Open a document from CIFS share instead of Space store

[deetz]

Hello I've gone looking through the wiki and forums, but right now we have the a potential problem where if users are using the web interface they can click on a file and it opens from

https://server:8443/alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/0efde540-c509-11dc-ba81-e569686b2c6d/test.txt

and then they can make changes etc hit save and it's just saved to their temp directory.

We have CIFS configured and working.

Is there a configuration change we can make so when a file is clicked on it opens a user can click on a file make changes hit save and their changes would be reflected in Alfresco?

There's a "View in CIFS" link in the details page for each document, and I don't think it would be a huge amount of effort to modify the default link for a document in the space view to use that link instead of the URL for the download servlet.

That being said, this relies on the browser handling file:// links containing UNC paths properly, and not all browsers can do this by default (this is what the Alfresco Firefox plugin is for, for example).

hallo pmonks,
I have problem using the firefox extension. When I click CIFS link it says "Inable to find explorer, please chceck curent option".

I have set "c:\WINDOWS\explorer" under the add-on but no help. I have also tried to check "include file:///" box, but stil the same result.

c:\WINDOWS\explorer is the valid path to my explorer. Do you have any idea what Im doing wrong?

Win XP SP2
FF 2.0.0.11

Thank you

Daniel
