note you need to change the document_wopi.client config parameter from demo 
data because this pointed to a libreoffice instance not available any more

absolutely, this was just meant to get you going faster. In the end there 
should be one module to provide locking (that with some migration dms could 
use too) and one for the wopi stuff

  • Editing/Viewing attachments (mainly Word and Excel) directly on server without the need to download locally

    Hello,

     

    I am investigating a possibility of allowing somehow editing and viewing of attachments without the need to download and reupload them locally. I would like for Odoo to replace any local storage and save users from need to download/upload the files. DMS module comes to mind as a good base for orgnaizing that. I can see multiple building blocks for this but I am interested if anyone has taken this idea any further. Some of the possible building blocks could be:

     

     

    I was able to access demo of Odoo 14.0 Enterprise with new possibility to create "live" spreadsheets. Don't know how that is done (is it 14.0's module google_spreadsheets?) but that won't allow for opening your own Excel nor Word files :-(

     

    Has anyone attempted anything like this succesfully? Can you give any pointers please? Thank you

     

    Best regards
