moving to framework

Reassign issue to owner of selected subcomponent ui

Netscape is dead.  Think "Mozilla".

Yes, there should be a Mozilla plugin.

I guess more than half of this plugin already exists.

The HTML DevelopersGuide for the OpenOffice SDK was originally a SXG
(master document) containing SXW files, it has been transformed by a
officeless XSL transformation.

Therefore, we already have the stylesheets 

http://xml.openoffice.org/sx2ml/

Unfortunately these stylesheets on that page are a little deprecated
and I currently work for an update of this page (download of latest
version, etc.), as even the OOo1.1 XHTML filter version has already
been enhanced.

I also took a look at the Mozilla Plugin SDK, but only DLL can be added, 
no JAR containing the stylesheets can be added (a XML parser and
processor are part of JDK1.4). 
Even contents (XML files, pictures) can be accessed by a JAR URL over
Mozilla, so no unzipping is explicit necessary.

I would be very delighted if someone could take over the DLL part
(and/or assist me with my stylesheets :) 

I received this from Art:

Try to see these Mozilla bugs :)

Open StarOffice/OpenOffice.org files in Mozilla

DocBook, OpenOffice.org etc.

TM->BH: Please have a look, thanks !

If all can see OOo files, all will know OOo.
Think about it.

Though a tad simplistic, the basic idea is correct.  This is how PDF became
popular.  Adobe distributed their reader far and wide.

I don't understand why the corresponding Mozilla issue is setup for "Mozilla
Future".  Is it THAT difficult to add this?  It shouldn't be.  The XSLT to
convert SXW to HTML is already written.

Please have a look, thanks!

To credman: umm, the web page looks good -- how about a download link? :-)

With the usual caveats, of course.  Appropriate only for testing purposes. 

Check this out, re: Plug-in deployed in Java --
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/blackwood/java-plugins/

Clearly a work in progress.  Connecting with this should be simplified because
this is also a Sun contribution.

P.S., Maybe credman would Accept this and set it as Started.

This feature will be integrated into the version OO.o 2.0. The spec is in work
and will be filed soon in this issue. Please stay tuned.I set it on started (in
progress).

SUS->BH: Be aware, that the plugin that has been requested here, is demanded as
stand alone plugin (without an StarOffice/OpenOffice installation)
AFAIK the current solution requires an installation on a machine.

Talked to Lutz Hoeger, he stated that most probably only the linked plugin
(usable only for a installed Office version) will be targeted here for OOo2.0.
Hopefully someone of the community is able to create a stand alone viewer via
XSLT. The pluglet API approach seems promising. 
I gonna update the strict XHTML1.0 XSLT stylesheet as part of the childworkspace
XSLTFILTER03 I going to start today.

Only a stand alone plugin (view/print) can popularize the OOo file formats.

according to http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7690
this issue will be set to OOoLater

FT: Please have a look under
http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/desktop_integration/ooo_mozilla_plugin.sxw
for a detailed specification of a Mozilla plugin to view OO.org doxcuments.
Nevertheless this still requires an OO.org installed.
I know that many people request a stand-alone plugin but this is not doable for 2.0

 

Take a look at this model:

What is Visioo-Writer ?

Visioo-Writer is a free OpenOffice.org and OpenDocument file viewer.
The project is to create a multi-operating sytem, multi-language, fast and
simple to use program, for the smallest possible size. 

<http://visioo-writer.tuxfamily.org/EN/>

Can we use it like a plug-in?

Some newletters are spreading the word on this much wanted plugin:

http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=12685

Openoffice pretends to support xforms. Everything (?) can be exported in xforms
(xhtml?). 

For firefox is already a xforms (xhtml) plugin available. 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xforms/

The weird thing is that the openoffice xforms are not be able to be displayed
with the firefox xforms plugin.

Is this a new issue/enhancement or a workaround for this issue when the
openoffice xhtml will be made compatible with the xforms firefox plugin?

ODF in Firefox:

http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/2006/01/odf_in_firefox.html

ODF reader for Firefox:
http://groups.google.de/group/netscape.public.mozilla.general/browse_thread/thread/67afb5328e133805/6afc8cf7eee392ae

We have an internal prototype ready. It needs some improvements, especially for
Impress and Calc and it needs to be adapted to Firefox 2.0.
Svante, as you are the owner of the prototype, please take this one over.
Perhaps you can give a "roadmap" for the plugin here.

This is still marked as New. I see 2 ODF plugins for Firefox for viewing ODF
files, and it seems OOo also installs a plugin. This is what currently opens
.odt files at present in FF3beta. I had installed ODF Reader on FF2, but it is
currently disabled as incompatible with FF3beta.

ODFReader ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1888 ) 
is what this issue asks for, AFAIK, though incomplete and buggy.I expect a full
implementation would be a big plugin. It's up to the Mozilla crew to decide if
such a plugin, when mature, be made default, but if it's too big, perhaps not.
The existing OOo plugin is a good way to get it to people, as they have no
reason to click an .odt file link if they don't have OOo. PDF is better for
read-only documents. But a standalone plugin for .odp presentations might not be
a bad idea.

odfPlugin ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5907 )
transforms ODF files into HTML pages, so a little different.

Would be perfect for that stubborn professor of yours who doesn't want to
install OpenOffice.org on his brand new MacBookPro w/ 200GB free space, and who
still rants about you not using MS Word "as everyone else" / you only providing
an overly simplified RTF version of your document, along with a non-editable,
full layout PDF export

All, if you are interested in a standalone ODF viewer you should IMHO ask Adobe
to include an ODF view in Adobe Reader. This would make the acceptance of ODF as
widespread as PDF almost instantly.

They did it:
http://www.codeplex.com/OpenXMLViewer

1) OpenXML is the MS crap, not ODF
2) Adobe Viewer is junk
