Links & Windows Shared Folders

[lavmol]

Hello All,

I am not sure if I am searching the proper areas for the answer I am looking for a way to create a link to a folder or even the documents within said folder. The folder is a windows share on a server within a domain. All the systems that will be accessing this folder will have the map set to a specified drive letter.

So far I have tried Notes, creating the link in a custom field...

Custom HTML fields do not function canot save as well as web links...

This needs to be an entry on all my contacts and will be different for each one...

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I had to do something similar fairly recently.

Here is what you can try:

1. Access listviewdefs.php in the <sugar root>/modules/Notes/metadata folder

2. Change the customCode line under the FILENAME section to something like this:

'customCode'=> '<a href="file:///{$FILENAME}" target="_blank" class="listViewTdLinkS1">{$NAME}</a>'

3. Save your changes and access the ListView for Notes.

That change should allow you to launch files or folders that you've entered within the Attachment field when entering a Note.

If you want to reference a folder, you'll need to type in the path without using the browse button.
