Hi Devs,
From today onwards I'll be working on integrating
the xwiki-webdav plugin in
the xwiki ui. And in the process i will resurrect the
foxwiki firefox
extension as well.
By integrating xwiki-webdav on the xwiki ui, we mean to provide the users
the ability to open / edit / save various types of attachments with their
favourite editor.
For an example, we'll provide a "open with word" link next to a
".doc"
attachment in the attachments section of the UI. When the user clicks on
this link it will fire up word and let the user edit the content and save it
back as he/she wishes.
Currently this functionality is available natively on IE (phew) and there
isn't much to be done on that. But for this to work on firefox we're going
to have to resurrect the foxwiki extension. So the tentative workplan would
be as bellow:
* Make foxwiki work with firefox 3 - (Estimated : 2 days - Already started
working on this)
* Add the functionality to load the corresponding application (to edit the
attachment) via foxwiki - (Estimated : 3 days ?)
* Provide a common javascript API (javascript.vm ?) that can be used to
launch an application from pages - (Estimated : ?)
* Modify attachments.vm to automatically include the links for editing
attachments.
These are the goals I currently have in my mind and i'm still bit shaky
about some topics myself. If any of you have sugesstions / comments /
thoughts please let me know.
Thanks.

Asiri,
does this mean that Windows-Web-Folder and MacOSX-webdav-connection
are *also* expected to work just not popping up? I understand the
usage of an extension such as foxwiki only in order to make this easy
but honestly I find copy-and-paste of the URL, adding appropriate
credientals, is the thing that should and must work before any other.

I'm not clear about what you meant by "just not popping up", but let me
elaborate a bit.
The current xwiki-webdav implementation already works with
windows-web-folders and mac-osx-webdav-connection. But the problem with
these is that the user needs to leave the browser and perform some setup if
he wishes to work on the files directly. And moreover, webfolders does not
provide the complete filesystem abstraction like webdav redirector on xp,
which requires further complicated setup ( net use * "
http://mydavserver/xwiki/webdav" ... ).
The idea is to prevent the user from having to leave the browser and thus
make his life easy. I mean think about a possible extension, we can let the
users edit their wiki pages (not just attachments) using his favorite word
processor! Once he saves the document it will be saved into the server (via
webdav) and the results will be visible immediately.
I hope i have answered your question correctly. Please let me know if you
have further comments :)
Thanks.

Hi Asiri,
You're right about the need to make the user's life easy by providing WebDAV
acess right from his browser.
However the last time I tested WebDAV integration I wasn't able to upload
files on the XWiki disk from my computer (running Mac OS X 10.5). I'm not
sure this issue has been fixed yet, but I think what Paul means is that he'd
rather have those kind of basic features working & well-tested first and
then afterwards the browser part.
So, either the remaining issues have been fixed and Paul & I simply didn't
test the latest available version or it might be good to fix them before
taclking the FF extension part.

This is not an issue in the WebDAV code itself, but an issue of the
Apache version we have in front of our Intranet (that's where Guillaume
has tested).
We are waiting for some free time from Raffaello to upgrade our Apache
to fix this.
We are also not operationnal on Windows XP on our intranet because we
have not installed the Home Web app that Asiri has build to allow
compatiblity with Windows XP WebDav redirector.
Unfortunately the setup of WebDAV is constraining and as I studied there
is nothing we can do to make it more simpler than what we did currently.

I'm not sure what you exactly mean. The UI integration *is* based on
Windows Web Folder and MacOSX. We are only talking about simplifying the
launch and not required people to mount disks. Unfortunately we cannot
guess file system links concerning mounted disks, so the only URL we can
give is an HTTP url. This is what the native JS in IE and the Firefox
extension can do. Run Word or OpenOffice with the right URL as a parameter.

Hi Devs,
From today onwards I'll be working on integrating the xwiki-webdav

the xwiki ui. And in the process i will resurrect the foxwiki firefox
extension as well.
By integrating xwiki-webdav on the xwiki ui, we mean to provide the

the ability to open / edit / save various types of attachments with

For an example, we'll provide a "open with word" link next to a

this link it will fire up word and let the user edit the content and
save it
back as he/she wishes.
Currently this functionality is available natively on IE (phew) and
there
isn't much to be done on that. But for this to work on firefox we're
going
to have to resurrect the foxwiki extension. So the tentative workplan
would
be as bellow:
* Make foxwiki work with firefox 3 - (Estimated : 2 days - Already

* Add the functionality to load the corresponding application (to

Sounds like a good plan. I would like to hear what people would like to
see in FoXwiki.
It would be fun to add simple features to make XWikiers life easier
using a Firefox extension

From today onwards I'll be working on
integrating the xwiki-webdav plugin in
the xwiki ui. And in the process i will
resurrect the foxwiki firefox
extension as well.
By integrating xwiki-webdav on the xwiki ui, we mean to provide the users
the ability to open / edit / save various types of attachments with their
favourite editor.
For an example, we'll provide a "open with word" link next to a
".doc"
attachment in the attachments section of the UI. When the user clicks on
this link it will fire up word and let the user edit the content and save it
back as he/she wishes.
Currently this functionality is available natively on IE (phew) and there
isn't much to be done on that. But for this to work on firefox we're going
to have to resurrect the foxwiki extension. So the tentative workplan would
be as bellow:
* Make foxwiki work with firefox 3 - (Estimated : 2 days - Already started
working on this)
* Add the functionality to load the corresponding application (to edit the
attachment) via foxwiki - (Estimated : 3 days ?)
* Provide a common javascript API (javascript.vm ?) that can be used to
launch an application from pages - (Estimated : ?)
* Modify attachments.vm to automatically include the links for editing
attachments.
These are the goals I currently have in my mind and i'm still bit shaky
about some topics myself. If any of you have sugesstions / comments /
thoughts please let me know.
Thanks.

I forgot to add one thing:
- propose people to download the FF extension if they do not have it
- allow to see the webdav URL (to allow copy pasting)
Nice to have in the future:
- allow to configure the mounted disk name to construct a URL linking to
the mounted disk (this would allow not to have to relogin to your webdav
wiki)
