There is a good chance this is a localization issue — currently it is only localized for en-US. I would refer to this discussion topic regarding localization and see if it resolves your issue.

http://officefiletypes.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=58077

If not, you may want to look through your ULS logs for more specific error messages.

Hello,

I’m getting an error while trying to open a library (after office file types activation), all the stsadm commands were successful. Can it be language issue? (MOSS 2007 Polish)

Thanks.

Nick,

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll plan on looking at this again soon and get these issues resolved.

Hi Paul!

Great solution to a very common issue. End-users like it very much. I have to friendly comments/suggestions:

1. I found that if I changed the default document template for an xls file, I lost the button for the new Word Document, probably because the Regex finds a match on the document library URL /Docs/Forms/Template.xls. Perhaps performing the match on only the file extension would resolve the issue.
2. I created a custom list template that does not use the default document content type and it does not work. If I may, I suggest to get the current folder’s default content type instead (CurrentFolder.ContentTypeOrder[0]).

Thanks again, that is great work.

I responded on Codeplex — but I’ll put the same response here too. After deploying the solution, it would put the .resx files under the 12 hive / resources folder. For example, officefiletypes.en-US.resx and officefiletypes.resx are the two that are supplied by default.

Hey Paul,
Great little addition, but where do I go and what files do I need to change to localise this? ie, to Swedish, French, German, whatever…

Thanks

Sherry,

The way I debugged the code when working on it was to attach to the browser session using Visual Studio and the set breakpoints in the javascript code.

Great solution. I just wanted to customize the code so that it uses a custom document template when the application launches. I want to implement this by modifying the clientonclickscript, but I’m not sure how to debug this. How do I go about debugging this code?
