Extend file selection
The functionalities described below should be set up by an Intrexx administrator.
The pool of possible file assignments is predefined by Intrexx. To extend the list, a custom file can be created in the file system: <portal>/internal/cfg/webdav/webdav-link-pool-custom.cfg.
Entries from the standard pool can also be overwritten if, for example, a different URI scheme is required.
Example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webdavLinkConfiguration >
<webdavLinkItem fileExtension="docx" application="Microsoft Word" uriScheme="ms-word:ofe|u|${uri}"/>
<webdavLinkItem fileExtension="docx" application="LibreOffice Writer" uriScheme="vnd.libreoffice.command:ofe|u|${uri}"/>
</webdavLinkConfiguration>
A webdavLinkItem element with the attributes fileExtension="<file type>", application="<program>" and uriScheme="<URI schema>" must be defined for each file assignment.
Name |
Description |
---|---|
fileExtension | File type, e.g. "docx" |
application | Name of the program, displayed in the Portal Manager and browser, e.g. "Microsoft Word" |
uriScheme | URI scheme, specifies how the link for the WebDAV client is structured, e.g. "ms-word:ofe|u|${uri}" |
The Portal Server must be restarted to make the custom pool available in the Portal Manager.
