SharePoint 2013 Unable to Open Documents from Ribbon when WOPI is Configured and Library Default open behavior for browser-enabled documents is Open in the client application
It appears to be an IE issue when clicking on the New Document Drop down from the ribbon using fiddler4 there are not any results returned, probably jscript or jquery … I am running IE11 and I have tested IE10 which exhibits the same behavior. I haven’t tested on earlier versions yet.
However, if you open with Mozilla the Microsoft Office is blocked until you Allow Mozilla to open Office Documents and then Default open behavior for browser-enabled documents works as expected. In other words when the library is set to open ion the browser (via WOPI) the documents open in the browser, when set to open in the client application, the docs open in the client as expected..
1. Click On Allow
2. Then choose to Allow remember
3. Then choose OK,
4. Click on New Document one more time to open from the ribbon
Note: this only occurs if you have WAC installed and configured WOPI with SharePoint. Also, you only have to go to library settings to set the Default open behavior for browser-enabled documents: to Open in the client application, you don’t have to set the site collection… I will resolve as time permits
Cheers,
