By default, Vibe users can access files on the Vibe server directly using a web browser.
If they have sufficient rights, they can then open files for editing using whichever of the following two options you configure Vibe to support.
MS URI-based editing is available by default to all users who have:
Web browser access to vibe.
Microsoft Office 2010 or later installed on their workstation.
Users can edit files directly in Vibe (through underlying WebDAV support) using the Edit this file drop-down option wherever it appears.
IMPORTANT:LibreOffice is not supported by MS URI.
For more information, see Editing Files Accessed through a Web Browser
in the OpenText Vibe 4.0.8 User Guide.
Vibe URI-based editing (also knowns as Vibe Edit-in-Place) is not the default browser-based option. It requires action on your part as well as by your users, but for many it is the best option because:
It supports both Mac and Windows.
It supports Microsoft Office and LibreOffice.
To provide Vibe-URI-based file editing, complete the steps in the following sections:
To configure the Vibe server, you must do the following:
Follow the instructions in Distributing File-Access Applications to Users.
Change to the following directory:
|
Linux: |
/opt/novell/teaming/apache-tomcat/ webapps/ssf/WEB-INF/classes/config |
|
Windows: |
c:\Program Files\Novell\Teaming\apache-tomcat\ webapps\ssf\WEB-INF\classes/config |
Open the ssf-ext.properties file.
Insert a new entry as follows: edit.in.place.mode=vibeuri.
Save and close the ssf-ext.properties file.
Stop and restart Vibe.
NOTE:If you want to revert to msuri functionality, simply change the edit.in.place.mode option to msuri and restart Vibe.
To use Vibe URI (Edit-in-Place), users must download and install the Vibe Edit-in-Place application for their workstation type.
