The problem is that the headings from the installation instructions section
(at the end of the page) are not included in the Table of Contents (that is
visible at the start of the page) and thus are easy to miss. We need to fix
this.

Yes this feature setup did not changed since a while.

Thanks again Marius. I had not made it that far down the page, and it is well
explained there. I see too that in the same are it links to the xwiki 7.x
youtube video I'd found; that must mean that the video is still good for
8.x.

Re: [xwiki-users] What does "Version 8.4.3 is installed as dependency" mean?

Re connecting openoffice and xwiki, Google finds 
https://network.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/DocXE51En/OfficeImporter and a
similar page for 4.x; I can't find anything in the 8.x docs; probably missed
it (google seems to have missed it too).

The closest is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP_N5U_GIJY which is for
xwiki 7. Is the config for 7.x close enough to 8.x so that I can follow that
guidance?

In the video there is mention of an option to manage internally or
externally
#-# [Since 1.9M2]
#-# Type of the openoffice server instance used by officeimporter component.
#-# 0 - Internally managed server instance. (Default)
#-# 1 - Externally managed (local) server instance.
# openoffice.serverType=0

Does option 0 mean that xwiki will expose openoffice configuration, as far
as it pertains to xwiki?
And would option 1 mean that the admin (probably an expert) would configure
the relevant aspects of openoffice from "outside" xwiki?

Even more basic - as far as open office goes, I install oo, and configure it
to run as a service? "openoffice server" isn't a separate product if I'm not
mistaken, it's just oo configured to run in server mode?

Re: [xwiki-users] What does "Version 8.4.3 is installed as dependency" mean?

[novnovice]

Thanks for making what must have seemed to be the most obvious reply of the
recent period .

Since it seemed to me to be not installed, I couldn't interpret "is
installed" as "is installed" 

Now that you made it clear that it is bundled with 8.4.3, I see that I
missed a critical item of information on the office importer application
page: "The Office Importer requires a back-end Open Office server for its
operations."

I don't have exposure to open office for a long time now. I will check out
getting open office server set up and hopefully that will help.

Not sure if anyone has told you folks for a while - but xwiki is really
impressive. I am just scratching the surface and it is a real treat.

Re: [xwiki-users] What does "Version 8.4.3 is installed as dependency" mean?

[Thomas Mortagne]

As you can see on
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Office+Importer+Application,
Office Import is bundled in XE so you need to install it.

"Version 8.4.3 is installed as dependency" means exactly what is
written: it is installed already in version 8.4.3 and it's been
installed as a dependency of another extension.

You get downgrade button probably because you are looking at a version
of Office Import extension lower than the one installed already.

[xwiki-users] What does "Version 8.4.3 is installed as dependency" mean?

[novnovice]

I wanted to import a word document to see how it does. I have xwiki 8.4.3.

The Office Importer Application needs to be installed, as far as I can tell.
Next to it's name it says 8.3, and in the header it has "Version 8.4.3 is
installed as dependency".  It does not have the blue Install button; instead
it says "Downgrade".

Dependencies listed are 
xwiki platform - office - importer 8.3 and then "version 8.4.3 is provided"
xwiki commons - component - api and then "version 8.4.3 is provided"

I have not found anything in the docs that explain what this means, although
I expect the info is there somewhere. Does it mean that I have to downgrade
my installation to 8.3 in order to get this extension to install? But
another extension "File Manager Application" does have the blue install
button; and it has many dependencies on apparently older extensions like
velocity macro 5.4.4.

I can't make sense of it. I've searched quite a bit and haven't found
anything relevant.
