Hi all, One of my users wishes to be able to place Google Earth, GE, *.kml/*.kmz files within a wiki page. In turn he wants to be able to click on the link and have it load up GE, GE moving to the coordinates etc within the file. Any ideas as to how I would do this? I've done some googling and not found anything like this.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated,
Andrew Lowe

You mean, how to create a URL that links to a file? Same as any other file...
http://example.com/my-cool-file.ext
[http://example.com/my-cool-file.ext A text link]
[[Media:my-cool-file.ext|Text link to a file that was uploaded to the wiki]]
