Webdav url results in a read-only access

[edazcalf]

Hello.
I have a web application that uses Alfresco ECM as content repository. I need to provide the users an "edit" link for each document they see in the browser. I build this link like this…

http://alfrescoserver:8080/alfresco/webdav/User%20Homes/myAlfrescoUser/mydocument.docx

The problem is that the document always opens in readonly mode! This does not happen if I open the document directly from Windows Explorer/My Network Places, it only happens using the webdav url.

I found a post in this forum sugesting to add an OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing key to the Client's Windows registry, but it didn't work.

Any idea to solve this problem? Thanks a lot  !!

What browser and OS are you using? I have the same problem with Windows 7 and WebDAV.

Hello!
I'm using IE 8, Google Chrome and Firefox 3 with Ms Office 2007 on a machine with Ms Windows Server 2003, with Alfresco Community 3.2r.

This is a known issue with Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Office 2007 - I reported this in Jira last year. It may be fixed in release 3.3 when the new Webdav options are implemented.
