Hi,

Is it not possible to use Fluenta with maps stored in SharePoint?

We are using Sharepoint as our repository, but when I open a map from the SharePoint Browser in the DITA Maps Manager, the Fluenta contextual menu does not materialize.
I tried downloading the same map, and the contextual menu showed up just fine, however this creates an immense manual workload.

Kind regards,
Birgitte

Hi Birgitte,

I'm afraid the Fluenta add-on for now supports only working with local files. If we manage to improve it in a future version we'll update this forum thread. Maybe as a workaround you could try to attempt to map the Sharepoint repository as a local Windows disk drive?

Hi Radu,

Thank you for your reply.

We could map the Sharepoint repository as a local disk drive, but this defeats the whole purpose of using Sharepoint (global teams).
I have found that I can use Fluenta's own tool instead.

Hi Birgitte,
And out of curiosity how does using Fluenta's own tool work in this case?

Hi Radu,

You create the project and insert the map's file directory.

Hi Birgitte,
So you still seem to need to have the contents of the DITA project locally, in this case in your one drive folder.

Hi Radu,

Oh, you are right. I guess I did not consider that to be local.

It would be great to have the feature work with the SharePoint Browser, so please do update us if you decide to implement that at some point.

Best,
Birgitte

Hi Birgitte,
Sure, any improvement we make in this regard, and I'll update this forum thread!
