Hi Kevin,
did you add "file://" to $wgUrlProtocols in LocalSettings.php?
Also, what browser is being used? Once you add 'file://' as Jimmy
stated, it should work just fine for IE... However, if you use
Firefox, take a look here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don%27t_work
The mistake I made at first was to replace
www.example.com with the
destination of the local link... it needs to be the server that is
actually serving the link rather than the content.
For example, if your wiki is
wiki.host.com and you are trying to link
to file://///internalserver/file.htm:
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled",
"allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites",
"http://wiki.host.com");
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
Then you can create your link in your wiki to
[file://///internalserver/file.htm].
