:Hi Ijon! This week we are on an exhibition and just released an alpha version of a Wikipedia DVD. I am pretty sure that as we are together now for some days we will manage it to fill that page. | |||
:I have created a poster to show the process a bit: [[Image:Poster_ZIM_Creation.pdf]]. Thanks for your patience and support. --[[User:Manuel Schneider|Manuel Schneider]] 12:29, 23 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Hi Ijon. The perl script buildZimFileFromDirectory.pl is currently the only way to produce a ZIM file from your Mediawiki dumped HTML files. I can help you to use it, but please tell me what does not work. Regards [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] 09:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
== Including images == | |||
If I have all the files locally, it seems relatively easy to include images in addition to the text. But how do I include images if I'm starting from a Wikimedia project dump? It's obviously possible to do and to automate, because it's done [http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Wikipedia here], but I can't find instructions on how. Is that just automatically handled by the Wikimedia export or something? --[[User:DanielH|DanielH]] ([[User talk:DanielH|talk]]) 07:46, 8 March 2014 (CET) | |||
: I see that you start to see the difficulties of wanting to base the ZIM creation process on the XML tarballa... [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 11:10, 8 March 2014 (CET) | |||
== Difference between zimwriterfs and buildZimFileFromDirectory.pl == | |||
These two files seem to have exactly the same purpose. I notice that zimwriterfs is newer, but other than this and the fact that it's written in C++ instead of perl, what are the major differences? Should I always use zimwriterfs, or might the perl script be better in some cases? --[[User:DanielH|DanielH]] ([[User talk:DanielH|talk]]) 05:36, 9 March 2014 (CET) | |||
: They both have the same purpose, but use zimwriterfs, buildZimFileFromDirectory.pl == is deprecated. [[User:Kelson|Kelson]] ([[User talk:Kelson|talk]]) 10:46, 9 March 2014 (CET) | |||
