Document with attachments is opened in XPage. I want to edit attachment in associated program (say MS Word or Excel) and save changes back to Notes document.
I am aware of webdav configuration, but it have significant caveats: attachments are no longer stored within related document and security is controlled by ACL and not RN/AN.
How to edit document attachments in web client? Did any of you implemented such feature?
WebDAV is the way to go. There's an implementation that can read/write DominonAttachments. Soon on OpenNTF
Given that it would have to be opened in another program such as word / excel I'm not sure if this is possible, for example if your looking to save edits then you would need to know when someone saves the doc in word /excel etc.
You can attach a file download control to a domino doc field, when you do this it will display all attachments, when in edit mode you can delete these attachments, I think the only way this would work would be to enable them to delete / re upload, which is a fairly common thing to do on most web applications I would think
The tool we use, with recent improvements for XPages, is Swing: http://www.swingsoftware.com/
We checked many others, without success.

When I attach a link in an email using harmon.ie, I get an url that includes the file name. However when the recipient clicks it, it starts to download a copy instead of opening the actual SharePoint document.
The link is typically on this format:
[company].sharepoint.com/sites/[subsite]/[library]/[filename.docx]
The same link retrieved directly from SharePoint would look something like this:
[company].sharepoint.com/:w:/s/sites/[subsite]/EZ31C3wRKuVPnOOB7vNGMsMBiI9eYAjGTuiaEODu_c3wpw
That link will typically open the document in SharePoint as expected.
It did not use to be like this. The links from harmon.ie used to open documents instead of downloading copies. I am afraid I cannot say when we discovered this, but I believe it was a couple of months ago. We are using the free plan, and are not qualified for support from harmon.ie. We were pointed in the direction of this forum, and I would be most grateful if someone could help us.
Thanks

Harmon.ie creates plain valid links to Sharepoint document and they are opened by default browser (like any link you will add inside an email)
The behavior is only controlled by the browser not by harmon.ie (you can check it out by adding the url in the browser)
The only solution to control the behavior is to use the feature to generate OWA link so that it opens in Office online.
Indeed, we have feature allowing to create links that will open in OWA (hence in the browser)
Please read carefully register key: GenerateOWALinks as detailed at https://harmon.ie/provision-harmonie-outlook-all-users
Note also that if the recipient of the email has harmon.ie installed, he can right click on the link, select Open in Harmon.ie. The document will appear in harmon.ie sidebar (at the Sharepoint location), double clicking on it with open the document in MS Word.
Thanks,

I'm looking to use Redmine for document management. I know that Redmine is not ideal for this task but there is already a lot of content on the site so I'd like to utilize it if possible.
Redmine currently does not a have great documents module. The files we've uploaded look to be amended on that specific page and it doesn't seem to be able to move to another page (unless you download and re-upload to the proper page).
Idea 1
I see there is a Files section, which could work as a central repository (and you can upload document based on release) however, is there a way to set up a nice-looking 'front-end' page that automatically updates based on new submissions to the Files tab? I envision this front end to be a simple wiki page with the document name, a short description and a links to the file posted in the Files tab.
There are so many documents uploaded to varying pages on the Redmine site. I would only do the whole download and re-upload of files if there was a way to automatically update the 'front end' wiki.
Idea 2
I see there is a DMSF plugin for Redmine. Has anyone used this before and has is solved document management issues? I'd like to hear your feedback. Even if DMSF doesn't totally solve my issue, anything is better than what I have now.
Thanks!
In my opinion DMSF module is a perfect companion for Redmine. We have adopted it in our company. You can easily deal with document versions, webdav access, custom approval workflow, document modifications notification with the extra value of being well integrated with Redmine features (roles, dynamic links in Wiki and issue text and notes).
If I open a doc in read only mode I'm able to press save and then it opens up a save as box and the default directory is the directory on the sharepoint server and if you press save you save it to the server.
This actually makes the whole process not really "read only" mode since I could actually update the document.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening so that if someone chooses read only there is no way possible to updload any changes back to the sharepoint site?
Also, it has been suggested as a solution to get rid of the edit/read only option so that people have to check out the document. Is there a way to remove the edit/read only option on documents?
Rather than relying on the client software to prevent saving, you need to modify the permissions on the server - give the user read only access to the document or even the whole list. That way they will get an access denied error if they try what you describe or uploading a different file with the same name.
The Read-only and Edit prompt are driven by SharePoint and a setting in the DOCICON.XML file. If you have added PDF as a Document extension inside the DOCICON.XML you will need to also add an additional attribute in the line and that is opencontrol=”” this seems to stop SharePoint from applying it's header to open the document.
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="icpdf.gif" OpenControl=""/>

(Edit : Sorry I have not tested this on SharePoint 2007 only SharePoint 2010)
First off, I'm new to Sharepoint. When I open up a document in read-only mode I can in fact change the document and save it. When I save the file, Is this normal? Do I need to do something to make it so nobody can edit a file in read-only mode?
Any help will be appreciated.
When you open a document a document, you actually download it to your computer and open it in the appropriate application. What this app lets you do then is not related to SharePoint.
What you can do is set up permissions in the document library so that only some people can add/edit documents and others can only read. This way, the latter will be able to open the documents, do whatever they want with it and not write the modified version back.
Is it possible to create a SharePoint (wss3 or MOSS 2007) webpart, to allow files to be dragged and dropped onto it, which would then upload the files into a predefined document library ?
I imagine that this would require some form of client side scripting (Ajax ?), but my knowledge in ajax is a bit sketchy.
From my exploration so far, I'm thinking:
User drags file onto 'drop zone' Webpart.
This action triggers some code
This code Loads the file into a SharePoint library (like this : Uploading a File to SharePoint)
Any pointers would be gratefully recieved
Many thanks.

Well,
What I'd do is, like you said, a web part with javascript that allow the user to drag and drop some files into a zone inside the webpart. Once the user has finished I'll upload those files after click on a Button of the webpart. I think is better to work with SharePoint in an unique transaction and not upload and delete files using AJAX. So, the drag and drop functionality can be done using some kind of javascript like Scriptaculous and the other one like a classic postback.
You might also want to look at another way to perform this. If you do it in a webpart, you will need to add that webpart in every sites where you want this fonctionnality to work. You might want to try Sharegate (www.share-gate.com). It's a end user tool that allows you to drag and drop file from your computer (or any SharePoint list / library) to any SharePoint library. By dropping the document inside the library, you will be ask to select a property template where you can define all the properties attach to your document. Not only you will drag and drop documents, but you will structure the information at the same time. Hope this was helpful!
Perhaps my reply is little bit irrelevant to your post!
I think upload files to SharePoint is not a painstaking job, the build-in feature is enough for us to upload files.
The trouble, I think, lies in the check in process, may be that is what you should do!
Altought maybe not that important now, but there is a SharePoint addon on CodePlex now
that allows files to be uploaded by Drag & Drop into SharePoint document libraries.
Available here: http://dndupload.codeplex.com/
Works in Firefox & Chrome, uses FileApi from HTML5, supports both SharePoint 2007 & 2010.
