Other ways to open files?

[E.W.]

I am currently using an extremely locked down version of IE9 and would like to know if there is another way to open a file other than: [[this document.|.\files\VPN\VPN.pdf]]

 

I cannot add the wiki html to the trusted sites zone which would most likely allow it to work.  So if anyone has another workaround to open internal files, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks.

I think you could use dropbox and create a link and place it in there or if you are using dropbox public folder to host your site, you can keep it in public folder and just put its name with the extension.

Hope this helps!!!

Reply if any question.

Thanks for the reply but I have to keep my files local (or on a share drive). 

How about in TiddlyWiki5?  Is there a way to open local files in that?  Because it seems that the code I posted in OP doesnt work at all in tiddly5.  Thanks in advance.

Hi Erik

I don't think there's an easy solution to your problem - your browser was locked down deliberately to try to prevent this sort of acccess. A couple of possibilities:

* Could you use a different browser? There are versions of Firefox that can be run directly from a USB drive, and don't need admin permissions to do so.

* In TiddlyWiki5, binary files such as PDFs can be embedded into tiddlers, avoiding the need to link to them as external entities. How useful that is depends on browser support - most modern browsers will display PDFs in the same way as images, happily embedding them in the page. The problem with this approach is file size, of course: I find that browsers start to creak when TW5 gets above 10MB or so.

The relative linking syntax you quote should work in TW5 but isn't currently being handled correctly.

Best wishes

Jeremy
