[xwiki-users] Using WEBDAV in a Mozilla Firefox directly (without firefox extention)
As I understand, Xwiki use different portions of code for the different browsers - FF and IE - for the WEBDAV link. IE working directly with webdav, but firefox - is not. If I try to click on a webdav link (edit link) ff ask me for exetention FoxWiki. This is a special extention for XWiki and for this extention need to setup one by one all applications. But for IE - not need special plugins and not need any setup. Exists another plugin for FF - openwebfolder (http://openwebfolder.mozdev.org/) as a described in a home page of this extention: "Internet Explorer itself does not contain any WebDAV support. However, it does offer hooks to Microsoft's WebDAV component, usually called "web folders". Openwebfolder itself does not contain any platform-independant WebDAV related code. It just adds hooks so that Microsoft's "Webfolder" WebDAV client can be invoked in a similar way like in IE." My idea - try to use this extention for FF. But everytime XWiki offer for me - "download FoxWiki" - as I understand, according to the XWiki template - attachmentsinline.vm. This template use different edit-calls for the different browsers. How I need to change attachmentsinline.vm for the using one edit-call and for FF and for IE? As I understand - with FF extention openwebfolder - all will be as of IE, if XWiki will give to user same edit-link like IE. (I tried in other webdav application - all working). -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Using-WEBDAV-in-a-Mozilla-Firefox-directly-without-fire...

I remember trying out openwebfolder extension some times ago but as I understood it's only capable opening webdav directories for display. Not sure if it could fire the native application that would carry out the edit operation.
But everytime XWiki offer for me - "download FoxWiki" - as I understand, according to the XWiki template - attachmentsinline.vm. This template use different edit-calls for the different browsers. How I need to change attachmentsinline.vm for the using one edit-call and for FF and for IE? As I understand - with FF extention openwebfolder - all will be as of IE, if XWiki will give to user same edit-link like IE. (I tried in other webdav application - all working).
It would be great if you can investigate this a little bit :) May be you could try editing attachmentsinline.vm (+ you might have to edit webdav application<http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/WebdavApplication>code as well) and get rid of the code which tries to install FoXWiki. This would leave FoXWiki apart but I'm not sure how we can communicate with openwebfolder (i.e. fire it up instead FoXWiki installation). I would like to have a look into this but I'm occupied a bit these days. Thanks. - Asiri
