I need to setup a menu item in Joomla to point to a UNC path. if i open a browser and type the UNC path into the url input it opens up the unc path just fine \\server\share\ but if i put this as an external link in Joomla joomla changes the UNC path to
sitedomain.com///server/share
.
How can i get Joomla to accept the link as i typed it without adding the https:// stuff to it ? - There are only 10 types of people. those that understand binary and those that do not.

Thank you so much for your reply but the links you gave have nothing to do with what i am looking for
they refer to using Joomla on a windows box and setting unc paths for that.
I dont care about the server and its configurations or paths etc the UNC link i am referring to is on the website it self. ie if i want to have my users on my intranet have a menu link on the joomla site that would open another browser window pointing to a UNC path and not assume that i want to point to a web address then how would i do this. I know the browser supports this because i can type the UNC path in the url input and it works fine. but if i put it as an external link in Joomla it spends https://domain in front of it ..........
How do i get it to accept the link exactly as i typed it.
Thanks again.... - There are only 10 types of people. those that understand binary and those that do not.

Sorry, I can see how those links could be confusing. If there is a clean way to accomplish what you want with Joomla, I'm not familiar with it. The only way I can think to modify behavior is to alter how the web server writes the path or change the way Joomla asks the web server to write the path (perhaps through a core hack or .htaccess modification?).
There are many threads on Joomla.org with users discussing how to do this with both methods I mentioned. The example I posted links to were what looked like the simplest method I could find, although what will work for you depends on which web server software your host uses. - B

Apache running on linux and it does not require UNC paths that would be for a windows server
So Ben you must be the smartest person on the forums because you are the only one to answer :shock: - There are only 10 types of people. those that understand binary and those that do not.
