Hi All,
I am trying to design an online newspaper site with Openpublish.
The firm need to send the online edition (after some editing) to the press for the printed version.
The press is using Quark and Indesign.
How can I accomplish this?
Is there a way to connect Openpublish to Quark and Indesign so the press can easily print the online newspaper after minor edits.
Thanks in advance

Yes it can. Deke McClelland
Yes it can. Deke McClelland has a book called "Adobe InDesign CS4" that explains how to import XML into InDesign. In Drupal the XML needs to be configured and in InDesign the Character and Paragraph styles need to be mapped to tags. More or less you create an InDesign document, tag it with XML markup tags by highlighting each piece, and then map those tags to the style sheets.
I'm working on managing events with google calendar and export them via ical into Drupal and from Drupal via XML into InDesign.

We (www.previon.ch) are actually looking into using openpublish as a basestart for our projects. We have some connectors for Woodwing, Quark and stuff like that (sorry, I'm more into the drupal side), just get in touch with somebody there.
Hi, I have the same question
Hi,
I have the same question that Rapsli. I use Onepublish and try to do web to print, connecting Onepublish to Indesign. Is Adamsohn's answer, who speaks about Drupal, also applicable to Onepublish?
Thanks
Yes, you can export XML using
Yes, you can export XML using the the Views Bonus Pack module http://drupal.org/project/views_bonus . Since you can import XML into indesign and create tags (mapped to the XML tags) and styles for paragraphs and characters you can create layouts.
Here is what the XML looks like. So if someone know what to do in InDesign they might be able to work with it.

<teaser>To my knowledge: Americans can travel to Cuba legally if you are a Cuban American, politician, and journalist or if you have a research project regarding Cuba. [“Getting boating in Cuba back to the past” ] Others including students, religious groups, and humanitarians can apply for a license from the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Cuban Americans have been given the right to travel to Cuba and spent I believe it is $180.00 a day, each time they go, BUT we have an Embargo?</teaser>

Hi Adamsohn, Thank you for
Hi Adamsohn,
Thank you for the answer. Can you confirm me that I can use your method (Views Bonus Pack) with Openpublish that I use to design my online newspaper?
Thanks in advance
Well, I can confirm that XML
Well, I can confirm that XML listed above comes out of OpenPublish because it did. You will have to give it someone who knows how to use Indesign and ask them if they can do anything with it. My guess is yes. I have gone through the tutorials in Deke McClelland's book on InDesign but have not actually used the Drupal created XML to do it. http://tim.oreilly.com/pub/au/1367

Looking at a problem from different perspective
That would be one publishing system that will do publish to different channel's:
1) website;
2) print;
3) iPad & Android based tablet;
and so force.
There are available solutions on the market already (based on InDesign Woodwing platform and some more) as well as coming soon Adobe's and Quark's own platforms.
As from my understanding this would be the most productive way of publishing.
If you think only of two channels, both Adobe's InDesign and Quark's Express publishing products will create PDFs, that could be saved as HTML for website.
Thanks,
Gennady

Indesign import into Drupal
I've done a lot of work with magazines that publish print-first, so that every week they need to push the issue content from InDesign (or Quark) into Drupal. I have never (and should) published my solution, but I do have a system using Mike Ryan's Migrate module with a custom migration and file class, so that the Indesign or Quark xtags exports appear in Drupal as pending migration items. If there's interest I can take a crack at modularizing and publishing it.
ID Import
I would be very interested in this. I presume this would work into standard Drupal (7)? Despite a number of attempts I haven't been confident enough to take the plunge with Open Publish itself.
There is no OpenPublish
There is no OpenPublish dependency. The only module dependency is for the Migrate module. It also requires Perl 5.16 or later, for proper handling of text encodings.
