Atleast I'm not losing my mind --yet.

Would you happen to know of a decent .gif to .draw converter? or would it be better just to get Mapedit?

-- ThomasVines - 18 Apr 2006

Converting a .gif to a .draw is a not such a trivial bitmap to vector conversion problem [1] [2].

I really appreciate your help in understanding what the problem was (e.g. no .draw files). I’m using MapEdit http://www.boutell.com/mapedit/ for the Image Map and the functionality we were looking for. Thanks Again!

I get the error message: requires a Java 1.1 enabled browser. I updated my rpms with java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin. This turns out to be : java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-43.1.8.2.fc13.src.rpm. When I check my java version via the web page http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml, it says that I'm running Version: Java 6 Update 18 Operating System: Linux 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.x86_64 Architecture: amd64.

I removed from my system the 1.6.0_18 jre and jdk after installing the _22 jdk & jre releases. Maybe the problem is the java version on the server! It's running java 1.4.2.

It the java version error regarding the version on the server or on my client?

-- SteveKelem - 2010-11-10

With TWiki Draw, everything happens in the browser as a Java applet, e.g. it is the Java version accessible by your browser.
