I have set up Web Wiz Forums on our network. Users are able to access it locally ( http://intranet/forums - http://intranet/forums ) and also externally ( https://intranet.FQDN.com/forums - https://intranet.FQDN.com/forums ) - this works, except;

1. Email notifcations are sent with one or other link, can code be amended to send both links - external and internal?

2. Download links same problem, surely a relative link is all that's required? ie /forums/uploads without http://intranet - http://intranet .

Thanks in advance

1. You could edit the post_message.asp file and change the email that is sentout to include both links.

2. Files uploaded using the upload functions do use relative links.

Thanks for your reply -boRg-,

1. Done, thanks for the pointer

2. Still not sure about this. Essentially anything uploaded internally gets the internal link, and anything uploaded externally gets the external link.

Bit of a pain as some users who work from home won't be able to get attachments from those who posted at work.

Any clues welcome!

Try using a different upload component.

Thanks again -boRg- but no joy, it seems to be the same regardless of upload component used. Looking at the database I can see the links are not relative, but can't find the code that I need to look at.

I wrote the code to be relative links, so don't understand where the full path would come from.

Well it's definately happening! Don't want to be a pain but you fancy pointing me in the right asp file direction then I'll have a looksee myself.

I can't find anything obvious, interestingly enough if I disable WYSIWYG editing then all works fine, the relative links get put into the DB and files are hence downloadable from each location.

I've bee through testing today with all componets (apart from SA fileup) with the WYSIWYG Editor and the code like I programed it only put in relative links, so I can't understand why you are getting this problem.

Strange, I have tested with SAfileup, Dundas and aspsmart. Every time i use WYSIWYG the link in the database is NOT relative. Turning off WYSIWYG fixes the problem.

I'm on 7.6, perhaps 7.7 fixes this problem?

Thats why I didn't find this as I use Mozilla Firebird as my default browser. If this is a problem with IE then there is little that can be done apart from write some ASP code to remove any path that is not relative.

Or change the pasthtml line in upload_files.asp to use something other than pastehtml. Unfortuantely my javascript ain't so hot!

If anyone can help I'd appreciate it

I spent about 2 days, 16 hours working on this part and the pastHTML was the only solution I could find.

There's someone with a solution here:

But I can't work out how to change the code in upload_files. Not expecting you to fix it of course, though a donation would be likely if you did ;-)

Thats still uses pastHTML so I wouldn't see how that would help.

Your best solution is to use ASP that when it is submitted the relative path, the part containing your domain is removed from the link.

Thanks -boRg-, I've successfully amended post_message.asp. I'd upload the code but don't have permission.
