How to start applications from a Redmine wiki page?
Added by André Bachmann over 13 years ago
We use Redmine only in our internal LAN, so security need not be the highest priority. Therefore, I want wo place a link on a wiki page which points to a *.bat, *.cmd or *.exe file on a server within our intranet. When the user clicks on it, the file should be executed. For example, I want to have a link to a local excel.exe on a wiki page, and wehen the user clicks it, his own Excel should start.
Well I know that this contradicts all safety precautions from browser vendors, but maybe there is a way which I don't know yet. Who has some hints about this?

You can write a macrco with externals filters plugin. which executes a app and even takes cmd line params from wiki page and returns result from std out.
