Howdy,
Is anyone using OpenOffice 1.0 to edit Zope documents via Webdav?
The OO doc says it is Webdav capable.
In Zope doc I found mentioned that a port other than 8080 will return source of a page instead of rendered.
Is there a predefined port to return source?
No - but you can set it in z2.py # Port for the special "WebDAV source view" HTTP handler. There is no # standard port for this handler, which is disabled by default. WEBDAV_SOURCE_PORT=[] so do something like WEBDAV_SOURCE_PORT=8088 Paul P.S. On a different tack, whilst I haven't looked at OpenOffice recently, I did note from a recent thread on the python-win32 list that OpenOffice supports COM. Tim Hicks and I have developed something called "zlave" <http://www.zope.org/Members/tuppence/zlave/> that allows Microsoft Office docs (via XML-RPC - if you need to have a Unix box in the mix - and COM) to be automatically converted to HTML, in the manner of MSWord Munger <http://www.zope.org/Members/Kaivo/MSWordMunger> but using kosher Word (say, rather than wvWare, which in our experience tends to fail as the uploaded Word doc gets more complicated). Thought: if OpenOffice supports COM, perhaps one might be able to remove Microsoft Office from the architecture? (see <http://www.bris.ac.uk/ISC/cms/zlave.gif> for the latter) Comments? IHMO this is a killer application for any intranet and indeed Zope in general ....... moreover post-processing of the so-called HTML that Word produces (dunno about Open Office) allows such converted documents to be used in contexts of wider visibility (so due regard can be paid to accessibility issues, etc). -- The Library, Tyndall Avenue, Univ. of Bristol, Bristol, BS8 1TJ, UK E-mail: paul.browning@bristol.ac.uk URL: http://www.bris.ac.uk/
