Apache Openoffice document connector in sharepoint

We have used Apache OpenOffice document in our SharePoint server.
Is there any way to open or edit OpenOffice, like Microsoft Office documents?
We have found Oracle provide the solution for SharePoint and OpenOffice connector extension.
But this is not a free. Any open source available for this?

Hi,
Open Office does not have the SharePoint ActiveX controls that ship with Office,
so they're unable to use the direct save to SharePoint functionality that Office has.
As a workaroud, you can try to open the document library in Windows Explorer view, and double click the document to open in Windows Explorer view.
What’s more, iFilterShop provides and iFilter for OPenOffice Documents in SharePoint, you can have a look at.

Livecycle connector for sharepoint Set Document Content for Office documents

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how the LiveCycle 9.5 connector for sharepoint works. It all works like a charm, exept for the set document content activity in a LiveCycle process.
When I have a file named test.txt on my Sharepoint server, and I execute the process with the "set document content" activity to replace the content with the content of the same test.txt files' content which I changed for the experiment, it gets updated without any problems.
Yet, when I have a file named test.docx on my Sharepoint server, and I try to replace the content with that of the content of the same test.docx file with altered content, the document content doesn't get updated to the new content.
Is there a certain configuration that I need to do, to make this work or is this a known issue of the connector?
Thanks in advance for your answer
Kind Regards,
Ronald Kamp
Junior Flex/Java/LiveCycle Consultant at iDA MediaFoundry.

Hi Ronald,
I could not get this reproduced at my end. We were successfully able to replace contents of a .docx file as well.
Can you please attach the livecycle process along with the thread in case issue has not yet been resolved at your side?
Thanks

I can't save *new* documents back to SharePoint

I can’t save *new* documents back to SharePoint. We have a SharePoint 2013 development environment, running on Windows Server 2012 and a Windows 7 Client Computer with Office 2010.
Every time I click „new document“, SharePoint opens the corresponding template file in the client application (Word, Excel,…) So far, so good. When i select „Save“, the client application brings up a local save path on the client computer, not the SharePoint
document library.
I did some research and tried many approaches, but none of them worked.
I installed the Desktop Experience Feature on the Windows Server 2012, added the server address to trusted sites, gave the user farm-administrator rights (to make sure it is no security problem) and switched the authentication mode for the web application.
Does anyone know this problem and found a solution?

Hi,
For troubleshooting your issue, you can try to add a registry value to your local registry (on a machine with Office Applications installed through which you are accessing SharePoint sites):
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
On the Edit menu, click Modify.
In the Value data box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click OK.
Note You can also type a list of URLs in the Value data box. For more information, see the "Sample URL list" section in this article.
Exit Registry Editor.

Prompting the credentials while click MS office documents in document library in SharePoint Foundation 2010

Hi,
I have site with contains many document library each contains many MS Office and Pdf files. We have provided document library level access rights. While users click the file name, "Prompting the credentials while click MS office documents in document
library in SharePoint Foundation 2010".
Its annoying the user.
How could i resolve this? Its for all users.
Note: only for MS Office file. other files are opening correctly.
Kind Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got the promote issue when clicked the documents in the library of the SharePoint foundation server.
The issue may be caused that the Kerberos authentication is misconfigured, you can change to NTLM to check whether it works.

Creating a folder for a document library in SharePoint online

Hello I am looking for a good place to get started on creating a folder for a document library using a powershell script. Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is a guide to creating folders and items in a document library for SharePoint Server/Foundation: Creating SharePoint Folders
and Items with PowerShell. You will need to tailor it to your needs as it's a demo for creating 50,000 items.
That's step 1 and contains the bulk of what you would need to do. Here's an example of connecting to a library in SharePoint Online using CSOM: Office
365 - PowerShell Script to Upload Files to a Document Library using CSOM. You won't be uploading files, but the parts where you connect and get a list are what you're interested in.
Now you'll combine bits from both of these scripts:
1. Connect to SPO
2. Get your list (looks like you need to first get the site collection and then the site)
3. Create a folder
I figure it would look something like this (note I haven't tested this at all):
#Specify tenant admin and site URL
$User = "[email protected]"
$SiteURL = "https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/site"
$DocLibName = "DocLib"$FolderTitle = "Example Folder"
#Add references to SharePoint client assemblies and authenticate to Office 365 site - required for CSOM
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll"
Add-Type -Path "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\ISAPI\Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Runtime.dll"
$Password = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter your password" -AsSecureString
#Bind to site collection
$Context = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientContext($SiteURL)
$Creds = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.SharePointOnlineCredentials($User,$Password)
$Context.Credentials = $Creds
#Retrieve list
$List = $Context.Web.Lists.GetByTitle($DocLibName)
$folder = $list.AddItem("", [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFileSystemObjectType]::Folder)
$folder["Title"] = $FolderTitle
$folder.Update();

Unable to edit document template in SharePoint 2013

We have uploaded a set of templates that users can select from the drop down list in the Document field in the Document Library. We now need to edit one of these document templates.
We follow the procedure and make the edits which changes the template but when we then select that template from the drop down list, the edits have not been actioned.
Can anyone please assist?

Hi,
As I understand, The modification was not saved back to the template.
How do you edit the document template?
Check if the URL of the template is right. You can go to the site setting->site content type->click the content type you want to edit->advanced setting->edit the template->open the template, and click file->to check if the URL under the template is right.
As a workaround, when you edit the template you can save the template in the local computer, and you can upload the template you have saved in the advanced setting for the content type.
The article below is about how to create Document Templates for Document Libraries in SharePoint 2010, it also can work in SharePoint 2013.

Updating a title column in list that is a lookup column to document library in sharepoint designer workflow 2010

Hi I have a requirement to create a list item in Contracts List when a document is uploaded in Contracts Vendor library.
Contracts List will
have columns - Contract Name ( title column), Contract Number, Contract Start date and end date.
Contracts Vendor library will have Contract
Name,Contract NUmber.
User will select the Contract Name from drop down ( this is look up column linked to Contract Name in Contract
List).When user uploads document in Contract Vendor library then item should be created in Contract List with selected Contract Name and
Contract number .
Contracts and Contracts Vendor are related by look up Contract Name. Contract Name is internally a title column in
Contracts List.
Issue1 :
Since Contract number is look up column, while I am creating item the Contract name is not getting updated in
Contracts List. I have to use sharepoint designer workflow to achieve this task. Title colum or Contract Name shows no title.
Issue 2:
One
more issue I am facing is that Contracts List has Section and Division cascaded drop downs when i select values from section and division
dropdowns and save item in Contracts list the values are getting saved in Contract List.
Could anyone suggest me how to handle this ? I am
attaching the screenshots of the list and library structure. TRuly appreciate your help.
Below are screenshots of the list structure

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update a title column in list that is a lookup column to document library in sharepoint designer workflow 2010.
I try to reproduce the issues as follows:
Create a custom list named Contracts List, add columns: Contract Name ( title column), Contract Number(Number), Contract Start date(Data and Time) and Contract End date (Data and Time).
Create a document library named Contracts Vendor library, add columns: Contract Name(Lookup), Contract NUmber(Lookup).
Create a workflow associated to the Contracts Vendor library.
Add action: Create List Item.
   5. Start the workflow automatically when an item is created.
   6. Upload a document, select the Contract Name and Contract NUmber, the workflow will be started automatically.
   7. Open the Contracts List, an item will be added with the Contract Name and Contract Number in the Contracts Vendor library.
Thank you for your understanding.

Tomcat vs Apache with Tomcat connectors (mod/jk)

Is there any advantage (security, performance etc.) of running a Java web application on Apache HTTP Server with Tomcat Connectors (mod/jk) rather than directly running it on Tomcat.

This question is already answered, see here:

Using a PDF as a Document Template in SharePoint 2010: "New Document" icon and action

Hi,
I have to create a document template in SharePoint 2010 using a PDF. After much searching I have learned to install Reader on the SharePoint server to bring in AcroPDF.dll
and set the OpenControl for PDFs in DOCICON.xml to be "AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments".
After taking these steps I can check PDFs in and out of SharePoint, and edit PDFs as I would edit an MS Office document.
However two problems remain with creating new documents based upon a PDF document template.
1) The PDF icon does not appear in the New Document dropdown. This makes sense since I never referenced a 32x32 icon in the SharePoint config files. Where would I place the icon image file and which configuration file would I edit to use that image file, and how?
The last three document templates are PDFs.
The second problem I face is that when I click one of the document templates above that is a PDF, nothing happens. I have tried this with Acrobat installed on both the client and the server. It would be preferable to insert a copy of the PDF document used as a template without having to use Acrobat at all.
Is there any resolution to either of these problems?

According to what i found the image needs to be 16x16.
See if this works.
Edit the DOCICON.XML file to include the PDF icon
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
Edit the DOCICON.XML file (I open it in NotePad, you can also use the built-in XML Editor)
Ignore the section <ByProgID> and scroll down to the <ByExtension> section of the file
Within the <ByExtension> section, insert a <Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”pdficon_small.gif” /> attribute. The easiest way is to copy an existing one – I usually just copy the line that starts <Mapping Key=”png”… and replace the parameters for Key and Value (see image below for example).
Note: Do not take shortcuts and copy/paste from here. 99% of problems with PDF icons not being displayed are due to errors made in the DOCICON.XML file
Save and close the file

Word Crashing When Discarding Checkout for Document Stored in SharePoint

We have recently noticed an issue when we have a Word file checked out from SharePoint, if we then discard the checkout from Word, Word crashes. The error details point to an issue in wwlib.dll.
Having done some further investigation into this it appears this only happens if the document has an attached template which contains a custom ribbon. We use SharePoint 2013 and Word 2010, although I have tested using Word 2013 with the same results.
This was noticed on our company templates which contain a custom ribbon tab and a number of custom buttons. I have since tested it by creating a template with a single button on a custom tab with the same results.
Has anyone else come across this issue and and is there any way to resolve it?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the response.
The issue only happens when discarding checkout. Editing and saving a document back to SharePoint does not cause an issue. I am using a dotm template. I am not storing the template
as a content type. When I say I created a custom tab, this was created by adding the XML to create the ribbon tab and button. I used the 'Custom UI Editor for Microsoft Office' to add this. The file created for this is called customUI14.xml and the
XML is as follows (in the basic test template that I created):
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2009/07/customui">
<ribbon startFromScratch="false">
<tabs>
<tab id="customTab" label="Custom Tab">
<group id="customGroup" label="Custom Group">
<button id="customButton" label="Test Ribbon Button" imageMso="HappyFace" size="large" onAction="TestRibbonCrash" />
</group>
</tab>
</tabs>
</ribbon>
</customUI>
The code this points to is as follows:
Sub TestRibbonCrash(ByRef Ctrl As IRibbonControl)
MsgBox "Ribbon button working"
End Sub
Following your reply I have tested it by adding a custom tab and button through the GUI and the problem doesn't occur when using that method of creating the tab and button.
I will see if I can find anything useful in the ULS logs although no correlation ID is displayed when the error happens and in my experience even with a correlation ID, 99% of the time the ULS logs don't provide any useful information.
I've also observed that Word doesn't crash if I discard checkout when I have another document open at the same time which is based on the same template.
I have already posted on a MS Word forum. Is there more chance of getting some help on one of the other Word forums you have suggested?
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-word/word-crashing-when-discarding-checkout-for/95565f9e-411b-4f11-b14d-d3771e2e2ba4
Thanks,

Setup a template document in a SharePoint document library

I created a template for a document library in SharePoint Online. I configure it so when the user needs to open a new document the template opens. It works if you go to Files\New Document, but if you click on the New Document link
in the document library when you select word the default template opens. How can I get the new document link in the document library to open the template document that I created?
Thanks
Judy

Its simple.. Go to the document library template which you have created. Then go to its library settings. Then go to advanced settings and select allow management of content type to yes. Then try to click ok and scroll down to find the option add from
existing site content types and then add your template which you have created and click ok. Once you have done that you will be able to see the option of that template when you click new. If you still don't get it then you can open a service ticket from the
sharepoint portal and post your ticket number here and I will try to reach you as soon as I can to take care of the issue from there. If you find this information useful, then propose this as an answer and vote. Thanks.

Document Management in Sharepoint and CRM

Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

See:
