SOLVED I seem to only be able to create md files, or edit existing md files. Nothing else.

[scooke]

The default Nextcloud install includes a odf file which I had created when I had the CODE app installed from within Nextcloud. I uninstalled the CODE app, installed the Cloudron OnlyOffice app (not the Enterprise), then installed the OnlyOffice Connector (I guess that worked?) but now I can only create or edit md files. When I try to edit that odf file it starts to download. What gives? Aren't I supposed to be able to create/edit OOXML, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV, TXT files?? Did I miss something??

[nebulon]

@scooke have you configured the onlyoffice connector plugin successfully in the Nextcloud settings?

[scooke]

@nebulon Yes, followed the instructions, haven't received any error messages.

My security key contains special characters... could this be messing something up?

Strange. I was thinking it'd be so straightforward.

I haven't entered anything in the Advanced settings, I just clicked it open.

@scooke once you've successfully connected to your OpenOffice app, you get more options under the server settings where you choice which file types you want to use it for:

[scooke]

@jdaviescoates I'll check that out. Thank you.
EDIT: I don't have those options visible, yet the Only office Cloudron app and NC app are all installed. Weird.

[girish]

@scooke Are you able to reproduce this in the demo cloudron ? https://my.demo.cloudron.io (username/password: cloudron)

[scooke]

@girish Everything set up perfectly, the first time, immediately, in the demo cloudron.

I thought my secret was too long, so I shortened it (and restarted the OO app). Now, the additional file associations options are visible. I suspect my install is now working. I guess the secret was too long? It was initially 21 characters long with 2 punctuation characters. I removed the punctuation, and it still didn't respond (and restarted the app). This time, I just totally changed the secret to 15 characters, restarted the OO app, and now it seems to work.

[jdaviescoates]

@scooke my secret is currently 30 characters long and has punctuation, so I don't think that was your issue.

[scooke]

@jdaviescoates The two were a ( and a ^. It's the only thing that changed. Oh well.

[nebulon]

@scooke still good to know about the limitation.

[jdaviescoates]

@nebulon I doubt there is either a length/ punctuation limitation myself. My guess is it's more likely human error and @scooke accidentally typoed or something beforehand (I do such things all the time, especially as I've recently changed laptop and so the keyboard and mousepad are different)

[scooke]

@jdaviescoates Highly unliekly.

unliekly

I presume that one was on purpose?!

[scooke]

@jdaviescoates I couldn't resist.

That's totally an upstream bug..

Given I have a longer secret a typo is more likley.

[scooke]

@jdaviescoates Well, try inserting a ( or a ^. For that matter, I will try it actually. EDIT: Well, I've tried all three combos (just the ^, just the (, and both), and each time it still worked. I supposed it was a typo.

[robi]

@scooke you type 21 character secrets?

[scooke]

@robi Nope, I use my cloudron-supplied Vaultwarden to generate the secret, then I copy and paste it. I save it in a Secure Note in Bitwarden. The copy-and-paste is why I feel sure it wasn't a typo. Whatever the problem, it resolved itself. I restarted the app after each change, but maybe I didn't wait long enough for the startup to finish.
