+=importexport=
+
+Importexport is a framework for egroupware to handle imports and exports. 
+The idea behind importexport is to have a common userinterface in all apps regarding 
+import and export stuff AND to have common backends whitch handle the stuff.
+Importexport can nothing without the plugins of the applications.
+
+Attending importeport framework with you application is pretty easy.
+
+You just need to have your plugins in files which start with 
+class.import_<type> or
+class.export_<type>
+in 
+EGW_INCLUDE_ROOT/YourApp/inc/
+
+== definitions ==
+The bases of all imports and exports is the '''definition'''.
+A definition defines all nessesary parameters to perform the desired action.
+Moreover definitions can be stored and thus the same import / export can be redone
+by loading the definition. Definitions are also reachable by the importexport 
+'''command line interface'''.
+
+== export ==
+Starting an export is as easy as just putting a button in your app with: 
+onClick="importexport.uiexport.export_dialog&appname=<appname>&have_selection=<{true|false}>"
+If parameter "have_selection" if true, export askes (javascript) opener.get_selection();to retreave
+a list of identifiers of selected records.
+
+NOTE: javascript function get_selection() is the only function which is not part of an interface yet.
+
+==Discussion of interfaces==
+To make live easy there are several general plugins which can be found

+	 * conversion
+	 * 
+	 * Conversions enable you to change / adapt the content of each _record field for your needs. 
+	 * General syntax is: pattern1 |> replacement1 || ... || patternN |> replacementN
+	 * If the pattern-part of a pair is ommited it will match everything ('^.*$'), which 
+	 * is only usefull for the last pair, as they are worked from left to right.
+	 * Example: 1|>private||public
+	 * This will translate a '1' in the _record field to 'privat' and everything else to 'public'.
+	 * 
+	 * In addintion to the fields assign by the pattern of the reg.exp. 
+	 * you can use all other _record fields, with the syntax |[FIELDNAME].
+	 * Example: 
+	 * .+|>|[Company]: |[NFamily], |[NGiven]|||[NFamily], |[NGiven]
+	 * It is used on the _record field 'Company' and constructs a something like 
+	 * Company: FamilyName, GivenName or FamilyName, GivenName if 'Company' is empty.
+	 * 
+	 * Moreover the helper function of this class can be used using the '@' operator.
+	 * @cat_name2id(Cat1,...,CatN) returns a (','-separated) list with the cat_id's. If a 
+	 * category isn't found, it will be automaticaly added.
+	 *
+	 * Patterns as well as the replacement can be regular expressions (the replacement is done 
+	 * via ereg_replace).
+	 * 
+	 * If, after all replacements, the value starts with an '@' the whole 
+	 * value is eval()'ed, so you may use all php, phpgw plus your own functions. This is quiet 
+	 * powerfull, but circumvents all ACL. Therefor this feature is only availible to 
+	 * Adminstrators.
+	 * 
+	 * Example using regular expressions and '@'-eval(): 
+	 * ||0?([0-9]+)[ .:-]+0?([0-9]*)[ .:-]+0?([0-9]*)[ .:-]+0?([0-9]*)[ .:-]+0?([0-9]*)[ .:-]+0?([0-9]*).*|>@mktime(|#4,|#5,|#6,|#2,|#3,|#1)
+	 * It will read a date of the form '2001-05-20 08:00:00.00000000000000000' (and many more, 
+	 * see the regular expr.). The [ .:-]-separated fields are read and assigned in different 
+	 * order to @mktime(). Please note to use |# insted of a backslash (I couldn't get backslash 
+	 * through all the involved templates and forms.) plus the field-number of the pattern.
