I think that's not a problem of MS Office. Alfresco doesn't show the links to do online editing. The action "edit online" is missing.

Why?

To answer your question: I use MS Office 2010. Moreover I forgot to mention that I already changed the registry keys. But I feel confident that it is not related to the missing action at the Alfresco UI.

If you installed Sharepoint protocol support properly, you should be able to see the "Edit Online" link.

Also, do refer these similar posts. Hope, they may help you :

Thanks for your reply. I already found the mentioned posts, but they are not really related to my problem.

First link: the Windows Sharepoint Services is installed on the client. But I the action "edit online" isn't shown.

I am having similar prolem with Alfresco 5.0.a. When I go for online editing, It throws few Errors which I guess meant to be for Enterprize edition.

12:03:25,071 ERROR [org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.TransformerConfigDynamicTransformers] [http-apr-8080-exec-8] Cannot create dynamic transformer transformer.complex.JodConverter.Image as sub transformers could not be found or created ("JodConverter.2Pdf|pdf|complex.PDF.Image").

But actually when I click the online edit button, dialog box appears with message

"Convertor failed to save the file".

I don't get this, as I can see preview, which means my libraoffice is configured correctly.

please let me know if anyone found solution?

Hi
We've also got problems with edit on line and are receiving the following. Any ideas on how to solve?

The file 'test .doc' could not be opened for online editing. One of the following plugins required to be installed in your browser.
For Windows: Microsoft Office 2010
For Mac OS X: SharePoint Browser Plug-in

Hi All

I have edit online working on Alfresco-5.0.a

I have the following in alfresco-global.properties

# Sharepoint protocol

#vti.server.port=7070
#vti.server.external.host=wm-vms-alf-01.fq.dn
#vti.server.external.port=${vti.server.port}

vti.server.port=7070
vti.server.protocol=https
vti.server.ssl.keystore=/appserver/alfresco-5.0.a/alf_data/keystore/ssl.keystore
vti.server.ssl.password=kT9X6oe68t
vti.server.url.path.prefix=/alfresco
vti.server.external.host=wm-vms-alf-01.fq.dn
vti.server.external.port=7070
vti.server.external.protocol=https
vti.server.external.contextPath=/alfresco

On a dev machine.

When selecting edit online, I get prompted with the usual certificate error, as I'm just using the default cert from the installation. edit online works perfectly fine when using both Firefox, and IE, unfortunately not when using chrome, just get the error could not start ms office.

So, if anybody knows how to get chrome behaving as well, please let me know 🙂

I've worked out the chrome conuumdrum my self …

In chrome,

    Goto settings
    Advanced settings
    Content settings ( Under Privacy heading)
    Plug Ins
        Manage Exceptions
        Add [*.]wm-vms-alf-01.fq.dn:8080 and set to allow

Obviously, the hostname will require setting to your host accordingly

Hi

If you have managed to get edit online working in IE, you are pretty closeto getting chrome to work. after that just carry out the above for chrome. I'm not a heavy user of chrome, or windows for that matter, I did end up runnig chrome as an administrator I think, the first time I noticed the ability to manage plugins.

Ahh, I missed a bit, Content settings is under the Privacy heading, even if Run Automatically is selected, it didn't work, until I added the site as an exception.

Cheers

Tony

Hi All

I missed one step, from what I listed above

Create, or edit, {ALFRESCO_HOME}/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/vti-custom-context.xml

See attached :- Just rename it from vti-custom-context.txt to vti-custom-context.xml

Hi i was looking for an other problem but I saw the issue "missing online edit button"

I just had this problem today and I solved it by adding the missing amp "alfresco-aos-module-1.1.amp" If you can preview but not edit online it's this one you need, and as it's an official amp from alfresco you can download it on the nexus wich mean all you have to do is add the dependencie in the repo pom.xml like this


    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.alfresco.aos-module</groupId>
      <artifactId>alfresco-aos-module</artifactId>
      <version>1.1</version>
      <type>amp</type>
    </dependency>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

be carefull to don't put this one in "depedency management"
