[rahulpatil]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to enable WebODF Preview in Alfresco 4.2c but I've some confusion in configuration.

I've tried following links :

http://code.google.com/p/share-extras/wiki/MediaViewers#Configuration

I'm using web-preview.get.config.xml as same as -> https://gist.github.com/wabson/5057107

As you can see files as below

Only PDF Preview is Working But issue with other all mime-type

Ex.
Couldn't display content due to missing plugin 'WebODF'

Please help me with the same..

Thanks

Now I too have issues with previewing an .odt file. It renders up in PDFJs viewer instead of the WebOdf viewer. Attached here is the screenshot for the same. I have raised an issue on MediaViewers github page - https://github.com/share-extras/media-viewers/issues/34
