Hi,

I am adding a URL using the related content feature in the Activiti Explorer. My URL looks like this: "file://a.different.machine.com/myStuff/myDoc.doc"

This works fine as long as I am working on my development envoronment. An activiti instance that is installed on my PC, which is a win 7 based environment. My problem is that when I am trying to add the same URL as content on a test-environment that is being installed in a linux-based environment nothing happens when I click the URL.

Shouldn't this work? Is there any configuration I have to make somewhere?

The links generated by activiti-explorer are regular A-tags in HTML. It's up to your browser/OS to handler all URL's clicked that start with "file://". It seems to me that sharing a "link" to a physical file on a machine will only work if that folder is available form both systems and windows-fs is different from unix… unless you can mounted a "C:/" folder or something Smiley Wink
