Insert SharePoint document version in Word documents - Viewing in Word Web App

Hello all,
I'm using Labels with the label format {Version} to display the SharePoint document version in MS Office documents stored on my company´s SharePoint site. This works fine if I open the document from the Word client application but if I open it from Word Web
App it displays the previous version number (a minor one). After half an hour or so, when I open the document in Word Web App, the version number is the correct one. I tought it was related with the IE cache so I cleaned it but the results were the same.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
By design. Versioning is a property of a SharePoint item. When displaying an item from SharePoint, Office Web Apps only checks if there has been any change to the file content. It does not check for changes in metadata (if the Properties of the file have
been modified). It then displays the cached image of the last modified version of the file instead of running a new file conversion. This is why the last minor version is displayed in the Content Control instead of the major version. This behaviour is completely
intended and designed to work this way. This is, in fact, a performance optimization. If we would not have this performance optimization in place, then this would mean that Office Web Apps would need to download the file again every time there is a metadata
change (which would, of course, mean overloading the SharePoint server).
I found a similar thread as below, please refer to it for workaround:

Hi Adil,
From the error message, I recommend to check the things below:
Check if Word Viewing service is started in Central Administration. If it is started, stop and re-start it.
Check if the Word Viewing service proxy is created.
Check if the Word Viewing service proxy is associated with web application with issue.
If above cannot work, please check the ULS log for further research.

How do I get the ratingrank to show up in the list view of a web app?

I'm trying to add a review section to my site and can get the form to work correctly on my web app detail view. However I also need the list view to show the rating count. Does anyone know how I can accomplish that?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi SalynotSally,
I use the Weather Channel app, but shortly after I posted this problem, the weather did start showing up. The notification center says at the bottom that the weather is provided by yahoo. I did make sure the location services and such were on though as Diavonex recommended above.
Good luck and hope it works for you!

I need to display a web app search form, inside the detail view of another web app. Does anyone know

I can't seem to get a web app search form to work inside another web app detail page. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I can display a list of web app items; and the search form works on a standard page; but when I try to load it within another web app's detail page, I get an error: "page not found". This happens regarless of whether I put {module_searchresuts} on the same page as the form, or if I redirect results to another page.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Heya.. You currently can not do that within the detail view but it is possible to redirect the results to another page.
Simply replace this red portion:
action="/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=50&PageID={module_oid}"
with:
ID=/results-page.html
...results-page.html being the page you want instead.

Javascript stops working when a detail view of a web app is shown

On a trial site I am working on for some reason the javascript breaks on the template when a detail view of a webapp is on screen. If anyone could let me know why this might be please let me know.
this link is a test page, javascript works fine http://igate.businesscatalyst.com/city-profile-input
same template used with this link same web app only detail view, all the javascript is broken http://igate.businesscatalyst.com/city-profile/test#
Any thoughts, let me know. Thanks -Matt

Liam, I figured it out based on your comment. Something I really do know but just totally overlooked.
The problem was this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/mediaelement-and-player.min.js"></script>
The Fix:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/mediaelement-and-player.min.js"></script>
I was missing the / for the beginning of the path.
Thanks All

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 Installation fails to provision Central Admin web app

PHP_MySQL version of a high security user authentication web app.

Since you folks deal with PHP Application Development, I am posting this here.
For a demo of the PHP_MySQL version of the UltraSuite High Security User Authentication Web Application, you can sign up at http://bit.ly/hgNjek.
It offers a multi-layered approach security approach towards protecting important information like user authentication credentials. Protection from dictionary attacks, rainbow table attacks, brute force attacks, SQL injection attacks and much more.
I hope your feedback will help make the application even more useful and secure.
Thank you!
J.S.

Hi,
could you or someone tell me if ADDT supports protection against these methods you mention:
Protection from dictionary attacks, rainbow table attacks, brute force attacks, SQL injection attacks and much more??
And can this system work alongside ADDT?
thanks again

Trouble viewing Microsoft Outlook Web App on MacBook and iPad

I have used outlook.com for my university's email account for the past year, accessing it from my brand new MacBook. Then earlier this month all of the images and formatting have been completely wrong. All the images just come up as a question mark and there is no formatting for the webpage at all. All I see is everything stuck on the left-hand side like this:
Inbox
Unread Messages (5)
Sent Items
and so on and so forth. None of the links work at all, they just reload the current page. On my iPad I cannot even login to my account, Outlook tells me my password is incorrect (it's not). Also as of this past week my MacBook tells me the security certificate of Outlook.com is invalid, and it warns me that it might be a phony website
Outlook.com works perfectly fine from PCs, but from both my home macs it is failing. Microsoft charges $39 to get an email back so they are of no use whatsoever.
What on Earth should I do?

Hello strick,
I'm able to load Outlook.com just fine in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. So it's possible that it's a weird cookie and/or cache issue for your web browser. You didn't specify which browser you were using, so I'm going to assume it's Safari. Anyway here's an explanation (from Google) on how to do it for each browser -
http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=32050
It sounds more like a browser issue than anything else, as I'm unable to replicate any issues with the Outlook.com site across all three of the popular browser platforms for OS X.

Load latest document version in open Word document

Hello,
is it possible to automtically retrive the latest word document version from an document you opend before in read only modus?
Following scenario:
1. You opend a word document from a sharepoint DL in read only modus
2. Someone else edits this document and save it (new version)
3. You still have an open document but not the latest.
Can Word remind the user that there is a new version of this document? (When you go in edit mode you will get a message that there is a new version)
Thanks in advanced
Markus

Hi Markus,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the latest version of the document when the document has been opened in Word.
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, and I can get the latest version of the document when the document has been opened in Word.
When you go in edit mode, there will be a message to tell you that there is a new version of the document:
Please make sure that the document has been checked in by the former user and your account has the permission to edit the new versions of the document.
Best regards.
Thanks

Opening a word document for editing with webdav

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question..
I am attempting to open a word document, which resides in a webdav folder from web app. I need IE to start word and open the original document from the webdav folder and allow the user to make changes to the document and save it back to the webserver.
Wep app this http://www.javatalks.ru/go.php?uri=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk/java/org/apache/catalina/servlets/WebdavServlet.java
I've got it to open the document but it seemed to have copied the document to my temporary internet files folder and opened the copy from there. The original file name is "test.doc" but the opened temprary file is "test[1].doc" and so on. How can I get it to open the original document for editing?
Any help would be appreciated..

Unbale to create new document part with same document number

Number range assigned to the X Document Type is internal. I have created new document (0001) with Document Part 000 & Version 00. For same Document Number when i tried to create New Document part by mentioning Document Numner 0001, Document Part 001 and Version 00, it says Document Type X can be assigned to internal number range only.
Even I tried with following selection....
Document Number = Blank
Document Part = 001
Document Version = 00
Template:
Document = 0001
Document Part = 000
Document Version = 00
Now system is creating document with new number i.e. 0002. But we want to create another document part with same Document Number. What is the problem with internal number range for Document Number?

Hi Pradeep,
Following are the config parameter of the document type.
CM Relevnce = blank
Number assignmt= 01
Internal Number Range =02
External Number Range= blank
Number Exit =MCDOKZNR
Vers. No. Incr. =0
Version Sequence = blank
AlternativeScreen = blank
Let me know if you need anything more.

Having templates appear when users click the "New Document" button in a document library with custom content types

Hi all,
I'm using SharePoint Online, but I'm seeing the same behavior in an on-prem 2013 instance as well. My situation is this:
- I've created a document library
- I've created a custom content type and attached a custom document template to it
- I've assigned the custom content type to the document library, and disabled the default "document" option
What I'm expecting to see is that when I browse to the document library and click "new document", that either a) a picklist appears allowing me to specify the document template I want (using the custom template I specified) or b) open the custom
template itself. That doesn't happen - instead, when I click new document I'm prompted to upload a file, which seems to contradict the whole point of using a custom content type/custom document template combo.
Am I missing something? The custom template isn't in the Forms library, which seems to be a problem if I wanted to use the custom document template instead of the default.
Ideally I'd like a menu like the one shown here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/59ce3bd8-bf7f-4872-ae76-60d8c81dfc32/display-content-types-on-new-document-button-in-document-libraries?forum=sharepointgeneral, except with me being able to control the list of items that is shown.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Brain,
What you have done is by design behavior.
If you want to show the Office document templates list (e.g. below image from your above referenced link) to select when click "+new document" link, this will need to install Office Web App 2013 which provides this feature,
you can new document and see it is using WopiFrame.aspx page, please see more from below article about how to configure OWA 2013 for SharePoint 2013 on-premise.

I have a samsung note and i was aable to work with outlook web app in detail or premium view. Suddently, 2 - 3 ago, i can have only the light version. Help !!

Microsoft says that firefox is a browser that shows the full or premium or detail view of outlook web app. Is there something changed in firefox, or i did something to my samsung, and maybe you can tell me what i made wrong ? Thanks

Hi,
I'm sorry you are having this problem. Are you able to find a link to the webapp in your history that doesn't have 'm' or mobile in it? Maybe you are now being redirected to the simpler version?
Thanks,

Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 Server

Hi All,
I have installed a separate server for Office Web Apps 2013 on Windows Server 2012 VM. I have followed TechNet's article on
Deploying Office Web Apps Server & exactly followed steps.
On SharePoint Server 2013 (Windows Server 2012), I followed TechNet’s article on
Configure Office Web Apps for SharePoint. The Office Web Apps on SharePoint 2013 environment works for
Excel document that shows “View in Browser” but
no Preview.
However, PowerPoint and Word documents doesn’t show “View in Browser”. I thought Internet Explorer 10 has some issue with Office Web Apps and checked on Chrome and results were same.
On SharePoint Server 2013 environment, I have configured 3 services applications, MMS, UPS and Excel Service.
1.) Do I need any other service applications to be enabled for OWA 2013?
I read number of blogs,
Installing Office Web Apps Server for SharePoint 2013 (Steve Mann),
Install Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 (Max Melcher) and Spence Harbar
(Enabling Office Web Apps Preview editing with SharePoint 2013). and all these blogs give more or less same steps that I have followed.
Strange thing is that Excel documents on my SharePoint 2013 sites are working but neither word or PowerPoint documents are not showing option for “View in Browser”.
I am using HTTP and not HTTPS.
2. Can someone please advice how could I solve the Office Web Apps 2010 on Word and PPT?
3. How to can enable preview for Excel, Word and PPT documents.
Thanks you.
Regards,
Aroh

Hi Inderjeet and Olafur,
Thanks for your reply.
@Inderjeet: That site collection feature on SP2010 works on our production environment but on SP2013 site collection there is no OWA feature. Microsoft recommends to have a separate OWA2013 server and what I create
a separate VM for OWA2013 server.
@Olafur: Your suggestion looks spot on. The OWA server does show the discovery:
Our SP2013 development server has limited RAM (4GB) and it think is causing the issue.
Let me check if increasing RAM solves the issue.
Thanks again for your suggestions. (Interjeet and Olafur).

How to hide "View in Browser" and "Edit in Browser" from ECB injected by Office Web Apps Feature

Hi,
i am currently using custom_AddDocLibMenuItems to implement a custom ECB menu for my document library. I need to activate Office Web Apps. My custom_AddDocLibMenuItems has two items
-> custom dialog
-> open in office web apps
After activating the Office Web Apps Feature at the SiteCollection Level, this Feature "injects" in my custom menu the following
additional menu items:
-> View in Browser
-> Edit in Browser
Its curious to see that, cause implementing the js function custom_AddDocLibMenuItems with
return true should be the way to impolement a custom ECB menu without having other features/solutions injecting things in this menu!? Or did i misunderstood something here?
My question is: How can i prevent this ...
a) without deactivating the Office Web Apps Feature
b) without modifying the core.js
I hope someone can help!
Best Regards
