I'm re-sending this. I send it from the Mac Mail program, and when I viewed it online it appears a lot of content was chopped off. I've added a lot of manual carriage returns to see if this stops happening.
Begin original message: I am now up and running a standalone desktop MoinMoin wiki, version 1.9.6. To connect, I use the url http://localhost:8080 My goal for this wiki is entirely personal: want to be able to find information and files useful to me. I have many links to external files and websites, but cannot get similar links to files on my local machine set up the way I want. For instance, if I have a .pdf file already on my hard drive, I don't want to have to move it to an attachments directory down deep within the data directory. What I have done so far is put a simlink in the attachments directory linking to the file's actual location. I'd rather have things set up to completely mimick a link to a pdf on some non-local server, as in file:///path/pdfFileName.pdf Is there a way to do this? I've poked around, and it seems there are security issues surrounding this kind of thing. It seems people say this is a browser issue rather than an issue with MoinMoin. But my browser will open files on my local machine when given a link such as the one above. Moreover, given that mine is a standalone configuration, it seems to me what I do locally (in my MoinMoin configuration) isn't viewable/accessible from an external server. A related (I think) question is how I can link to a local html file and display it. In other words, why can't I mimick a link like http://www.google.com/index.html with file:///path/localfile.html Thanks.
