smblink

A replacement for doku's default Windows Share Link feature which supports firefox. This plugin replaces the default action of Windows Share Links (WSL) to better support the firefox browser. WSLs are still created the same way:

[[\\Host\Share\Directory\File.ext]]

And in Internet Explorer, links will still be the same:

file://///Host/Share/Directory/File.ext

But in firefox, the link will run a javascript onclick which redirects to:

smb://\\Host\Share\Directory\File.ext

This, in itself, is pretty useless, but with a neat little application and registry fix (provided here) this will now make firefox launch the smb: link in Internet Explorer, thus dealing with the file as if you were running IE. I know it's a hack, but that's life! ;)

Oh yeah, if anyone can think of a better way to do this, I'd love to hear it! Futher, I don't currently have a linux box to test any of this, but I could pretty easilly modify this to work for any smb: links as well (in fact that was my original plan, but I got lazy. ;) )

Linux works fine with just smb://host/path/to/share (at least FF does - not tested in Konqueror but should work). So I hacked this around a bit to have it work in both Windows FF and Linux…

Great work! Integrated it! I would've done this, but I don't currently have access to a linux box :$ Thanks for the contribution! ~Enki
