Hello all.

I'd like to use ARI Docs Viewer to display OpenOffice docs (.odt) in a website for bilingual students in Guatemala. OO seems to be the only way my docs can contain video and audio.

I installed pkg_aridocsviewer in my localhost Joomla 3.6.5 website on Win 10.

PDF files exported from OpenOffice Writer display properly, eg: {aridoc engine="pdfjs" width="100%" height="100%"}images/docs/Sample.pdf{/aridoc}

But when I try to dipslay the same document in .odt format: {aridoc engine="pdfjs" width="600" height="800"}docs/Sample.odt{/aridoc}
I get:
An error occurred
We're sorry, but for some reason we can't open this for you.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem? I'd love to get this working for my indigenous students!

Thanks,
Buz

Hello,

PDFJS viewer can show only PDF files. Try to use "Google Docs" viewer for OpenOffie documents:

Thanks for your reply. I copied incorrectly, it should have been:
{aridoc engine="office" width="100%" height="100%"}images/docs/Sample.odt{/aridoc}

Also, OO Presentation doesn't work.
{aridoc engine="office" width="100%" height="100%"}images/docs/TestPres.odp{/aridoc}
fails with the same error.
So it seems to be a problem with Office.

I love Google Docs, but can't use it in this case. The schools in GT don't have internet access.

"office" is also online service and it can work only with Microsoft Office documents.

So "Office doc viewer" is for MS only?

extensions.joomla.org/extension/ari-docs-viewer/ has:


How can I use these?

Thanks,

The extension supports different viewers:

- "Google Docs" is an online service which can show various documents including Open Office documents. Use engine="google" parameter.

- "Microsoft Office" is an online service which works with Microsoft Office documents. Use engine="office' parameter.

- "PDFJS" viewer. It can show only PDF documents, but it doesn't require access to any online service.

so only "Google Docs" viewer can be used to show Open Office documents.
