The following page has been changed by JonathanAddison: http://wiki.apache.org/lenya/HowToEditWithWebDAV The comment on the change is: Word 2003, OpenOffice (Windows) updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ == Recent Testing Results / Observations == == Dreamweaver == - * With the recent patches it is now working again as described above in the Dreamweaver section. (EDIT: The last patch has broken this for the moment as all files appear with their original extension (i.e. .xml instead of .html). This will be fixed soon.) + * With the recent patches it is now working again as described above in the Dreamweaver section. * Creating a new WebDAV site connected to localhost:3333/default displays the complete listing of files from the webdav folder - * All of the files can be opened, edited, saved, and checked back in right from within Dreamweaver, with the changes appearing with a refresh of Lenya. + * All of the files can be opened, edited, saved, and checked back in right from within Dreamweaver, with the changes appearing with a refresh of Lenya. Saving and Checking In can be combined into one step in the Site > Advanced settings tab. * Basic MKCOL method implemented, but still cannot create new files because of temporary directories that are created during new file process. == OpenOffice (Windows) == * There is an option to toggle which Open/Save Dialogs are used, those from Windows or those from OpenOffice. * The Windows dialogs are used by default, to change go to Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > General and click the option for OpenOffice Open/Save dialogs. - * If using the Windows dialogs and browsing to the files on an XP Web folder, the files will open as read-only. + * If using the Windows dialogs and browsing to the files on an XP Web folder, the files will open as read-only. This is because OpenOffice is opening read-only temp files instead of the originals. Word 2003 also does this but avoids the read-only issue. * If using the OpenOffice dialogs, browsing to the XP Web folder is no longer an option. * However, you can type in ([http://localhost:3333/default/webdav/tutorial_en.html]) and the file will open as an editable file. - * This is too difficult for a normal user but it helped to see that the XP Web folders are the cause of the read-only problem. * Dreamweaver has no read-only issues because it also has its own WebDAV implementation and bypasses XP Web folders. == XP Web Folders == - * As mentioned above they only permit read-only views of WebDAV files in both Word 2003 and OpenOffice. + * As mentioned above they only permit read-only views of WebDAV files in OpenOffice. - * [http://www.zope.org/Members/enno/howto_webdav_zopeedit A google search revealed] that XP Web folders create temporary files and that this is the likely cause of the read-only issue.
