[Mediawiki-l] external file links using file://

[Frederich, Eric P2173]

Well...I guess there was a typo on the discussion page because it had
'file://;' instead of 'file://';
I fixed it here....
http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Help_talk%3AFAQ&diff=36884&ol
did=36471

Anyway, now that I corrected it in my LocalSettings.php the links are
there but they don't work from Firefox but that is a different issue I
guess.

I guess I will try this one now and see how it works.

I went through the FAQ and couldn't find anything.
There were no examples about linking to a file on a network or local
machine.
Now that you told me to go there I went again and still nothing.
I checked the discussion page and saw something about adding
$wgUrlProtocols[] = 'file://;' to LocalSettings.php.
I did this and still nothing.

Read the FAQ.
