Change text of read only message.

[nstensland]

Is there a way to change the text of "Someone else is currently editing this file and thus, it was opened as read-only." Sometimes this is misleading in our system because some files are just read only (never editable). We use HTTP 423 to communicate this. Is there a better way to make some files "ready-only" in Oxygen or is there a way to change the message? I have the oxyen web-dav client plugin downloaded from git and we are using a custom web-dav server if that helps.

Thanks,
Nat

Hello,

Web Author interprets some headers sent by the WebDAV server, such as: "oxygen_read_only" and "oxygen_read_only_reason".

The first one, if present signals that the file is read-only, while the second one can specify a string to be displayed on the yellow stripe.

More details here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Edit ... NLY_HEADER .

That worked great. Any way to suppress the dialog box which popups (not the yellow strip) or to change the message?

Thanks again!

Hello,

I think you might have to implement a Java plugin to solve this issue [1]. You should register a WebappEditingSessionLifecycleListener[2] that does something like below:

Code: Select all

new WebappEditingSessionLifecycleListener() {     

      @Override

      public void editingSessionStarted(String sessionId, AuthorDocumentModel documentModel) {

        ReadOnlyReason readOnlyReason = ((IWebappAuthorEditorAccess)documentModel.getAuthorAccess().getEditorAccess()).getReadOnlyReason();

        if (isNotLocked(readOnlyReason)) {

          documentModel.getMessageProvider().clearMessages();

        }

      }

    };

Best,
Cristian

Hello,

I am updating this thread to let you know that Oxygen XML Web Author v21.1 is now released and that now the correct message is displayed when a file is opened as read-only.

Here is a list of what is new in this version: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_web_author/whats_new.html
