WOPI-Action Administration

1 Initial Problem

Currently, you can only activate WOPI and enter the Discovery URL in the administration. An info message shows the file extensions for which "edit" actions are currently available.

However, WOPI enables more actions than just "edit" actions; the list of possible actions is as follows:

 <xs:simpleType name="st_wopi-action-values">
   <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
     <xs:enumeration value="view" />
     <xs:enumeration value="edit" />
     <xs:enumeration value="mobileView" />
     <xs:enumeration value="embedview" />
     <xs:enumeration value="embededit" />
     <xs:enumeration value="present" />
     <xs:enumeration value="presentservice" />
     <xs:enumeration value="attend" />
     <xs:enumeration value="attendservice" />
     <xs:enumeration value="editnew" />
     <xs:enumeration value="imagepreview" />
     <xs:enumeration value="interactivepreview" />
     <xs:enumeration value="formsubmit" />
     <xs:enumeration value="formedit" />
     <xs:enumeration value="rest" />
     <xs:enumeration value="preloadview" />
     <xs:enumeration value="preloadedit" />
     <xs:enumeration value="rtc" />
     <xs:enumeration value="getinfo" />
     <xs:enumeration value="convert" />
     <xs:enumeration value="syndicate" />
     <xs:enumeration value="legacywebservice" />
     <xs:enumeration value="collab" />
     <xs:enumeration value="formpreview" />
     <xs:enumeration value="documentchat" />
   </xs:restriction>
 </xs:simpleType>

2 Conceptual Summary

The settings for WOPI can currently be found in the administration under "Extending ILIAS" and "Third Party Software". All WOPI settings will now be a separate administration item in the menu under "Extending ILIAS". This now contains two tabs as a result of the implementation:

• Settings (previous form for entering the WOPi discovery URL)
• Actions

The new Actions tab contains the administration of the available actions provided by the WOPi discovery URL. The following action types are supported in a first version:

• edit
• view
• convert

The tab contains a UI\Table\Presentation with the respective title (consisting of file extension and action) and additional data, such as the target format for convert actions.

The following actions are available as multi and single actions:

• Activate/deactivate (depending on status)

By deactivating an action, it is no longer available for components that want to edit or display a file via the action.

Above the table there is a UI\Filter for filtering by "File extension" (text), action (select) and status (select).
