Edit Online button doesn't work (Sharepoint integration)

Hello Community!

I installed the Sharepoint integration module and it works so far. What's not working is the "Edit Online"-button. After clicking the button nothing happens. Just to make it clear: I'm talking about the button, which is accessable from Alfresco Share, if you're looking at the document from there.

It found this in the official documentation (Alfresco Documentation > Installing > Installing and configuring Microsoft Office SharePoint Protocol Support):
<blockquote>It is important to set the vti.server.external.host and vti.server.external.port properties in the alfresco-global.properties file to the externally resolvable host and port name that SharePoint clients will communicate with. These properties default to the host machine's local name and port 7070, respectively. These values are used by Share to generate the Edit Online link, which opens the document using the SharePoint module.</blockquote>

Here is the description of the named properties from the documentation (Alfresco Documentation > Installing > Installing and configuring Microsoft Office SharePoint Protocol Support)
<blockquote>vti.server.port
This property configures the port on which the SharePoint server listens. This is the port for the vti embedded server. The default port number is 7070. Use this port in File Open/Save windows and for Document Workspace creation.

vti.server.external.host=${localname}vti.server.external.port=${vti.server.port}
These values are used by Share to generate the Edit Online link, which opens the document using the SharePoint module. These parameters are used by vti-server.get web script. Share uses this script to determine vti host and port.</blockquote>

SO I guess I definetly have to make some changes to [font=mono]alfresco-global.properties[/font] but I'm not sure what I have to put in there exactly. I guess I just need a small hint Smiley Wink

My system:
<li>Ubuntu (Server) 12.04 - 64bit
<li>Alfresco Community 4.2.c-1

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I think there is a bug in 4.2.c for edit online. https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-17221
Fixed in rev 44738
Try the nightly from http://dev.alfresco.com/downloads/nightly/dist/
There are some other fixes for Sharepoint module as well.

does this bug affect installations that don't use SharePoint?

I don't have SharePoint configured!
Whenever I press the "Edit Online" document actions link nothing happens.
I'm using the latest community version of Alfresco.

thanks

Hello,

It doesn't matter if you have it configured specifically - if you have installed it, you get the button. And it seems like you've installed SharePoint, since the code fragment that provides the basis for the button otherwise would not be contained in the system.
