GNOME Documents integration

[jancborchardt]

I was talking to @cosimoc about integration with GNOME Documents. For Google Drive for example, they show the document using a WebkitView, to allow for collaboration and such.

That would also be possible for ownCloud Documents. The first part of the path owncloud/index.php/apps/documents could be hardcoded, but the #338 (or the relevant document ID) we need a way to get to.

Is there an API for that already @VicDeo, or an extended WebDAV attribute? cc @DeepDiver1975

we already communicate the fileid via webdav - no idea if this is enough @VicDeo

Here is an example from cadaver:

dav:/owncloud/master/remote.php/webdav/> propget welcome.txt
Fetching properties for `welcome.txt':
http://owncloud.org/ns id = 00000005oc9dc772cf81
http://owncloud.org/ns permissions = RDNVW
DAV: getetag = "53c697b383d0e"
DAV: getlastmodified = Fri, 11 Jul 2014 13:02:21 GMT
DAV: getcontentlength = 163
DAV: resourcetype = 
DAV: getcontenttype = text/plain
dav:/owncloud/master/remote.php/webdav/>

http://owncloud.org/ns id = 00000005oc9dc772cf81

this is the webdav property holding the file id

@jancborchardt
in the URL owncloud/index.php/apps/documents#338
338 is fileId because it is

• unique
• consistent between different users.

Hash is used internally to identify a document that has collaborators currently.

Ahh great! @cosimoc you can build the URL like this:

• 1st part: the address from GOA, like https://example.com/owncloud/
• 2nd part: index.php/apps/documents#
• 3rd part: section from the ID from the WebDAV request before the »oc«: From 00000338oc55432f2bac it would be 338

[DeepDiver1975]

to clearify the file id as we see it in the webdav property:
it is composed of the fileid as it can be seen in the database and the ownCloud instance id
