I agree with Vincent about the hiding way. I would prefer a message instead of not knowing the existance of this (great) functionnality. Also +1 for the first and the (new) third suggestion Thanks -----Message d'origine----- De : [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] De la part de Vincent Massol Envoyé : vendredi 7 août 2009 11:35 À : XWiki Developers Objet : Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Hide Office Importer Features when the OOoserver isn't running On Aug 7, 2009, at 11:22 AM, Guillaume Lerouge wrote:

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.

-0 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.
