Upgrade StorageZotero LibreOffice extension
Hi,
Is there anyway to make it possible for Zotero not to ask for LibreOffice Plugin installation when Zotero is first started?
Why?
I was tasked to make Zotero deployable through sccm and LibreOffice plugin isn't necessary for our needs. First of all we don't deploy JRE to all workstations, only to those workstations that have programs that need JRE, but I don't think Zotero LibreOffice plugin would be that necessary for us to deploy JRE.
I fear that if I leave this be then out helpdesk will be contacted by users that ask "what is this, why can't I press "next"? It says that I have to visit Java.com to download it Do I download Java?."
Or they will try to download Java and notice that they don't have right to install it.
I have never noticed ticket where user ask about LibreOffice problem so I don't think LibreOffice is heavily used by our staff (even though its installed to every workstation).
PS. I'm fairly new to sccm, so if anyone has easy suggestion/solution that I might have ignored be free to tell me.
PPS. Its kinda funny how word "Zotero" shows red underline when typing to Zotero forum :)

pref("extensions.zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration.skipInstallation", false);There's another copy of that line in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zotero\extensions\zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration@zotero.org\defaults\preferences\zoteroOpenOfficeIntegration.js, but I believe the one in defaults\preferences\prefs.js is what's currently used.
Are you also disabling app updates in that file and managing updates via SCCM? If not, the file may be changed back to the original version with 'false' after the next update.
This can — and ideally would — be set in prefs.js in the Zotero profile directory without modifying Zotero program files, but that's a bit tricky for this, since the profile directory only exists after the first run. You could perhaps create a template profile directory with just that line in prefs.js, and allow all other profile files to be recreated on first startup, but you'd have to test that.
Merry Christmas!
