Edit Office docs inline?

anuvatec — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 23:38:44 GMT

Is this possible? Do I need to check my config?

Yes, but paths are required to be less than 100 characters. That is a limit inside Internet Explorer's default configuration. The web tells how to change this.

In web-client-config-custom.xml you just have to edit this part. Make sure, there is no other <config><client> in the file or move the edit-link-line in there.
   <config>
      <client>
         <!– the type of edit link to use, NOTE: inline editable will always take precedence –>
         <!– can be: http|webdav|cifs –>
         <edit-link-type>webdav</edit-link-type>
      </client>
   </config>

Folks,

I have tried they above and it works with Office 2007, when I click on Edit Online the document opens, I make changes and press Ctrl S and it is saved to the resporitory.

The problem I am haveing is that when I click on Edit Online with Office 2000 that is been used throughout my organisation nothing ever opens and I am stuck at this point.

Can someone tell me is it possible to do this with Office 2000.

Regards,

Gerald

I don't know, but here is a list of points to consider when using Office 2000 with WebDAV:

Thanks,

I just have 1 other question. Where in the Alfresco directory would I find the Java script file for the Online Edit button.

It is /Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/web-client-config-custom.xml
There you have to add the lines I provided in my post above.
After a restart everything should be working.
