SharePoint University

using MOSS 2007 and office 2003 or office 2007 all in windows XP SP2.

create tasks with atthaced files of varius extensions. (*.doc, *.xls, *dwg etc)

when the file belongs to the office suites (*.doc, *.xls) we have the ability to click on the file name, open it on-line, edit, and when you click "Save" it saves the attached file automatically to the MOSS site.

when you click on a file with a different extension, in particular autoCAD files (e.g. *.dwg) it opens it through the IE temp directory. so when you click "Save" it saves it on the local PC (\\.....\IE7\temp\.... )

the article of microsoft http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms454230(d=printer).aspx describes what to do,but i dont understand it.

what kind of file has to be created ? where to put it ?

an initial code will be aprecciated,

I have previously started an item on this item on our support site for DWG IFilter 2007. For this support site I'd like to collect information and building blocks for those who want to create an integrated experience for DWG and SharePoint.

Please read the item here: http://www.dwgifilter.com/SupportPages/Wiki%20Pages/Integrating%20DWG%20IFilter%202007%20with%20MOSSWSS.aspx and here: http://www.dwgifilter.com/SupportPages/Wiki%20Pages/How%20to%20Open%20and%20Save%20AutoCAD%20DWG%20files%20to%20SharePoint%20WSS,%20Moss.aspx - I have added the link you provided to the info as it describes the part that I was changing to get a feel of how it should be done. I prefer the approach where you change the javascript, and I'd like to keep the configurable options as built in SharePoint to trigger the new code. The new code could then change the url of the link into a WebDAV url.

I know it can be done, it needs to be done nice and gentlly to avoid unexpected results. Also it may be a good idea to put the changed functions in a custom.js (as I was told, did not look into this) to overrule the installed functions and avoid your code being taken out in a next hotfix.
I did not have the chance to spend much time on this, as I do not have a current need for the solution. Once the solution is completed I'd like to present some 'Lite' version on our support site.

So, if you like, contact me to share thoughts, or to work togather on the subject if you like.
