External Editor 0.7 - Don't let the date fool you

I'm stupified to present to you the long-overdue 0.7 edition of External Editor on this fine first day of April, 2003. The most distinguishing new feature is the addition of support for MS Office.

Here's the whole scoop:

  • Added working distutils setup for Unix.
  • You can now specify from the server that the helper app should borrow a lock by passing borrow_lock=1 via the request, thus suppressing the dialog box which appears by default. Thanks to Shane Hathaway.
  • Improved open file check in Word and Powerpoint plugins thanks to Yura Petrov.
  • Added plugins for Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
  • Added the man page from the Debian distro. Thanks go out to Federico Sevilla III and Andreas Tille

Huh? What?

ExternalEditor is a Zope Product and client-side helper application to connect your web browser directly to your favorite editors.

Once configured you can click on the edit icon in the ZMI and use your favorite client side applications to edit your Zope objects. Works with both text and binary data. Works with any browser that supports helper applications. Easily integrates into your Zope content management applications.

Enjoy!

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
