Hi,
I'm using Mediawiki 1.12.0, PHP 5.2.5, MySQL 5.0.24 and im having trouble with the afore mentioned Extension.
It works perfectly on the Windows machines, but not on the Mac machines. We're starting to get more Macs in now so getting this working would be perfect. I'm due to go live with the Wiki in a weeks time!!
The links are to files on a server on the same network, but the macs aren't connected to the domain (ie they don't run open directory).
When clicking on a link, the Mac internet browser (whether it be Safari or Firefox) doesn't load the link. When you right click the link and select "Open in new Tab/Window" an error message appears saying that it can't get the object as it is NULL.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Dan

...and that's one of several reasons why file: links are unreliable.
1) Many browsers disable them outright for security
2) No cross-platform consistency -- a link that works on Windows won't work on Mac/Unix and vice versa

Firefox doesn't allow file-links to be opened for security reasons. Chech out the LocalLink-Firefox-Extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=locallink&cat=all Perhaps that can help you.
