Is it possible to create links to a network folder from within a table?
A colleague and myself have been struggling to link certain table cells to a network folder, for example: DB – Database would be linked to a network folder of the same name.
What we have tried:
-
Using
<a href="http://\networkdrivefolder1folder2folder3DB - Databases">DB - Databases</a>returns a ‘Sorry, the page was not found’ error from our storage device -
Using
<a href="file:///path/to/file.html">file</a> did not open the desired folder locationdoes not work or simply returns a ‘About: blank’ page -
Using
<a href="file://///place.local/UserData/BNE/Projects" />some name link</a>yielded the same results as mentioned above
The links I used for reference are: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-you-add-a-link-to-a-company-network-drive-on-a-page-using-file/ and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5497169/how-to-create-a-link-in-wordpress-to-a-file-on-an-local-network-server
Info about the network attached storage where the folder is stored:
- It’s a dedicated NAS device, specifically a Synology Rackstation RS2212RP+ running DSM 6.0
- The NAS hosts an array of disks and also provides three SMB shares (one of which I am trying to link to)
Info about the WordPress machine:
-Is a VM hosted within our ESXi environment
-Runs Debian 8 Jessie 64-bit
-LAMP and WordPress are installed as described here
Info about my test machine:
-Runs Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
-WordPress pages are being made and edited in Google Chrome Version 55.0.2883.87 m (64-bit)
