'Edit Online' for Mac

We've finally got "Edit Online" working in Share for Office 2010 users in Windows 7 (using Alfresco 4.0c). Now, we're trying to get this going on the Mac. Based on what I've seen here, it looks like Internet Explorer is the only supported browser for the online edit functionality. However, in a rece

"Edit Online" leverages the SharePoint protocol. If the Mac has Office 2011 installed, the Mac should be able to use any web browser to hit the "Edit Online" UI action provided the SharePoint protocol is enabled and working.

Thanks Jeff! The problem appears to be that in Share, it will only render that link if the browser is IE (someone correct me if I'm wrong about that). In Explorer, it looks like the Edit Online link is there, regardless of browser. I'm sure I can customize Share to force the link to appear, just not sure if I want to do that for all cases.

I can confirm that for Alfresco Enterprise 4.0, Firefox 10.0.2, MS Office 14.1.4, and Mac OS X 10.7.3, Edit Online will show up in Share.

Please how did you get edit online to work, the system on which alfresco 4.0 is installed is using o.s win 7 and office 2007, client system are using win XP and 7, the system with win xp is using office 2007, while the ones with win 7 use mix.

now only the system with xp is able to do online editing,

the system with win 7 and office 2007 when u click online editing, it does nothing

the system witih win 7 and office 2010 will just open the app e.g word, but would not open the doc,

i have not done any tinkering to my alfresco, just a normal installation

what do i do next?

On the Go menu, click Utilities.

Start Terminal.

At the Terminal prompt, paste the following command, and then press ENTER:

defaults -currentHost write com.microsoft.registrationDB hkey_current_user\\hkey_local_machine\\software\\microsoft\\office\\14.0\\common\\internet\\basicauthlevel -int [Authentication]

The placeholder [Authentication] is one of the following values:
0 - Basic authentication disabled
1 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL connections only
2 - Basic authentication enabled for SSL and for non-SSL connections

The following worked for me with Alfresco Enterprise 4.1.3 and Office 2011 14.3.6:

defaults -currentHost write com.microsoft.registrationDB hkey_current_user\\hkey_local_machine\\software\\microsoft\\office\\14.0\\common\\internet\\basicauthlevel -int 2‍
