Enabling OpenOffice2 Mozilla-browser plugin for Opera?
I just succeeded to get the OpenOffice2 plugin to work for Mozilla Navigator and Firefox browsers using the following procedures for OpenSuse 10.0: 1) Enabling the Mozilla-browser plugin in OOo2 options: Tools -> Options -> Internet -> Mozilla Plug-in -> Enable 2) Created the following symlinks as root: ln -s /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/libnpsoplugin.so /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/ ln -s /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/libnpsoplugin.so /opt/MozillaFirefox/lib/plugins/ Restarted Mozilla and Firefox and they became capable to display e.g OOo2 Writer .odt files 3) I tried the corresponding for Opera: ln -s /opt/openoffice.org2.0/program/libnpsoplugin.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins/ By default, Opera does start OOo2 externally to display .odt files. Telling Opera to use the pluging program instead didn't work. A message box said that the plug-in wasn't installed. (usually Opera is compatible with Netscape/Mozilla plugins) Any ideas?

A follow up: I did a corresponding test with Opera on Win2k; that is, I copied the OOo2 npsoplugin.dll to Opera plugins and it worked directly without asking to use a plugin. (I tried also to copy OOo2 libnpsoplugin.so instead of ln -s on OpenSuse, without any change). Rgds, Terje J. Hanssen
