ONLYOFFICE connector now supports ownCloud Web

Great news everyone!

Version 7.1.1 of ONLYOFFICE connector supports the new Web interface for one of the best sync&share solutions ever.

What is ownCloud Web

ownCloud Web is a single-page standalone frontend based on modern web technologies.

ownCloud Web was made to match the speed and scalability of the upcoming ownCloud Infinite Scale, but you can use it together with version 10.6.

At the moment you can bring the new interface to your server installing the extension from the official marketplace or compiling it from source code.

Using ONLYOFFICE with ownCloud Web

The connector for ownCloud Web is built into the official ONLYOFFICE ownCloud integration app.

To enable editing documents within ownCloud web, register the connector in the ownCloud Web config.json:

• If you installed ownCloud Web from the marketplace, the path is <owncloud-root-catalog>/config/config.json
• If you compiled it from source code yourself using this instruction, the path is <owncloud-web-root-catalog>/config/config.json.

To register the connector, use these lines:

"external_apps": [
{
"id": "onlyoffice",
"path": "http(s):///custom/onlyoffice/js/web/onlyoffice.js",
}
]

If you want to compile the connector for ownCloud Web yourself, see instructions on GitHub.
