This macro connects XWiki to Office 365, allowing to display and to search for office documents from OneDrive inside XWiki. It also allows the display of documents that would come from a Microsoft account including Sharepoint. See below examples of usages of the three included features.
Macro embed via URL
A first option to embed an Office 365 file would be by URL. This way of embedding does not require OAuth credentials to connect XWiki to your Microsoft Office 365 account.
To embed you just need to copy the URL that is displayed when you view or edit an Office document on the Microsoft Office 365 account. On the page where you want to embed the document, insert the Office365 Viewer macro and add the copied URL in the dedicated field. An iframe is used to embed the chosen file. You can also set width and height parameters of the iframe.
This is how the inserted Office365 Viewer macro looks when editing the page in wiki mode or when editing the page using WYSIWYG, but while in Source mode, with the URL of the pptx file from an Office365 account that includes Sharepoint:
This is the result of embedding a Sharepoint pptx file using the URL in the inserted Office365 Viewer macro:
Macro embed via Search
You can embed via the Search box feature an Office 365 document from your online OneDrive (from an Office 365 account that does not include Sharepoint). Before trying this feature, make sure to set the OAuth credentials for this to work (see the installation page for instructions).
After that, go on the page where you want to display the Office document from your online OneDrive. Then, edit the page, insert the Office365 Viewer macro without any parameter and a search box will show up.
In the search box of the inserted Office365 Viewer macro, search the name of a known document from the OneDrive and then choose the document to embed. Once you embed the document, you will see on the top right two discrete links: "Change" and "View" .
This is how the inserted Office365 Viewer macro looks when editing the page in wiki mode or when editing the page using WYSIWYG, but while in Source mode:
This is the search result of the word "xwiki" from our test of the search feature:
OneDrive search inside XWiki
Once you have setup the OAuth credentials, you can also extend the XWiki search with OneDrive results using the following steps:
- Activate the search UI extension in the Office 365 configuration in the XWiki Administration > Other > Office365 section.
- Add the UI Extension point to the SolrSearchMacros page (see How to add the UI Extension For the Solr Search instructions below)
A box with OneDrive results will be included on the SOLR search screen of XWiki.
How to add the UI Extension For the Solr Search
A UI Extension point needs to be added until XWIKI-14205 is integrated in XWiki.
To add the extension point locate the macro #\displaySearchForm in the page Main.SolrSearchMacros and add the following foreach/end block after it:
#foreach ($extension in $services.uix.getExtensions("org.xwiki.platform.search.widget"))
{{html clean=false}}
$services.rendering.render($extension.execute(), 'xhtml/1.0')
{{/html}}
#end
#if ($text != '')
Limitations
- Only the Office formats (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) can be embedded. PDF files cannot be embedded because Office 365 does not provide an embed URL.
- Sharepoint documents can be embedded by URL but not searched.

Installing Paid Apps on Subwikis
If you want to install an application on the whole farm (main wiki + subwikis), you can do so directly from the main wiki’s Extension Manager, as seen below:
Extensions can also be installed only on a particular subwiki by global admins. Subwiki admins will not be able to install these extensions due to their limited rights.
To configure the extension to be able to use the other features, you will need to get OAuth2 credentials:
Create Office 365 OAuth Credentials
You will need to register the application and create credentials on the Azure Portal. It might be necessary to be an admin in the organization when doing this step.
Here are the instructions to get an Application ID (clientid), create a password (secret) and set the redirect URI (https://[your domain]]/xwiki/bin/view/Office365/OAuth):
- Go to "Azure Services>App Registrations" to register the XWiki app
- Go to the Authentication section and click to "Add a platform"
- Fill in the Redirect URI http://<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Office365/OAuth:
- Under Implicit grant select ID-tokens and click Save
- Add Permissions for the Graph API:
- All needed Permissions:
- Go to "Certificates and Secrets" and generate a New Client Secret. Copy the secret to the Office365 app administration section (have in mind the secret will not be displayed again on the Azure Portal, you will have to generate a new one).
Enter the credentials in XWiki Administration
Copy the Tenant ID and the Client ID from the Azure Portal registered app Overview page and also the Secret Value from the newly generated client secret. Paste those in the dedicated fields in the XWiki Administration, the Other section, Office365 tab.
Start using the Office365 Integration (Pro) application using the instructions in the Documentation section. You can also find usage examples on the Description section.
