Hi Devs,
right now an user can go to the Office Importer page and try
uploading a
file even when the backend OOo server isn't running. This leads to
usability
issues. Thus I'd like to send a vote on the following 2 items:
- On the Office Importer page, add the following message:
-
"You cannot import an Office document since the conversion
server has not been started. Please ask an administrator to get it
started for you."
-
If the current user is an admin, the message should read: "You
cannot import an Office document since the OpenOffice server has not
been started yet. You can start the OpenOffice server and manage it
from this page (link to the OOo server administration page)."
+1
-
In the action bar: add a check to see whether the OOo server is
running and don't display the link if the OOo server is not.

I'm not a big fan of magically hiding things. How will a user know
there's an office import feature?
I prefer that the menu entry stays and the page explains that the
office importer is not started.
I'd like to add a new behavior though (if it's not already done):
- if the office importer app is not installed (we can test for the
main office importer page availability) then the menu entry shouldn't
appear.
Thanks
