[tw] Re: Link to a network folder
This is an old post, but it seems to address my issues with trying to create a TW5 (on nodejs) link to an external network folder. Hoping someone can still help me. Say for example I want to navigate to: *O:\Practice Group Resources* on our network using windows explorer. If I follow along the last post on this feed, I should be able to create an external link like so: [ext[file:///O:/Practice Group Resources]] or [ext[file:///O:/Practice%20Group%20Resources/]] and have TW5 navigate me to that network folder from the browser. I know this because when I enter file:///O:/Practice%20Group%20Resources/ into the browser, it does indeed take me to the web portal. Any ideas on how to get this to work using TW5 nodejs? Would greatly appreciate anyone's help.

Hi! I mapped that network folder, and then with file:///X:/subfolder/file.pdf it works! Thanks to all! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.

If you mapped that folder to your own computer (ie, if you assigned it a letter, such as X, for example), you can simply refer to it as if it's on a local computer: file:///X:/subfolder/file.pdf w On Apr 12, 2:02 pm, vinga vingado...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I have placed my tiddlywiki on a network shared folder, and I'd like to add a link to a pdf located in the same network subfolder.

Hi, I have placed my tiddlywiki on a network shared folder, and I'd like to add a link to a pdf located in the same network subfolder. I tried file:///192.168.1.55/subfolder/file.pdf, \ \192.168.1.55\subfolder\file.pdf, ... nothing works. any help? If you are using an IP address, then it's not a *local* file access, so file:// would not be correct. Try using a regular http URL, like this: http://192.168.1.55/subfolder/file.pdf Of course, if your network share server changes IP address (i.e,. re- issued by the local DHCP server, if any), then all your links will break. As noted by 'whatever', you would be better off mapping the networked drive to a local drive letter, and then using a local reference, like this: file:///X:/subfolder/file.pdf Then, as long as the network drive is mapped to the same drive letter all the time, then those links will continue to work, even if the network drive's IP is re-issued. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups TiddlyWiki group.
