.riess Date Browser is an Extension for OpenOffice.org / StarOffice and provides date browsing and date
picking functionality within OpenOffice.org.

This allows a comfortable way for looking up a date using a calendar view. A nifty tool for all users filling in
dates into documents often.

This tool has been created by .riess applications gmbh based on tools dedicated to improve and simplify
developing for OpenOffice.org in the programming language java such as “Java Macro Plugin” and “Java
Uno Wrapper”.

Changelog:

  • Version 4.0.1 fixing a gui bug leading to wrong calendar presentations sometimes
  • Version 4.0.0 now supports all OpenOffice.org modules.

Anyone know where can I download?

When I click on Get iT! I do not get directed to an active link for this download. After some searching on the web I found the following link which seems to be a valid download for the extension : https://www.riess.de/DE/index.php?ordner=center&uordner=Download-01&datei=1-4-1_applications However when I unzip the downloaded file I cannot find a RiessDateBrowser.oxt file anywhere. The nearest thing I can see is a RiessDateBrowser.jar file. I extracted the files from this with IZArc but this didn't reveal any .oxt files just a bunch of .class files.

Can anyone help me to get beyond this point and complete the installation of the extension?

This is a very useful tool for providing fast access to inserting fixed dates in a document.

I have noticed however what appears to be a minor bug in the functionality. When a year value is selected, the date value is correctly inserted into the document. When the calendar widget is displayed again, this new value of the year is remembered and displayed in the selection box, but the actual year value used is the current year, not the last used value.

May I also suggest a couple of changes which might enhance the usability of the tool:
1) Would it be possible to remember the last used date format, rather than having to select this every time is using the non-default value.
2) A method of inserting today's date would be useful too.

I can't open it. What do I put in as the file name?

Hi
Does anybody know how I can set a keyboard shortcut to start the date browser?
Thanks!

Trying to uninstall the Date Browser I receive a couple of error messages. All are something like:

Add Extension(s):
General input/output error while accessing
/home/username/.openoffice.org/3/.../zKNAIj_/riess_date_browser.oxt/Jobs-xcu

Firstly, the message was that ../zKNAIj_/riess_date_browser.oxt/Jobs-xcu does not exist, so I created it. But now the above error occurs.

Ignoring the messages seems to uninstall, but the Menue ".riss" remains.
What can I do to get rid of the extension, totally?

I have the same problem as Eva below: The "RiessDateBrowser.oxt" file does not show up after unzipping the downloaded file.
Who can tell me how to install the extension correctly?

Open up OpenOffice. Click on Tools. Down near the bottom of the list is Extension Manager. Click on it. The extension manager box opens up. There is a add button which you click on. Next you will have to find out where you downloaded it too. The rest you should be able to figure out yourself.

When I press "Get it!", I am sent to this download-page: http://www.riess.de/EN/?mitte=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.riess.de%2FEN%2Fcenter%2FDownload-01%2F1-4-1_applications.html%23Date_Browser
Here I find just one Download-link. This downloads riess_Date_Browser.zip. When I pack up this file, it is not containing the RiessDateBrowser.oxt needed for installation.
Where can I find it?

On OX5 iMac this extension does not work. It puts 2 shortcut buttons into the system (why you'd need two I can't even guess at) but neither works.

If you want to delete the extension make certain you disable it first, or it will cause OpenOffice3 to crash.

We could reproduce your bug on borrowed mac hardware (Mac Book pro - Leopard) and getting an error like:

Apple AWT Java VM was loaded on first thread -- can't start AWT.
java.lang.InternalError: Can't start the AWT because Java was started on the first thread. Make sure StartOnFirstThread is not specified in your application's Info.plist or on the command line

and did some researching with that information. The recognized behaviour of our extensions seems to be caused by issue 92926 of ooo issues.
Sorry for that, but it is not in our influence, when this would be fixed.
Best regards
Lothar

does it approache to OOo 3.0?
if no, when to expect?

Yes, Riess Date Browser is tested on OpenOffice.org 3.0 and should run perfectly.
