Convert Europass CV in XML to HTML

[KAD]

Is there a way to convert an Europass CV in XML version 3 to a HTML file?

[Europass Interoperability]

No, unfortunately, currently it is not possible to easily convert a Europass XML v3.0 to HTML. We are planning to provide this functionality at some point in the future, but it's not in our immediate plans.

Would it be possible to briefly describe your use case?

This in a way also affects me.

I'm writing (actually upgrading) Europass plugin for Mahara e-portfolio service/solution.

My use case would be that the users of Mahara e-portfolio service would be able to show their Europass CV or LP as a page inside Mahara e-portfolio system.
Are there any plans to build this functionality? Would the old XSL files work (V2.0)?

Kind regards,
Gregor

Hi Gregor,

It's in our intention to provide this functionality, but unfortunately I cannot give you a specific date. Chances are that it's not going to be implemented in 2014, most likely in 2015. (there's a bunch of other projects in the pipeline which currently occupy our development bandwidth)

Hope you're not disappointed :)

Sorry for my very bad english.

I started a project to convert a CV in HTML, it is not currently usable but it is a starting point...

The project consists of 3 parts:

- Simple wrapper around the API.

- HTML converter
There is plenty of things to do: multi-language, create HTML templates, CSS themes, make it more flexible...

- WebSite (far future)
Should allow users to convert their CV online... I only tested the JSON CV provides as a demo by EuroPass.
Only convert JSON but wrapper for API can convert XML to JSON

For now must pass the URL of the CV directly:

http://cv2html.aws.af.cm/api?cv={remplace-by-url-of-your-cv.json}

Ex:
http://cv2html.aws.af.cm/api?cv=http://interop.europass.cedefop.europa.eu/data-model/json-resources/v3.1.2/examples/europass-cv-example-v3.1.2.json

Site TEST!!!!
http://cv2html.aws.af.cm

Hi Fabrice,

This looks awesome, thanks for sharing!

Are you also planning to implement a theme, which would be closer to the original Europass look & feel? (eurocv.eu does something similar, see for example http://reinis.eurocv.eu/).

Hi,

No plan at all ;( it's not really a project just a test... But yes the main goal is to have some theme in the future... I try to make one closer to the original...

Hi Gregor,

I would kindly like to ask what is the status with the upgrade of the Europass plugin for Mahara e-portfolio service / solution.

I'm asking this on the occasion of a feedback we received from a user of the site ( http://vpnz.acs.si/portfolijo/ ), who stumbled upon a problem when exporting his CV to Europass PDF as he was using the old Europass Web Services (SOAP v2) which have ceased to be officially supported in June 2014.

I don't know if my previous message was sent (I can't seem to find it)? So here is my answer again:

Currently the Mahara plugin is half-updated to allow this workflow:
1. Mahara plugin generates the old XML v2 file
2. This is sent to webservice and converted to XML v3
3. XML v3 is sent to appropriate webservice to get either PDF, DOC or ODT

As a part of another project the full update of the plugin (which will natively support XML v3) is planed by the end of December 2014.

HTH, Gregor

Hi again,

(didn't receive any other message, only this one)

Many thanks for keeping us up to date with the Mahara status. 

One more question: do you happen to know what's the current user base of the Europass Mahara plugin? (i.e. very roughly, how many Mahara installations use this plugin actively)

As far as I can understand, older plugin versions use the Europass SOAP web services, which were supposed to be phased out this summer. However, due to Mahara as well as 3rd party systems which still rely on the SOAP API, do not actually allow us to shut it down completely, so we keep running it in a "passive" mode. Having this kind of information can help us better formulate our plans.

As a sidenote, when sending an XML (or JSON) document to the REST API, you can fill-in the <Generator> element with something like "Mahara Europass Plugin" (i.e. <Generator>Mahara Europass Plugin</Generator>) instead of the default "EWA" value used in the examples. This way, we can keep track of who's using our services.

Thanks again,

Dimitris Zavaliadis

Dimitris hi.

1. I actually have no idea, since there is no tracking mechanism on how many downloads/installations of plugin are there. I can however ask a question on Mahara community forums...
2. Actuall in my plugin I'm already using the <Generator> tag :)

Kind regards, Gregor

Ok, thanks!

1. It would be great if we could gather some info from the community forums

2. Couldn't find any "Mahara" references in our DB. I guess it's too early for the new plugin?

Regards,

Dimitris

DImitris hi.

I've posted new topic related to this at Mahara formus. It can be accessed here: https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=6603

Kind regards, Gregor
