Zope, WebDAV and MS-Office
Hi all, I am trying to edit MS-Office documents stored on a Zope server throught DAV but I really don't know how to do it. I need help, guys... Thanks for advance.
Fred, Create a Web folder (Start in My Network Places for XP) and be sure to open and close the document in the specific application (Word,Excel) that you are using. Don't use Windows Explorer. Joseph On Wed, 2 Jul 2003 19:13:13 +0200, Sinclair wrote

Start zope with '-W [portnumber]', and use that portnumber when connecting your webfolder: http://somehost.org:8181/documents also, you might like to take a look at "put_factory" It works for me, but i have some problems with worddocuments containing pictures when saving as webpages.

Thank you. That works but... not really like I want. I can edit an excel file once, but at the second try its state is "read only" !!???? And how to use DAV features like lock/unlock ?

Windows web-folders doesn't follow the webdav specs correctly, and it is buggy. Various zope developers have tried to improve zope's support for the windows implementation, but this is apparently a big effort and nobody has been able to get adequate information to do it. TeamDrive and Webdrive are reported to work much better, but they are not free. I have tried webdrive and not had problems with it. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky!
