Hello, I'm pretty sure this can't be done currently, but I still wanted to double check. It seems that Chrome and Firefox prevent linking to local files - so the IFrame macro, when pointing to file://someserver/somefile.html, doesn't display anything. For some reason IE allows it, so I do see the content of my frame when displaying the page with IE.
I was thinking maybe the xwiki.getURLContent would fetch the content of my local html file and generate the content server side so that my web browser wouldn't know the difference, but it doesn't seem to work with my file:// link.
Does somebody have an idea of how I could go about including a local html file in xwiki pages?
You need to configure your browser to remove the security feature of not opening local file:// links. Whether the link is opened in a wiki link or in an HTML IFRAME SRC attribute, it’s the same issue. There are plenty of resource on google to do this. Here’s just one for Chrome: http://voxelent.com/local-chrome/ Thanks -Vincent
