link to folder doesn't work in Firefox

Added by David García over 14 years ago

A link to folder in a server doesn't work if I use Firefox. The link only works with Internet Exprorer. In RedMine, I put the next: name_link:file://server/folder1/folder2.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can't find any documentation about a file:// URI scheme in redmine, so I'd wager you either made a mistake while copying the link, or it's an internet explorer and/or windows specific link. If it's an IE/Windows specific URI scheme, it's not a redmine problem, sorry.

The documentation is in http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineTextFormatting and it talks about http:// (marked in red). It isn't the same but is similar. I came across this option (file://) through test/error. I know this option works with Internet Explorer and not with Firefox, why? I don't know

Is there another way to access a folder hosted on a server from Redmine?

As I supposed, the file:// URI scheme is not redmine-specific. Have a look at the Wikipedia page, especially at the part about Mozilla browsers:

Mozilla browsers refuse to follow file: links on a page that it has fetched with the HTTP protocol, so that the page's own URL is an http: URL. When you click on such a link, nothing happens.

This is not a redmine issue, but a browser issues.
