File server links in wiki pages

Is there a way to insert links in wiki pages to files on the same server (rather than upload the file itself)?
We have wikis and (afp) file shares on the same physical 10.6 server.
Thanks!

Having tested a few approaches, one that seems to work is to set up an FTP share that does not require login – that is, enable anonymous access to a 'public' ftp area. The permissions need be set to read-only or read/write to all, and files can be linked to in the following format from a wiki page:
ftp://<servername>/<sharename>/<filename>
While this works, it is not great from a security perspective – especially for internal wikis.

Auto update of latest document links in Wiki pages

Hi I am completely new to Sharepoint and wiki pages. I manage to do few changes to wiki pages to have a feel of it. I noticed that every time i create a link to a document if the version changes i need to update the link manually by editing it. Is there
any way to automate this process?
Eg: Docv1.0.doc is updated to Docv2.0
Thanks
gauls

I manage to get something working using webparts Content Editor and linking it to a file. Not sure if this the only/best approached for Sharepoint 2007
<script type="text/javascript">
function getLatestFile(){
var myObject;
var recent = "";
myObject = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var folderObj = myObject.GetFolder("C:\Test");
var fc = new Enumerator(folderObj.files);
for(var objEnum = new Enumerator(FileCollection); !objEnum.atEnd(); objEnum.moveNext()) {
If (recentFile = ""){
recentFile = file;
else if (file.DateLastModified > recentFile.DateLastModified){
recentFile = file;
}//for loop
alert("recentFile : " + recentFile);
var mylink = document.getElementById("myLink");
mylink.setAttribute("href", urlToFile);
mylink.click();
</script>
<P> </P><A id="myLink" onclick="getUrl();"> TestFile1 </A>

File Download links on ADF pages

Hi All, My requirement is to display no. of document links in pages. I am trying to use <af:fileDownloadActionListener> .
I am getting list of files/document while loading the page from backing bean and looping through it using <af:forEach>..
when i click on any link to download the document then fileDownloadBean.download function is called. So in backing function
download how i know which document user has clicked to download ? Any idea ?
<af:panelList id="pl1" clientComponent="true" >
<af:forEach var="file" items="#{fileDownloadBean.listFiles}" >
<af:commandLink text="#{file}" actionListener="#{fileDownloadBean.buttonClicked}" />
<af:commandLink text="#{file}" visible="false" id="cl2" actionListener="#{fileDownloadBean.buttonClicked}">
<af:fileDownloadActionListener filename="#{file}"
contentType="application/msword"
method="#{fileDownloadBean.download}" />
</af:commandLink>
</af:forEach>
</af:panelList>

Hi Tim, I tried to follow same step as mentioned in your blog..but getting y error no object found by id...
function customHandler(event){
var exportCmd = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId("::cl2");
alert('hello');
var actionEvent = new AdfActionEvent(exportCmd);
actionEvent.forceFullSubmit();
actionEvent.noResponseExpected();
actionEvent.queue();
In my program commandlink is rendering by for each loop...i think in for each loop...iterating component does not assign proper ids...
<af:panelList id="pl1" clientComponent="true" >
<af:forEach var="file" items="#{fileDownloadBean.listFiles}" >
<af:commandLink text="#{file}" clientComponent="true" partialSubmit="true" actionListener="#{fileDownloadBean.buttonClicked}" />
<af:commandButton text="#{file}" id="cl2" visible="false" clientComponent="true" >
<af:fileDownloadActionListener filename="#{file}"
contentType="application/msword"
method="#{fileDownloadBean.download}" />
</af:commandButton>
</af:forEach>
</af:panelList>
I appreciate your help..
Thanks

Minor UI Bug: File Mail Link to This Page? Should be worded differently.

i.g. Mail Link of This Page, or Mail URL/Link on Current Page.
Wording is a bit confusing.

I can't get firefox to download files from links on web pages

I have firefox 3.6.13 and when I click on a download link on a web page nothing happens. I have to open Internet explorer to download files.
It used to work OK for years until a few months ago.
The only web page I have found that I can still download from is for mp3 files from amazon.com
Isn't there anyone out there that has any idea how to solve this? If I can't get it fixed I guess I will have to make Internet Explorer my default browser.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

Wiki Pages Dynamic Menu Error

Hi,
When creating a standard wikik page, the left menu I guess will show links to wiki pages, however I only get this error on all wiki pages that are created throughout the site!
Any idea on how to solve this error?
regards
Martin

Hi Martin,
Did this happen to all wiki pages in all SharePoint web applications?
Did you find some ULS log messages related to this issue when you access the wiki page with the error in the Updated Pages section?
The Updated Pages section is displated with newly updated wiki pages in wiki library, it is defined in wiki page templated wkpstd.aspx located under 15 directory (15\TEMPLATE\DocumentTemplates folder) and each wiki page will inherited it, for this issue,
I would try to recycle the SharePoint site from the IIS (and IISRESET), and then see if it could work.
Thanks

Plus "+" signs appear in subject when using "Mail Link to This Page" error

When I choose File > Mail Link to This Page in Safari for Windows (all recent/current versions), Safari opens a new Outlook email message window with a link to the web page I want to send in the content area of the message as it should, however the subject line contains plus sign "+" symbols between every word in the web page's title, as shown here:
Subject: Apple-+Support+-+Discussions+-+Post+Message:+NewTopic
Any tips on how to make those distracting plus signs go away?
Joe

Yeah, I've posted the same inquiry. I'm surprised we haven't heard anything back yet regarding this annoying issue w/ the "+" symbols showing up in the Subject line every time we mail a link.
Hopefully we'll get some type of assistance soon.
Good luck!

Beehive Workspaces - WIKI pages and SSO

Hi,
I made a Word document that contains links to Wiki pages in an (Oracle internal) Beehive Workspace.
A side-effect is that the user has to logon through SSO each time a link is selected in the Word document, even if the previous link/session is still active in IE or FF.
Can this behaviour be changed, so the user user only needs to log on at the first link ?
cu,
Frank.

I also found a soution in the mean time :

any comments ?

Wiki file attachments - can the wiki be configured to link to a file already on the server rather than uploading it into the page?

Can the wiki be configured to link to a file already on the server rather than uploading it into the page? This would enable users to open (and edit) the original server hosted document rather than downloading a static copy that can't be edited and synced back into the wiki page.
As a workaround I've tried attaching an alias to a file but it doesn't work - the wiki instead uploads the aliased file.
From what I can work out, the default wiki behaviour is to upload a document to a wiki page, which creates a copy of the uploaded document in the wiki database. This copy has no connection to the original document. It can be downloaded and edited, but the edits are not saved back into the wiki hosted version of the document.
I'd like to be able to upload a link or alias to a document (with preview please!) already on the server. A user could then preview the document or click to open and edit it.
The only way I can do this at the moment is to create a link "afp://123.../doc.rtf" to the original. This is timeconsuming and confusing for non-technical users and doesn't offer the benefits of the attach function (ie document preview).
Is there any way the wiki can be configured to link to documents already on the server using the attach functionality?

An update for anyone in a similar situation.
Patch 3944727 for 9.0.4.1 that solves this issue: "USER LOV IASM11SHIP EDIT USER LOV SHOULD SHOW THE NICKNAME ATTRIBUTE." However, the patch is mutually exclusive with the latest CPU's and there's no plan to merge the pacthes given the dwindling support for 9.0.4.1. So that patch is pretty much worthless.
I've been told that this patch is included in newer portal versions, so the real solution is an upgrade.

Convert pdf files into wiki pages, and export wiki pages as word and pdf files

I am working on an enterprise wiki site collection inside my SharePoint server 2013. And there was a requirement to automatically generate wiki pages from word documents. As I read that the built-in service within SharePoint does not support importing the
pictures within the word documents. So I looked into 3rd party tools and I settle on the “Kaboodle Word to Wiki” link
which will manage to convert word docs into wiki pages, with only minor layout problems.
But I want to know if there are additional tools which support the following:-

I haven't seen any third party tool converting pdf files to SharePoint wiki pages and and exporting SharePoint wiki pages into pdf and word files.
You need to write custom feature where you can use iTextSharp pdf for pdf conversion. you can also check below blog which shows the export of SharePoint Wiki to Word/PDF without 3rd party tools:

How can I allow users to view any Wiki Pages inside my enterprise wiki site collection, as PDF files

We are working on an enterprise wiki site collection, and users start adding wiki pages and link them together. But a new requirement was raised by the customer, to allow users to be able to convert any wiki page to pdf file and save the pdf file to their
local PCs. They are suggesting to add a link or an option inside the upper ribbon , named “Make as PDF”, and once clicked they can view the current wiki as a pdf file.
Not sure what are the capabilities of SharePoint 2013 to do so ? and is there any third paryt tools that allow doing similar tasks ?
Thanks

If you want to save as PDF, could you not use a PDF printer, so the procedure would be to 'Print this page' and the user then selects their PDF printer and where they want to save the file.
but in this way the user will have the page header footer, left navigation included in the pdf file. while i want to extract the body only. i so not think you apprach will work for my requirements

How can I create a link that allows users to convert a Wiki pages into PDF format.

I am working on an enterprise Wiki library site collection, but I want to create a link named “Convert to PDF” , which allow users to convert the current Wiki into a pdf file. I need this link to be displayed some where in all the exsiting Wikis pages, and
on any new wiki page. Can anyone advice if there is already such as capability within sharePoint 2013.
Thanks

Hi,
For your requirement, we can add this link to the master page, then it will appear in the pages which apply this master page.
To convert the current page to PDF, you can take consideration of using jsPDF.

When you create a link to a web page in numbers and we export the PDF file, the link is offset by 3 rows. Example: if I put a link on the text in cell A1, I found the link A4. In fact, this feature becomes unusable. How can we solve this problem? Thank yo

When you create a link to a web page in numbers "Mavericks" and we export the PDF file, the link is offset by 3 rows. Example: if I put a link on the text (with Cmd-K) in cell A1, I found the link A4. In fact, this feature becomes unusable. How can we solve this problem?
Thank you.

Hi again Raja!
I did as you recommended and installed HTTPWatch and below is the outcome of that program. It is the exact string with the only exception of obfuscated servernames and portnumbers. The last part that begins with "sap_ep_baseurl=" makes me suspicious, is that part really correct? It looks like it's lacking things.
