Hello Richard,
Linking to files on a network drive should be straightforward. Just
select Link->Web Page.. and enter the file path in the "Webpage address"
field. Just mind that the files are of course not under version control
of XWiki.
As for your second question, I think you cannot attach files to a wiki
without attaching them to a defined page. That should pose no problem,
because you can always link to a file attached to any page within your
wiki, even across different spaces. Maybe it's a good idea to create one
page to work as a central repository for files that are shared between
many pages, with no clear master page.
BR,
Hannu

Hi,
Does anyone know how to add links to files on a project network drive? We
have a lot of files on our network drives and there's a reluctance to attach
all the files into the wiki. So to ease people into using the wiki it would
be nice to allow them to easily link out to external files. Currently XWiki
allows users to link to other wiki pages, other web pages or attached files
but not external files .... is there a way provide a means to add links to
external files?
Regards,
Richard
