We have a *need* to be able to access existing documentation in the wiki. This documentation may be in the form of .doc, .xls, .odt etc. I would like to be able to external link to these documents but have not found a way to do this. In searching the archives I have found some discussions but nothing definitive. We are still searching and reading but if someone has a link that says 'hey .. stupid .. look here -->' I would be appreciative. What we have tried. 1 ) We know that we can 'upload' these documents into wiki by extending the allowed 'media' types. My guess is adding all these document types to the wiki might cause some size issues. Though I like that it notes the changes It is funny on the page for the uploaded document it says IMAGE:document_name. Other than this it appears to work well. The only problem that the users have with this is that if they want to make a change to the document they have to save locally then upload again. Doesn't bother me but .. users 2) We have tried adding file:// to the accepted list, and this almost works. It shows correctly as a link (as long as I %20 all the spaces). But the link doesn't do anything. If in IE or FF I file:///c:/Read%20Inventory%20and%20Prices.txt in the address bar then it opens right and displays. If it is file://c:\Technical%20Design%20Template.dot then we get the 'open or save' dialog box. Which is fine. If we make a change and then save we have to direct it back to itself (opens a a new document .. not "c:\Technical Design Template.dot". But these external links will not work if used through a wiki page. You can click and click and click .. but nothing happens. I am sure that I must be missing a setting and wonder what it could be. So as I said, if someone knows a good 'Links for dummys' link .. link me to it. Thanks DSig David Tod Sigafoos | SANMAR Corporation PICK Guy 206-770-5585 davesigafoos(a)sanmar.com
