Link to a document in library from wiki

jtp

How do you link to a document currently residing in the document library from a Wiki entry? Or blog or discussion for that matter? When you click to add a URL to a wiki entry, you get a very simple pop up box. If you paste in any of the URLs that Share presents beside the document preview, they all 404.

Could you give an example please? e.g. the URL to the Document Details page and that presented by the wiki that 404's.

Thanks,
Mike

It doesn't happen in the labs3 stable. Thanks for checking on it.

Hello,

We are currently using Alfresco DM 2.1 for our department's knowledge base. I was looking to upgrade to the new Alfresco Labs 3, particularly interested in the collaborative features of Share. Last month, I made a fast evaluation of LifeRay Social Office that can be comparable to Share for some features (Wiki, Document Library, Blogs, SharePoint protocol).

I wish to continue to use Alfresco, but for now, I miss a feature existing in LifeRay Social Office that I consider to be extremely important for our use : in a wiki or a blog, I need to easily create links to documents of the site's document library. This can be done with copy/paste of an URL like said in this post, but that's not an option for my users to use such a trick. Perhaps I missed something somewhere, but there is not a selection box to browse the document library to select the document to be linked (try Liferay SO, you'll see what I mean). Is there any planned feature like this one ? Do I need to add a feature request in JIRA ?

Thanks !

It's not planned, but should be a fairly easy addition as we already have a custom image browser component.

You would just need to copy that into a new editor button, but change the REST API query and renderer to show documents rather than images.

Maybe someone on these forums would be interested in picking it up as a contribution..?

Thanks,
Mike

I second cvigouroux's remark. A wiki is all about linking to pages that do not exist yet (see the red links in Wikipedia). To me that's one of the core features of a wiki, the Share wiki does not provide this kind of functionality at the moment. It should be easy to create a non-existent link that creates a new wiki page when some editor clicks on it.

cvigouroux

Hi Simon, you can add new Wiki pages easily : in your wiki text, just type the following :

Here is a link to a new page : [[New_Page|Click me]]

You save the page, then display it. Click on the red link "Click me", that will drive you to the creation of the new page.

Hope it helps you.

My problem is else : I need to create link to documents present in the document library with a browsable wizzard.

Thanks cvigouroux, I should have tried a little harder…
