We need this to link from wiki text to local files in our compnies intranet.

Many thanks in advance

Hi there,

I also have the same problem... if someone could help me, I will be very happy

Thanks

It's a browser thing. IE works fine, Firefox blocked this for security reasons.

And what is the tag to use with local path?

thanks

You can create proper file:/// links with Extension:FileProtocolLinks but as mentioned only for IE and not Firefox

See also Extension:UncPath, and Manual:$wgUrlProtocols#Details

I use this extension. not sure where I got it:

# Usage
# with this extension it is possible to define 
# new tags of the form 
# <link target="blank">network location</link>
# The behaviour of a window is configurable. Options are not obligatory: "SELF", "TOP", "PARENT", "BLANK" (default).
# the function registered by the extension gets the text between the 
# tags as input and renders a link.
# You can just copy the network location and paste it between <link></link>. 

$wgHooks['ParserFirstCallInit'][] = "hookNetworkLink";
 
function hookNetworkLink( &$parser ) {
    $parser->setHook( "link", "renderNetworkLink" );
    return true;
}
 
# The callback function for converting the input text to HTML output
function renderNetworkLink( $loc='', $argv=array() ) {
    global $wgOut, $wgTitle, $wgParser;
 
    $loc = htmlspecialchars($loc);
    switch( strtoupper( $argv['TARGET'] ) ) {
    case "SELF":
       $out = "<a href=\"{$loc}\" target=\"_self\">$loc</a>";
       break;
    case "TOP":
       $out = "<a href=\"{$loc}\" target=\"_top\">$loc</a>";
       break;
    case "PARENT":
       $out = "<a href=\"{$loc}\" target=\"_parent\">$loc</a>";
       break;
    default:
       $out = "<a href=\"{$loc}\" target=\"_blank\">$loc</a>";
    }
 
    return $out;
 
}

^^Doesn't work. Also it's a browser prblem not a website problem.
