just link to the key, preceded by a slash, e.g. <a href="/[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Maybe the GPL</a> <a href="/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/file.dat">What know I</a> <a href="/[EMAIL PROTECTED]">A nice picture</a> <a href="/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/picture.png">A nice picture with a nice name</a> > Then I heard something about a "MAP"-file, which I am lead to assume could > be the solution to all my problems - or at least the ones not related to > girls or money.

FIW will build a mapfile when you insert your site so that you can use "nice" names for files inside it. You could tweak this file by adding stuff into your .fiw/mapfile.ini inside the project directory, but I think that is overkill for linking to foreign sites. It might be useful if you want to give files an address below your SSK (to prove others that you approve its contents), but is not needed for linking to foreign files. To view the "raw mapfile" of a freesite, open FIW's metadata browser and enter the URI of that site up to the first // in it. (You might see a DateRedirect first if that site is DBR, but just move your cursor on that DateRedirect line and hit Return to view the current mapfile behind it.) The format for mapfile.ini is a bit more "cooked" than the mapfiles inside freenet, e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then you can directly link to picture.png from your site and viewers won't be able to notice that that is a file you didn't insert yourself. > Any of you brains out there have an idea or a pointer as to where I could > look for info? If you are more interested about what is happening "behind the scenes", try to get the "Nubile" or "Freenet Explained" freesites. AFAIK they are archived somewhere outside Freenet as well, but I don't remember the URL. mihi _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
