Alfresco Share integration with google Docs is not working

Hi all,

I found some steps how to integrate Alfresco Share with Google Docs.
The problem is that it isn't working.
Can anyone tell me if i'm missing some steps?

The steps that i did are:
- install Alfresco v3.3 E
- to see the Google Docs items, i had to configure my environment to allow the integration

The steps to configuring my environment are:
The two configuration files that require modification are:
1. Share Properties Files
     /tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml
2. Google Docs Properties
    /tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/googledocs/default/googledocs.properties

Share Properties File, here, you need to:
Ensure that you have the Google Editable Aspect declared.
  <aspect name="gd:googleEditable" />

Look for the Google Docs section of the file and ensure that you have the “enabled” option set to “true”
  <enabled>true</enabled>

That's it!

But still i don't see the Google Docs items when creating a content.

Any help please?

Kind Regards,
Reena

Never touch anything under the WEB-INF folder.

Hi Rogers,

I found something on the forum: http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=26879&p=87691&hilit=google+docs+integration#p8769...

There i see that i missed a step, however when i configure the alfresco-global properties i still
can't see the Google Docs items when creating a content.

What i was missing was this step in alfresco-global properties:
# GoogleDocs configuration
googledocs.googleeditable.enabled=true
googledocs.username=yourname@youraddress.com
googledocs.password=yourgooglepassword

The alfresco-global properties is also under the WEB-INF folder, what to do if i can't touch this?
Is there a cookie problem or something? I tried another browser, but nothing.

Regards,
Reena
