Is this enough info?

Thanks,

Sorry kevin,

Basically all I wanted was to be able to add links to external(non alfresco) webpages in the content sections so they'd be inline with xls, docs etc. So instead of adding a word file or excel spreadsheet I can add a url content with a link to a different web site. At the moment I add an extra file with a iframe tag in side to open up the page I'm wanting, is there a better way?

Hope that makes more sense

Cheers

Tom

Yes, you can do that easily, click on the 'details' icon of the file that you want to take the link, and there is a section named 'Links', all you have to do is to copy the URL of the 'Download Content' link and paste it wherever you want.

Sorry jlopez we seem to have crossed wires, I need external pages linked within alfresco, not alfresco pages linked to external sites.

Cheers anyway
