HAP+ Office Plugins?

[nickbro]

Hey guys/gals, just wanted to get your feedback on something I started playing with last night:

Looks brilliant well done

Very nice; that'll make things easier for staff at home. Obviously more useful to those not fully using 365 but could very well compliment it. Will watch this development closely

[nickbro]

Exactly, I'm using the O365 sharepoint integration more and more, useful for files not sync'd on that

 

Alpha build:

 

Word 2013 Add-in - nb development

[Wubbalubbadub]

Wow.. Love it!!!

[fairm010]

Still on 2010 here, does 2010 have this kind of Plug-In availability?

[nickbro]

It probably does, but I'm 2013 only now (even at work thanks to EES), so don't have 2010 to test against. You may find the plugin works with office 2010 but I cannot guarantee that.

I'll give it a try during the summer. Is it a client that needs rolling out to each machine?

[Boredguy]

Might give it a try on 2016 when I get in...

[nickbro]

It would need installing on each machine you wanted to use it on. I can provide a ZIP of the installation to make it quicker (saves having to do the trusted site hack)

[fairm010]

If you would Nick that would be great. I'll just copy it out to where it needs to go.

That looks very interesting - opening directly from HAP and clicking Save to resync (as with a OneDrive document) would save us no end of grief with students coming in and discovering that yes, you need to re-upload your document when done. So long as the installation is nice and straightforward for them to manage at home...

[nickbro]

The only issue with installation directly from the web is adding nbdev.uk to the trusted sites list, it will even auto updated every 7 days or so

[Boredguy]

Just for info, I gave it a test in Word 2016 and it just sat at the loading screen with the progress bar flashing away at the bottom.

[nickbro]

Hmm, make sure the url you use is https://hap.school.domain/hap/ <- end with a forward slash

[Boredguy]

With or without the trailing / makes little difference for 2016 so far. It crashed.

 

It could just be the preview build though and not your plugin but thought I'd give it a test anyway
