How to make redmine to access local share folder

Added by Abdul Rahim Mohd Saad over 13 years ago

Hello,

I'm new in Redmine.

My project need user to access local shared folder to edit and save some documents.

How the command need?

Example:

Redmine Server: http://10.96.32.162/redmine
Shared Folder Server: \\10.96.32.163\Shared\Test.xls

How do we access shared folder from another server from Redmine server?

Thanks.

The correct syntax for these links is:
"Link text":file://10.96.32.163/Shared/Test.xls

I also suggest to read this wikipedia entry about file URIs, it explains this in more detail (and why it's only working with MS Internet Explorer and with Firefox after a little modification): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI

If you want to create links to the localhost or with the name of a computer, you can also use this syntax:
"Link to file":file://///server/directory/file

Dear André,

Thanks a lot.

That's is why my link is not working at the first place.
I'm using Firefox. Now I manage to make the link work on Firefox as well.
I add NoScript AddOn and make some setting.

I need your favor again.

How the simple way to make user easy to type this text?
Example: Textbox with browse button and it automatically make the link for user.

Thanks again.

Well I don't think there is an easy way to do this. Perhaps the easiest way to have something similar would be a new macro which converts the "normal" windows path to a suitable path for Redmine. This shouldn't be too difficult.

But at the time being, I have no idea how to place a browse button to a Redmine site.
