Put network links allowing the opening of the windows explorer

Open AdminNge opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Hello,

Im in 9.5.6 for GLPI and 2.12.3 for FormCreator.

I would like to know if it was possible to put network links in forms in order to allow people selecting them to directly open a path in our tree structure on our Windows file server .

For example if I place the link \servername\testfolder\ in a form, is it possible that it opens the explorer under the path indicated?

The idea is to create a form to centralize certain information in order to guide my users to find information from the network

Thx you for your help and your good work.

To give more precision, I manage to add a web link like this

But I would like to add links to folders that are on our file server, opening windows explorer and not a new browser tab.

Ty

Hi

I think you need tries and errors. I would try to create a HTTP anchor with the src attribute containing the URL of your share.

I'm not sure what you mean, thanks for your time

You should use a question of type description. It allows you to write rich text, then you can write some HTML code with the HTML editor. Use a HTML anchor.

<a src="\\server\share\path\to\somehing">link to something</a>.

You may want to search over internet if yo need to specify some protocol like file://.

I also remember that someone asked for this question long ago. Search in the closed issues.
