[GSOC]Slide Layout Extendibility :Weekly Report #3

[Vishv Brahmbhatt]

Hello Everyone,
In the beginning of the week,I was able to complete the required changes in
XML parser function(for extracting slide layout information).

But,after that I was caught up with the unit-test error(related to
configuration XML file) for rest of the 4 days.It seemed to me as a bug in
the unit-test process,because in-spite of having made proper entry in the
"Package_unittest.mk" and  "layoutlist.xml"  being  added at "unit-test"
file-path,the error came up(with wrongly generated path). I have already
posted my question to mailing-list
Link<http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Unit-Test-Fail-Error-GSOC-Slide-Layout-Extendibility-td4064300.html>
and
I am thankful for the reply from Markus.
And I will soon resolve this error with appropriate guidance and discussion
on mailing-list/ IRC.

As of now ,I have moved ahead with addition of some new layouts to
"layoutlist.xml". I will peak up more speed from now on-wards.

Also for the current status:
+ I pushed one commit with required changes(last week).
+ XML parser works in-spite of unit-test errors.
+ So information from configuration XML file "layoutlist.xml" is
extracted perfectly.

Thanks & Regards,
Vishv Brahmbhatt
