Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Two URL q's. Link to files and
directories,and target = blank for new browser window
hi All,
I'm a bit new to MediaWiki and coming from pure HTML/PHP etc, i
can't seem to
figure out what i hope i can do:
1. i am working on an internal intranet, and we have lots of
directories on
networked servers. I would like to link to these via a URL so
users can get to
them. In HTML, it would be:
file://pathToServer\pathToDir
but, i see the file:// prefix is not allowed for the URL [[ ]]
feature. Is
there another way???
This isn't really a mediawiki problem... you can't access a remote file
using file:// unless you've got an NFS link, no matter what software you are
using.
Not sure if you have an NFS, SMB, or other setup... but you'd have to put an
http server on whatever server can see files as if they were local. Sorry
if I've misunderstood your question but I don't see any other way.
