Summary

Details

Live Edit

Windows 7 + IE8 support out of box. Simply install the plug-ins.

For IE9+, note http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/USERDOC56/Live+Edit+compatibility+table about "IE9 Compatibility" mentioned IE9+ truncate "Accept" header and prevents Live Edit to work under normal mode.

Two solutions provided and both tested and verified.

By changing Live Edit detection to "server", all clients, in spite of whether or not Live Edit plugin is installed, will have the Live Edit icons shown on the pages. That may be a nuisance but better than enabling compatible mode at IE.

Test results:

XP reports error until the follows were installed (as suggested on the page):

• dot Net
• PIA
• Google Frame (suggested on web interface)

Ubuntu 12.04 with Firefox requires

• tools -> add-ons -> LiveEdit protocol handler
• Click "Add Default OpenOffice Mapping"
• Set working directory as a directory that the user has right to use as temp, for example "/tmp/" (tailing "/" is required)

WebDav / WSS (No Installation)

Follow: http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/USERDOC/Working+with+WebDAV+and+WSS

Windows XP: Works, but somehow behaves strange and not satisfactory.

• Asks password every time
• Office saves two copies for one file.
• "New Folder" shown as a file and the created folder was gone.
• To summary: not quite working.

Windows 7:

• Asks password bit too often albeit "save password" is checked
• Search "WebDav / WSS windows ask password" finds many discussions, some about SharePoint, seems to be a windows problem; someone suggests setting IE security zone "auto login" - tested but not work;
• To summarize: much better than XP, workable, a little annoyance of being repeatedly asking to login

Other WebDav client: mentioned to be supported by document, for MacOS and Linux, not tested
