CIFS path in webscript

[dgenard]

Hi,

I'd like to insert a link in a webscript template to edit a document via CIFS.
I can write something like :

  <a href="file://\\SERVERA\alfresco\Path to document">Edit</a>‍

and it works fine, but the server name is hardcoded (SERVERA in this case), which is obsiously not a good practice…
I coundn't find any freemarker expression to produce the server name. Any idea ?

Hi Denis,

You should have a look at the org.alfresco.web.ui.common.Utils#generateURL() static method. This method can generate the URL for you. Then to use it from any Freemarker code, you will need to create your own root object calling this method. For this, simply read this section of the template page of the wiki: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Template_Guide#Custom_Root_Objects.

Thanks for your answer. I hoped there is an easier solution…
I've found a JIRA issue covering this feature : https://issues.alfresco.com/browse/ETWOONE-189

Hi Denis,
Were you ever able to get this working?  I'm in the same situation.

Thanks,
