The Basics

    • 32.0.5
  • Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 24.04):
    • Ubunto 24.04
  • Web server and version (e.g, Apache 2.4.25):
    • Apache 2.4.58
  • Reverse proxy and version _(e.g. nginx 1.27.2)
    • (none)
  • PHP version (e.g, 8.3):
    • 8.4
  • Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Yes / No):
    • Yes
  • When did this problem seem to first start?
    • I don't know
  • Installation method (e.g. AlO, NCP, Bare Metal/Archive, etc.)
    • Bare Metal
  • Are you using CloudfIare, mod_security, or similar? (Yes / No)
    • no

Summary of the issue you are facing:

In Nextcloud office there was a Nextcloud logo in the top left corner in the past. Clicking this logo opened the default app of Nextcloud (usually the files app):

Now with version 25.04.8.1 (CODE running in Docker) there is no logo any longer but you can still click this spot (also note, that the “save” check mark was replaced by a disk symbol - which is confusing since all other apps like the Nextcloud text editor or Collectives also use the check mark and not a disk symbol):

However clicking the top left part next to “File” will not open the default Nextcloud app but instead an URL in the following form:

https://<COLLABORA_URL>/browser/<SOME_ID>/cool.html?WOPISrc=https%3A%2F%2F<NEXTCLOUD_URL>%2Findex.php%2Fapps%2Frichdocuments%2Fwopi%2Ffiles%2F<ANOTHER_ID>&lang=en&closebutton=1&revisionhistory=1

This URL will then display an error message about an unauthorized WOPI host:

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. Open any Nextcloud Office document.

  2. See the toolbar at the top.

Configuration

The output of occ config:list system or similar is best, but, if not possible, the contents of your config.php file from /path/to/nextcloud is fine (make sure to remove any identifiable information!):

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

I went back through several versions (one by one) and found that 25.04.5.2 is the latest version that still displays the Nextcloud logo at the top left (not clickable). However, even this version does not show the full set of Nextcloud-themed icons, so you may need to go back even further.

Or, which is what I suspect, the Nextcloud Office app itself may be responsible for the theming. If so, it would not be possible to restore the old appearance, even when using older versions of the CODE image.

By the way, some the versions between 25.04.5.2 and 25.04.8.1 show two different versions of a LibreOffice-style document logo in the top-right corner which is not clickable as well. Other versions have a clickable empty area in that corner as well, just like the latest version, and clicking on it also causes the same issue as in the latest version. However, I didn’t keep track of which version displayed which behaviour.

EDIT: Correction to the above section. All versions in between show a form of the document logo there and the logos are not clickable. Only the latest version seems to have the issue with the emty clickable area you described.

Brother, you’ve spoken my mind.:heart_eyes:

I also created a GitHub issue for this:
