Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE)

[nebulon]

@msbt ah that could very well be true, the input field actually allows a regexp. I will see if I can make that input a bit more user friendly and maybe pre-setup the value with *.domain.com for the Cloudron, as that might be the most common use-case.

@msbt said in Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE):

@necrevistonnezr you need to click on the office app, login with your cloudron credentials and add the nextcloud url in there (without https://)

Thanks! I had missed that step indeed. Works now.

[nebulon]

I pushed a new version which gives more details on the domain setup. It also mentions how to use it for more than one domain.

This is like Christmas for me, guys. Thank you!! Works perfectly for me so far. Full implementation in less than 5 minutes. By far the easiest way to setup Collabora, anywhere.

[uiharu]

Thank you so much. This is amazing!

[saglagla]

It's really amazing ! Thank you guy's !

If you now add Fulltext Search (https://forum.cloudron.io/post/1596), Cloudron's Nextcloud package would be unparalleled, I think....

[ruihildt]

@nebulon I have suggestions for improvements, where is the best place to write those?

[nebulon]

if its about the Cloudron app package itself, then probably at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/collabora-app/issues

@nebulon Done: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/collabora-app/issues/1

I don't know if this is relevant but it seems there's a new version of CODE out - although I couldn't find a specific announcement. The cloudron app states that CODE is at version 6.0....

Collabora Online 4.0 released

Press Releases
Collabora Productivity, the driving force behind bringing LibreOffice to the cloud, is excited to announce a new, major release of our enterprise product Collabora Online 4.0. This release includes a fresh look, mobile improvements, improved interoperability, new dialogs and functionality as well as a raft of bug fixes and polish.
At the same time as our release we are updating the Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE) for home users, and to make it easy for everyone to try this out and get involved with integrating it into their systems. For more information please visit CODE’s page.

The version mismatch is related to the different versions upstream. Collabora uses collaboraoffice package version 6.0 , while their meta package (which also includes the document management loolwsd) is version 4. The app package version should reflect the version of the meta package, in this case 3.4.0

We will update the Cloudron package soonish from version 3 to 4

[FTLAUDMAN]

@nebulon It will be great to try out v4 because they added support for mobile document editing in the latest Nextcloud app (using Collabora v4 and Nextcloud 15).

This is not working for me in the iOS Nextcloud app, even with the updated Collabora v4 and Nextcloud 15. When I tap a document, I get a "502 bad gateway" error and / or just a blank screen.

[FTLAUDMAN]

Well that's not encouraging. I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot that one. I had just seen these announcements over the last few months:

https://nextcloud.com/blog/collabora-online-developer-edition-4.0-is-here-edit-documents-on-mobile-and-more/ (article is 2 months old now and the regular release of 4.0 looks to have been released last week)

https://nextcloud.com/blog/mobile-app-integration-for-online-office-talk-in-the-file-sidebar-and-much-improved-sharing/

Nextcloud's app supposedly already has support for it.

[FTLAUDMAN]

@necrevistonnezr I'm getting a blank screen in the iOS app, too. But now even the web version on desktop is failing to load. Latest updates on Nextcloud/Collabora/Cloudron and I have the Collabora app using a wildcard for my domain, and the Nextcloud Collabora app is configured and updated. Not sure what is going on, it has worked in the past.

[necrevistonnezr]

@FTLAUDMAN Can't confirm that, Collabora works fine in the web interface but still not on mobile. Have you updated to the latest Collobora app (v. 3.2.2) in the nextcloud admin interface?

[FTLAUDMAN]

@necrevistonnezr Thanks for the tip. I updated to 3.2.3 (previously was at 3.2.1) and now the web interface is working in Firefox. (Not working in Safari, for some reason.) Still no luck with the iOS app, though.

[necrevistonnezr]

an update was pushed yesterday that states

[1.4.0]

• Support Mobile Editing

Unfortunately, even after restarting cloudron and the nextcloud apps on iOS, mobile editing does not work.

When I tap on a editable document, nothing happens and the iOS App crashes (blank screen). The same happens when I try to create a new document. There isn't even an entry in the Collabora or Nextcloud logs...

just tested the android version, works fine with docx and xlsx (.doc it tries to open with the internal viewer)
