Craig, that sounds easy enough - develop components for the intranet that will display content from WSS libraries, and include javascript to open the documents properly in office. However, what about saving documents? A user will not know how to save to a site - they will try to save to the intranet from within word, and will not see the WSS libraries (or anything for that matter). There are other worrying details that you may need to consider - but this one needs answering.
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig Bailey Sent: Tuesday, 23 September 2008 1:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] Using Windows SharePoint Services from a non-MOSS intranet page Hi there, Just wondering if anyone has come across this scenario before. We have a client with an intranet (non MOSS) that lists Word documents. They'd like to integrate this with Office (ie just like SharePoint does :)). They don't want to install MOSS, but would be open to using WSS (since it can easily be installed on their server). One option is of course to move all their documents over to WSS and get them to use that, but they'd prefer never to see the WSS site. I'm wondering if there is a way that they could hook into the WSS services from their own intranet application and somehow pass through the requests to WSS. I imagine the documents would be stored in WSS and somehow linked to from their intranet. Has anyone done this before? The ideal user experience is that they click to edit a document on their intranet, and behind the scenes it uses WSS to manage the document opening in Word, and then any updates from Word getting saved back to WSS, and this in turn updated back to the intranet. WSS does all the document handling well, so I'm trying to save them re-writing all that nice Office integration stuff in their own app. Thanks, Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.craigbailey.net |+61 413 489 388 | twitter.com/craigbailey Don't miss August de los Reyes at SBTUG this Wed<http://www.craigbailey.net/live/post/2008/09/14/SBTUG-Next-Wed-24-Sep-2008-ndash3b-August-de-los-Reyes-Mitch-Denny.aspx> ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzMOSS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
