OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs - export & import to Google Docs, Zoho, WebDAV

I noticed that there were recent Java and OO.org updates (April 2008 - versions 5 and 2.4 respectively) and I'm not sure if those have anything to do with my problem:

I was able to import from GDocs once and then I switched my Java 6 version from 3 to 5 in the OO Tools>Options via these instructions http://docs.google.com/TeamPresent?fs=true&docid=ajg23wkfz9qn_449gt2kn8&skipauth=true&pli=1 and then I could no longer import. What occurs is that I can 'Get list' from the Google Account but nothing occurs when I click 'Open'. Export works fine. I also cannot see Google Docs menu or Toolbar buttons (nor can add button) but there is a Google Docs item in the 'File' menu; I have also referenced http://code.google.com/p/ooo2gd/wiki/KnownIssues

Amazing extension however, very nice work! I voted for the GDocs updating thing :D - I have no problem copying and pasting for the meantime, cheers!

"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.

This is a great extension, thanks for building it.

One question: when I logon to Google Docs via the browser, I get a list of all docs, whether created by me or shared by someone else.

The extension only gives me access to the docs I uploaded myself. Would it be possible to view all docs?

Thanks

Hi!

I tried using the extension behind a company firewall. All http traffic is routed through a proxy. I could not find any place to specify a proxy. Is this supported or if not a planned feature?

Since this extension is using java, where would be the spot in the extension files, in which the java app is called? I could then insert my proxy digits manually into the code...

Cheers

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.

Great ext!

But i would like it to just update a file previously uploaded instead of upload it again.
Thanks.

i installed the extension
i hit the 'Google Docs | Import from Google Docs' menu
Google User Name: have tried 'username' and 'username@gmail.com'
Google Password: ********
clicked 'Get List'

machine seems to try to connect, and then nothing. no errors, no docs.

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?

Hello, when i try to use the import command, I only see documents that I have hidden in google docs. Is there a way to see my unhidden documents? Also is there a way to see different folders?

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?

I just can't find how it works... Can anyone tell me?

Linux - to the one's who have no fear of learning

I've been trying to install this extension but halway I always get this message: "Could not create Java Implementation Loader", I cancel the process and it keeps installing but ut remains disabled.
Any clue?

While Google Docs is less than perfect (no support for landscape documents, formatting is pretty basic), this is a truly useful extension, especially since I work on a lot of documents on more than one computer, and I share documents with others who work from their homes. Thanks for making this extension!

A great Addon for OOo and SO

Nice Job

i got the following error message "Problem: no object DCH for MIME type application/atom+xml".

I'm getting this in Windows Vista.

Please post reply when this is fixed.

Thanks!!

... odt is always the default on the systems where i normally work. I will try it again later...

... i got the same problem under Linux

Hi Przemyslaw, i have tested it on Solaris. Installation worked as expected. When i try to upload a document, the dialog comes up, i could enter my data and after pressing the upload button i got the following error message "Problem: no object DCH for MIME type application/atom+xml". I used a oog680m4 (quite close to OO.org2.3) and Java 1.6. I hope this helps and welcome on board. I suggest further discussion on the dev@extensions.openoffice.org mailing list.
