File links to external repo

[dvwyngaa]

Hi,

I need some advice on the following. I have a Alfresco Site that I want to link to files on an NFS share. Thus, I want to link from the Alfresco site to a file on an NFS share within my own network. So, do I:
- Create a link to the file from a wiki page? If so, how.
- Create a data store that links to a external data source. If so, how.

Thanks in advance for any assitance.

Hi,
There's nothing built in to Alfresco that will solve this, but you could take a look around for 3rd party projects that might do it.  If I understand correctly, you want to browse into the NFS share directly in your Site?  You could extend the FileFolderService to go to the share and get the listing when it hits a containing folder with a given aspect.  So you'll need code - yours or someone else's - to get it done.
