DirectEdit Publisher documents

[DarrelT]

Hi

 

I have users who want to be able to use DirectEdit with Publisher files. I have added a filter, but the option still isn't available. When I look at the properties of a Publisher document in My Files, it lists it as null(.pub).

 

Can this be done? If so, what additional steps do I need to take?

 

Thanks

It's hardcoded for only xls|doc|ppt files (and their x versions) To edit this, open ~/myfiles/default.aspx and look for

.Extension.match(/(xls|doc|ppt)/gi)

You should find 3 instances of this

.Extension.match(/(xls|doc|ppt|pub)/gi)

will enable publisher

Great thanks for the response Nick. I have the option to DirectEdit now, but I get an error saying Invalid file type for secure download .pub. Any ideas why? Thank you.

Once again, hardcoded into the direct edit app, you will need to download the source and use VS to build the DirectEdit app with the corrections to the allowed file types
