Default No Import Button in Documents

I have just recently installed Zimbra 6.0 on CentOS 5. There is no "Import" button in the "Documents" section in the Web Client.

I am running the following:

Release 6.0.4_GA_2038.RHEL5_20091214191028 CentOS5 FOSS edition.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Default ????

I've searched through the forum and on the web and can't find and answer to this problem. I have seen a couple people that reported this same issue but neither of them have a fix posted. I'm also not sure if this is normal for the open source edition.

Again, any help would be appreciated.

I checked the Documents tab myself and dont see an import button, I think there's been one in the past, but I dont know if it's supposed to be there still. Do you have any examples that show that the button should actually exist?

I just saw it (the 'Import' button) in some of the documentation I found. Can excel and word documents be imported into the 'Documents' area for collaboration or do you have to create new documents and just copy and paste?

Thanks

Default Document Imports

"19 Import Documents

Zimbra Documents has a very cool feature which allows you to import documents – PDF, Word documents, MS Excel files, HTML documents etc – right into a Notebook. To import a document, select a Notebook. In the Documents menu, click on the Import button to import the document. In the window that pops up, click on the Browse button and select the file you want to import from your computer. Then click OK to complete the import. You should have a new Page created with the contents of the document you just imported."

This is what I found regarding Document Imports.

Is this function no longer available?

Is it actually enabled: Empty Documents Tab also see comment #6 in this bug report: Bug 32403 – Import button missing under Document tab

For those on the OSS version the Import button is an NE feature.

It still didn't work for me. I might put in a ticket to resolve this issue. If its supposed to be there, but it doesn't show up there might be an issue with my install.

The feature has been quietly removed, see Bug 40995 – Unable to import files into Documents Notebook

It looks like a more robust replacement is planned: Bug 41868 – Convert (import/export) from popular document formats to edit via Zimbra AJAX editors
