• Display Web Folder

    By Mirko Zellner 1 decade ago

    Hello all,



    do you think it's possible to also display web folders that are connected to intra- or internet ?

    If this would be possible the File Navigator would cover a kind of connector functionality.

    I am thinking of beeing connected to any a web folder where content could be generated via drag and drop ( like it is done e.g. in some LN to Whatever connetors ;-) )



    I think the only problem is to map a kind of local drive to this webfolders here.



    Thx for the effort



    Best regards



    Mirko

      Hi Mirko,



      it's technical possible. I'll check it.



      Although there is one problem: a plug-in delay when the tree gets refreshed if the web folder isn't available (I'm running into this problem while implementing UNC folders).

        Hi Rene,



        thx a lot for the quick feedback and answer. On my local PC a web folder is already mapped and available but i'm not able to add a this web folder as new folder within the File Navigator Option Dialog.

        Is there any workaround possible in maybe just giving the web folder a local drive mapping or something else ?

      This feature should give the ability to connect to web folders (like ftp or webdav), similar to the current network share feature (including preference settings).



      Your priority:

      high/medium/low



      Expected realisation:

      Same implementation than network shares, now for web folders.





      Please leave your opinion as a response to this document. More suggestions are welcome.

        Hello Rene,



        i would set the priority to medium.



        Having the Web Folder Mapping funtionality would cover becoming the LN Client a kind of connector client for systems like SAP or MS Sharpoint Portal ….

        actually to be able to link to Alfresco, which has a WebDav interface.
