hello
i am attempting to put a hyperlink in a page to another server in my network and cant figure it out.
i can put in [//server_name/folder/folder/thing.pdf] but this will give me "This site can't be reached" what i need is for \\server_name/folder/folder/thing.pdf to work.
windows xampp phpmyadmin
I haven't done this, but try "file://server_namee/folder/thing.pdf"....
didnt work :[
just installed some ParserFunctions don't know what it is but somewhere i read that it would help so i installed and put his text at the bottom of my localsetting.php
wfLoadExtension( 'ParserFunctions' );
array_push($wgUrlProtocols, "file://");
$wgPFEnableStringFunctions = true;
now i just get sent to an about:blank
I'd guess that UNC links is the page that you're getting your information from, right?
Did you create the template and try to use it? Which browser are you using?
that's the one, i did create the template but i left the #replace in both places alone. wasnt sure what to do with it, the text said to just paste it in. {{unc | \\servername\SharedFolder}} just gave me another about:blank
im using chrome but i enabled locallinks in chrome
hello
today i discoved the UNC links work in a Microsoft Edge browser, is there a way to make this work in chrome?
sry to keep posting but i just found out UNC links only work in Chrome if you "middle click" (click with the scroll wheel)
thank you for all the time you spent helping me!
See UNC links#Browser compatibility. MediaWiki (and any other website) can do nothing to fix this, you must change that setting on each browser.
