online edit not working / small SP conn problem

[asenden]

Hi,

I hope I dont bother you with my question: I am a alfresco newbie and have installed 4.2 CE a few days ago.

Everything works perfecty fine except the "edit online" function of eg. word documents

When I click on "edit online" next to a docx document I thought the word 2010 application on my local PC should open, but nothing happens at all.

I have changed/added the 2 entries in the windows 7 registry about base authentification, I tried to open it IE as well.

I also can not see any errors in alfresco.log

Sharepoint connector also works when I try to save/open document by adding the sharepoint connector URL in the file name field of word 2010. Although folders that contain subfolders or files are empty

Here my 2 questions:

1) why is the "edit online" feature not working (not even word 2010 opens up) ? am I missing anything ?
2) why do folders that I try to open through the sharepoint connector are sometimes empty

Many thank for your help and suggestions in advance
Albrecht

Hey!

I guess you're having the same problem as me. Haven't tried the possible solution yet, please let us know if you've tried it!

Hi,

thank you so much for your suggestion to upgrade to 4.2d (nightly build). I am happy that I am just testing Alfresco at the moment so I didn't have to go through the backup/restore process.

Online edit works fine now, BUT when I safe the document it is creating 3 versions of the document in Alfresco

For example:

I "online edit" a word document with version 1.3, edit it in the Word 2010 App and save it. When I go back to Alfresco I can see 3 indentically, new versions (1.4 + 1.5 + 1.6). I have definitly only saved the document once.

Any idea ?

Glad that I could help you!
Unfortunately I don't have a good idea for your new problem. Does this happens every time?

Hi,
I followed the same advice to install the 4.2d nightly and I also have the problem of 3 different versions generated by only one "Save".

How about opening a bug in jira?

Hi,
I have alfresco 4.2.c and the Edit online works fine,without saving 3 differents version as you said.so maybe only the new version 4.2.d have this problem

Could everybody please post the exact version of the build they're using?

Go to URL: http://dev.alfresco.com/downloads/nightly/dist/
You may install using installer: alfresco-community-4.2.d-installer-linux-x64.bin
or manually: alfresco-community-4.2.d.zip

If you are installing using installer. the alfresco.war inside the installer is either corrupted or wrong. You will never be able to start your share.
So download both files. Install using installer and later extract alfresco.war file from alfresco-community-4.2.d.zip file and replace it with <alfrescohome>/tomcat/webapps

Try out and let me know if further you need any assistance. I just resently went through all this to make edit online working.

The solution for me was setting to false the "cm:autoVersionOnUpdateProps" in the "cm:versionable" aspect in the ContentModel.xml.
After doing this, Alfresco Share doesn't generate multiple versions anymore.
Here there's the code:

<aspect name="cm:versionable">
        <title>Versionable</title>
        <properties>
           <property name="cm:versionLabel">
              <title>Version Label</title>
              <type>d:text</type>
              <protected>true</protected>
           </property>
           <property name="cm:initialVersion">
              <title>Initial Version</title>
              <type>d:boolean</type>
              <default>false</default>
           </property>
           <property name="cm:autoVersion">
              <title>Auto Version</title>
              <type>d:boolean</type>
              <default>true</default>
           </property>
           <property name="cm:autoVersionOnUpdateProps">
              <title>Auto Version - on update properties only</title>
              <type>d:boolean</type>
              <default>false</default>
           </property>
         </properties>
     </aspect>
