Read the readme files first. On some cases you need additional configuration or software to make them work.

The new window plugin should work by just extracting it into your OpenGoo installation. It will add an action to the actions panel of the object's view. I have just tested it on linux and windows and it is working fine. You need OpenGoo 1.4+.

Cheers.

New window was the only working.
progressbar is in fact not tested because i didn't installed Perl.

My real problem is with html2pdf.
 I have updated the config.php with
define('HTMLDOC_COMMAND', '/usr/bin/htmldoc');
and installed htmldoc. (i am on linux), but nothing happens and i have no idea why?

Hi,
Which linux distribution are you using?
try deleting the constant definition HTMLDOC_COMMAND, this constant is used to specify another location if the command 'htmldoc' does not work.
At actions panel should appear the icon 'pdf export'.
Does it throws an error when clicking?

cheers

I am running ubuntu 8.10 intrepid.

Sorry and tanks for everything. It works with or without the constant definition in the config file.
I didn't realize it was working because i was awaiting a icon in the list view of the document and not in the action panel.

Maybe i am gonna try to add this icon in the list view.

Again thanks you.
