------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed May 7 08:14:01 +0000 2008 ------- Starting with OOo 2.4 release users get a special notification when they try to open a document which has been created with a newer Office version using the ODF 1.2 format, for example the OOo 3.0 Beta does so. Details about this notification you can read within the corresponding specification document at: Currently the ODF notification dialog offers two buttons, "Update Now..." and "Later". When the user of an OOo 2.4 release selects "Later", the document will be simply opened and displayed with the given restrictions. If the user selects "Update Now...", in OOo 2.4 the Online-Update notification mechanism is triggered. As a result the Online-Update notification says "There is no new version, your Office is up to date." This is due to the fact that there is currently no update for 2.4 available, but only a Beta version of OOo 3.0 which we don't want to notify to all 2.4 stable users. To resolve this we need to disconnect the ODF notification from the Online-Update. The idea is to use a web site instead, where we can display informations according to the current situations. For example while there is no stable release out there which supports ODF 1.2 format, the web site can inform users in detail that the document has been created with a newer Office version which is currently in Beta phase. If the user likes to participate in the Beta Test, he can follow corresponding links from there. As soon as OOo 3.0 becomes a final stable release, we can change the content of that site to display informations accordingly. A rough schema for the URL which should be opened in a browser when the user selects "Update Now..." in the ODF notification dialog is looking like this: http://<office specific part>/%Product&%Edition&%Language&%ODF_Version For OOo 2.4.1 the URL might look similar to this: http://tools.services.openoffice.org/OOo2.4.1/notification.html&ODF1.2 Details of the URL we need to discuss with Frank Mau. Important is to generate the URL dynamicly. So the ODF version information is not static. By this we would be able to handle future ODF format revisions accordingly, too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
