Collabora Online Development Edition (CODE)

[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.

@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)

[FTLAUDMAN]

@necrevistonnezr This is exactly my experience (except I didn't check the log).

Is it possible to have both Collabora and ONLYOFFICE connected to NextCloud, or should I disable ONLYOFFICE before playing with Collabora?

Also, any views here on which works best on mobile? Thanks!

[luckow]

@jdaviescoates Yes. It is possible to connect both simultaneously. The usability in that case is not intuitive. But hey: you can

[jdaviescoates]

@luckow thanks, I may still have a play around with Collabora (like that odf native), but having read around a bit more it seems Collabora does everything on the server which makes collaborative editing slow and cumbersome, so probably just going to stick with ONLYOFFICE

Collabora on Cloudron seems quite out of date. It is current at version 4.0-2 on Cloudron whereas there is version 4.2 of CODE is available. Is there any plans to push an update?

Even if 4.2 might be seem as too recent, it would be quite good to at least have 4.0.9 as quite a lot of bugs have been fixed.

[nebulon]

The app now got updated to 4.2

Thanks for this, HUGE performance boost!

@nebulon

Hello,

Collabora CODE has received a few updates (now at 4.2.0-5) since last updated on Cloudron (4.2.0). Might be worth pushing an update as there are a few quite annoying bugs which have been addressed. As always, thanks!

[nebulon]

I've pushed the 4.2.1 update for CODE now

[avatar1024]

@nebulon Amazing, thanks!

[avatar1024]

Hello,

There have been a couple of recent bugfix updates on Collabora which might be worth pushing on Cloudron. CODE now at 4.2.2-2.

Many thanks

[nebulon]

Thanks for the reminder, I've published the updated package now.

[avatar1024]

@nebulon Hello, heads up that 4.2.3 out Sorry posting here as there isn't a package update thread for this yet.

[nebulon]

Thanks for the heads up, I've pushed the new version now.
