[Plone-Users] OpenXML icons not displaying in navigation portlet

[Rick B. <rbruch@u.washington.edu>]

Hi,

I have several Plone 4.1.6 sites using OpenXML 1.1.0 to provide full 
text indexing and icons for MS Office 2007/2010 documents.

It has been working great, however, I recently added a new Plone site to 
the instance and the OpenXML-provided icons are not showing up in the 
navigation portlet (or sitemap for that matter). They also do not show 
in the folder_contents view. However, the icon does show up in the 
content area of the page when you "view" the document, i.e., the URL is 
http://mysite.org/folder/document/view. In these cases, the icon shown 
is the generic "application.png."

The sites in question are both using the same theme, which is based on 
the Plone Classic theme. The site where the icons work was originally 
built in an earlier version of Plone and migrated up to 4.1.6, the one 
where the icons don't work was created as a 4.1.6 site.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling OpenXML in the site quickinstaller, 
which had no effect. I'm not seeing any errors in the site error_log.

Any ideas? I see that OpenXML hasn't had any updates since September 
2010, is it possible that it is not fully compatible with Plone 4.1? 
Also, is there a better, more modern way to provide full text indexing 
and icons for Office 2007/2010 documents in Plone?

Thanks, let me know if any additional information would be helpful.

-Rick
