TikiDav allows access to the TikiWiki resources ( wiki pages, blogs, Articles...) through the WebDAV protocol. A lot of author tools like OpenOffice (OOo) and MsOffice, implements that protocol to access remote document repositories.

It's only proven to work with Tiki 1.9.x and OpenOffice .sxw document types, and some work is needed to update it to support ODF file types. It used to work also with MS Word.

6. Test your webdav connection with a webdav client (DAvExplorer, MS Explorer, OpenOffice...) connecting to http://yourserver/tikidir/tikidav.php/

You can test TikiDav at gclub.ub.es site, using a webdav client. If using OpenOffice, remember to enable uising its own dialogues through "Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > General > Use dialogues from OpenOffice.org"

Then, proceed to open a file from this url (remember to add the trailing slash "/")
http://gclub.ub.es/tikidav.php/

Test against category "Ajuda", and the page "AjudaSobreTiki".

Open through Open Office the AjudaSobreTiki.sxw file, make some changes, and save the page back to the server.

See the updated page through Tiki where you made the changes: http://gclub.ub.es/AjudaSobreTiki
