I have a new error that I hope someone can help me with? I'm not exactly sure what it means?

"# ERROR: .epub/content.opf(12): attribute "file-as" from namespace "http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" not allowed at this point; ignored

# .epub/content.opf(14): date value '2010-09-01 00:00:00-04:00' is not valid, YYYY[-MM[-DD]] expected "

You have to add the date in the OPF file:

<metadata>

<dc:language>en</dc:language>
<dc:date>2010</dc:date>

</metadata>

I know there are four lines there but the first and last lines are only to show you where:

pholy · 08-30-2010, 10:08 PM

As the error shows you, only the DATE is allowed, at least the year, optionally the month and day. I've made that mistake at least a couple of times.

saytionne · 08-31-2010, 08:18 AM

OKAY! I am even closer now guys! The help worked great! So simple.

But, now my error from ThreePress is:

ERROR: SevenShifts.epub: OPF file content.opf is missing

BUT the content.opf IS THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jellby · 08-31-2010, 08:39 AM

The errors don't match the OPF fragment you have shown. There is no "file-as" and the date looks OK. Unzip the .epub you are trying to validate and check the content.opf file is what you expected...

saytionne · 08-31-2010, 09:22 AM

This is what is confusing to me!

I have the file there, I don't know what the "file-as" should be.

I fixed the other issues, rezipped and got the error message.

"# ERROR: .epub/content.opf(12): attribute "file-as" from namespace "http://www.idpf.org/2007/opf" not allowed at this point; ignored

I'm just not sure why its saying idpf.org/2007/opf is not allowed when on many websites (lulu, etc) I have used the sample structure for the ebook and built from there. I haven't changed anything that was stationary on the opf other than how the date is listed since it was causing an issue.

Could you please specify or refer me to a working opf file? This is just so confusing, since I have the opf file there? And there are NO discrepancies... well, apparently there is.

Toxaris · 08-31-2010, 09:51 AM

Can you post your opf file? Or at least the first 20 lines or so?

Jellby · 08-31-2010, 10:19 AM

This OPF file works fine, if it helps.

file-as is an option for the author entry, as in:

Code:

<dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="MacDonald, George">George MacDonald</dc:creator>

That's taken from a book I made. I'm guessing the file-as you have is part of a meta entry where it's not allowed, or is not preceded by "opf:" as mine is above.

Hi Jellyby! I am so appreciative for your help!

I think it may be a 'user malfunction.' I'm beyond frustrated and almost want to give up, what with being so close and not understanding what the issue could be.

Nonetheless, I tried building my content.opf based on yours and received the following message:

Quote:

ERROR: SevenShifts.epub: OPF file content.opf is missing

The ODD thing is that I have the content.opf inside of the OEBPS folder, so it IS there?

Toxaris, hi! Thanks for replying.

Here is my opf file...

Everything is fine, except for the metadata area, (I'm guessing).

Let me know what I can do, if you see what the issue is?

Thanks again Toxaris!

There's no opf:file-as attribute on line 12.
Exactly what issue are you having?

Toxaris · 09-02-2010, 03:34 AM

Don't see anything wrong at the first glance. Hmm, strange. Let me ponder for a while.

Jellby · 09-02-2010, 06:33 AM

What is the content of the "META-INF/container.xml" file? That's where the location of the OPF file is stated, it might be that the validator is using a different OPF file from what you think... Also, if you can, post a complete .epub file that shows the problem, you can just remove all copyrighted material from the text files or replace it with "lorem ipsum".
