I'm really keen on this extension but I can't get it to load. I think I've tracked it down to it requiring Sun's jre6, which I don't have installed. I tried installing that, but there's no bin for my PPC processor. Am I right on this conclusion or am I wandering down the wrong path?

Yes, I know that I'm in an obscure group, running Ubuntu Linux on an old Mac Mini, but this is the first thing I've found that won't work because of it. Well, it won't do flash either, but I really don't care about that.

Any ideas for a work-around or a redirection to the right path would be appreciated.

Configuration option will not launch on my MacBook Pro running m5 (RC 1).

First, thanks for adding webDAV. You may remember that I was the requested the addition. It's been helpful to me.

1) just a reminder to anyone using this that webDAV can't work with spaces in the file name. webDAV uses HTTP commands (PUT, in this case) and spaces are not allowed. I tried this and the file was never uploaded. Looking at the error log on my server helped me learn this.

2) even when the files not uploaded (for example, item (1) ), you still get the 'file upload' success box. not sure why.

any comments would be appreciated.

Excelent extension

It would be nice to have it also for writer documents, at least ability to reduce size of images. Than it would be extension No.1 for me. ankara nakliyat estetik burun estetigi

Have tried out this extension with my gmail account and it works fine for upload and download.

I really want to use it with my google apps account. It has worked fine for upload but when I attempt to download it gives message "Problem: Bad Gateway." This happens a couple of minutes after i click Get List (so I never get the list.)

Can you help?

Could anyone tell me why I can successfuly log in, upload .doc files, see the file names that I've uploaded, but as soon as I try to download a file I get the following message:

>Server Error
>Sorry, you've reached a login page for a domain that isn't using Google Apps. Please check the web address and try again.

I am using xUbuntu 7.10, OOO 2.4, JRE 1.6.0_04

Thanx

This extension does exactly what it is supposed to - hooks into Google Docs and allows you to upload/download files from/to Google Docs in a second and utilize within OpenOffice. It would be nice if it had an auto-synchronization feature and created versioning on the Google Docs size - but for now it does what it says.

"to Google Docs from OpenOffice.org, and from OpenOffice.org to Google Docs"
Isnt that quite the same?

Unfortunately I'm having trouble with it on XP. I've been uploading my documents repeatedly as I work on them, and instead of replacing the document since it has the same name, I have three copies of the same file in Google docs. Even worse all three of them are copies of the original one I uploaded without the changes I made to the document over time. This plug in shows promise, but make sure you back-up your documents to your hard drive.

Just an FYI:

I have found that even though you are running Java 1.6 SE, there is a scenario where you are cannot enable the GDocs.jar, even though Addons.xcu and ProtocolHandler.xcu are enabled. For some reason, when I added this extension, it threw it under "My Extensions" within OpenOffice's Extension Manager. My "fix" was to manually remove the extension and re-added it under "OpenOffice.org Extensions". In doing so, I was able to Enable GDocs.jar without any errors.

I'm trying to use this extension on Open Office 2.3.1 in Ubuntu 7.10. Our company has a domain with Google Apps. When I upload files, my login as username@mydomain.com plus password is accepted, and the upload works. However, while I can download the list of files via 'Get List' using the same credentials, clicking on 'Open' after marking a file in the list opens Firefox and the Google Docs login page (which does not accept an Apps login) instead of downloading and opening the file.

What I probably should have mentioned: we're using the German version of Google Apps.

The "user credentials" appears to assume the standard Google Docs login. However, users of Google Docs as part of a Google Apps site, use a slightly different URL to log-in. For example, a "docs user" uses "docs.google.com" whereas an "apps user" uses "docs.my-domain.com".

Would it be possible to support Google Docs within Google Apps ?

I'm not familiar with the inner working of an OO add-on so this may be easy or not. My guess is only the configurable URL would need to be added.

Is there a way to make this all work automatically in the background?

Have loaded this extension but it refuses to run.

When I try to enable it from the Extension Manager I get the following error.

"Could not create Java implementation loader"

I am running on PCLinuxOS and with;

java -version
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode)

Jim!

This works great! I don't use google docs for editing, but it is a great way to get documents from computer to computer. My only concern is that this doesn't like to upload .ods documents. I have tried .doc .odt and .xls and those work fine, just not .ods. It pops up with an error: "Problem: Bad Request." any help?
