The ipaper-module works fine with "normal" DOC-Files and PDF-Files. But by uploading ODT-Files (OpenOffice) oder DOCX-Files, I get the following error-message:

warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found in /home/xn--pd-via-com/htdocs/modules/ipaper/scribd.php on line 249.

The errors mean that Scribd returned something that was not XML (which it should have, according to the API). In your case, it returned "500 Internal Server Error".

I will add a check in a future version to display these errors properly, but anyway what this means for you is that Scribd is not able to handle the document. Have you tried uploading it directly to see if it works? Maybe if you try again later it will work, as Scribd does display a proper "Failed conversion" error normally.

Thanks for your answer. I tried uploading it directly and on scribd.com it works.
So I will wait! Perhaps in future scribd.com will fix this "Internal Server Error" Problem.

Ok, in the meantime you can give yourself the 'edit ipaper parameters' permission and enter the doc ID and access code by yourself there to make your document show. If it still does not work in two days email me a document that does not convert and I will see if it works on my setup.

Does anyone know if there are still errors with ODT and DOCX?

There have also been improvements in error reporting since rc6, so if Scribd returns Error 500, maybe now it will at least not give PHP warnings.
