Last post by AdmFubar - September 15, 2024, 07:46:33 PM

Hello everyone! I have use Scribus on Ubuntu successfully for self publishing books, notebooks and calendars. I am looking to create diaries for this 2025, 1 page per day, any tutorial or guidance? 🤔 Thank you

We nee d a bit of clarification, are you creating a blank diary as a print version to be filled in. Or are you thinking about using scribus  to write  a diary "on the fly"?

That worked. Thanks.

I don't know anything for sure, but my first guess is that maybe you need a newer Qt library? (At least the Q suggests to me it is a Qt issue, and the error message indicates a declaration i missing.)

(I have never compiler Scribus myself, I just thought that since nobody else has answered I'd try to give you some input.)

I personally do not think Scribus is the best tool for such a project (even though it can probably be done with the Scribus Generator). It would probably be a lot easier to do in for example Libre Office.

I would probably have done it on my work PC (which has MS Office) using a combination of Excel (for the data, like dates, months, days, weekdays etc) and Word (using mail merge with the data from the Excel file). But that is just because since I use MS Office every day at work, this is what I know best.

You should look into 'Scribus Generator', it is like a mailmerge script. There used to be some tutorials on youtube, been awhile since I looked at them.

Cheers!

For the past couple days I've been unable to compile the trunk code from svn:

hi kees

there must be some direct formatting in your file which overrides the settings from the paragraph style.
i opened the file, selected the strange paragraph on page five and clicked on 'remove direct paragraph formatting' in the 'text properties'. then the font size changed.

Took a look at the file. Is there a reason that there is 60+ character styles defined?
