• 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.

A plugin-element can modify another element? fulltext - Apache Tika

I am trying to implement an OCR text extraction plugin. I saw the option of the PHP-form plugin where you add a script to do some functionalities but, this is only a temporary and drive base solution to a specific form of a known element name and such.

I want to when you have a file upload element I can extract the content or metadata of it and store in an element on the database table. From my understanding, a plugin element is linked to a specific element.
How would I proceed to handle this problem?

Till now I am using a script using the PHP form plugin that calls apache-tika app and store in a previously created textarea element.

Does it exist in development or a plan to do an OCR/text extraction from file plugin?
 
Nope, no plans to do that. It'd be a lot of work, and you are the only person I can ever recall asking for this feature, so no ROI for us investing that time.

A custom form plugin would be the way to go. In the settings, provide options to select the upload and textarea elements to use. There are plenty of examples of form plugins that require users to select various elements that the form plugin "does stuff" with.

We are in need of some funding.
More details.
