Instead we'd like to use the path of an file saved on our server, a working url for this is [[unc:\\serverhostname\folder\folder\MyFile.xlsx]] However, {{office reference=" unc:\\serverhostname\folder\folder\MyFile.xlsx " filterStyles="false"/}} does not work (Failed to view office attachment). The Office Macro documentation states: "The supported resources are URLs (url:) and attachments (attach:)." Is there currently a way to use a file path with the office macro? I tried variants using url: but none of them worked.

Thank you. Mario

E.g. {{office reference="URL:file://serverhostname/folder/folder/MyFile.xlsx" filterStyles="false"/}} This link works when pasted to windows Explorer (on the xwiki server) Also tried with the "URL": {{office reference="file://serverhostname/folder/folder/MyFile.xlsx" filterStyles="false"/}} The macro exception stack (see http://pastebin.com/Q9vwCYhe ) using URL:file:// clearly states that it is looking for an attachment as opposed to a file link. (Attachment [Attachment ax:Sandbox.WebHome@URL:file://serverhostname/folder/folder/MyFile.xlsx] does not exist.). The same goes for file:// Any ideas? I could still try some of the other windows file uri Schemas as shown in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Use-file-path-in-office-macro-tp7600777p7… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
