Browse outside of TeamSite

Just a question for everyone...

Is there ANY way for me to code/configure so that from my Browse... button within a template I can browse to network drives? Right now I can only browse to the drive that TeamSite is mounted to, and this is a problem for many of my users cause files they want to link to at located on network drives elsewhere, outside of TeamSite. Any ideas????

I created a custom java-callout that accidently solved your problem.

What I tried to do was mimic their browse functionality (that is, server-side browsing), but enhance the functionality by parsing the file path that the user selects and making some changes for them.

When I got done with my code and tried it out, I realized that my Browser is only capable of searching the filesystem on the client-side. I had an open issue with Interwoven on this and they said that the way in which their Java browser searches the server-side filesystem is proprietary and not for release.

So, here you go.

Include this code in your datacapture.cfg, but get rid of the spaces I intentionally put in between the opening less-than-signs and the start of the tags.

                class="com.lookinthejarfile.dc100.jbrowser.JBrowser" />

And then copy the attached JAR file to the $IW_HOME/httpd/iw directory. (Click on the "Attachment" link in the grey column to the left, under my name)

Good luck, let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Does this attachment only work for TS v4.5? I see in the jar file that is has ts45 and I am using ts5.01. Just curious before I go ahead and try this.

Funny history behind that file name . . .

I couldn't get my **** java-callout to work for the longest time so I actually added my classes to the tst45.jar file for a little while before I figured out the problem. I just named my jar tst45_fm.jar because I mimiced the whole "com/interwoven/dc100/api" directory structure and saved my jar in the same place as the tst45.jar.

The java code should work on any TS version out there . . .as long as the API hasn't changed.

The class files in the jar won't do you all much good, so here's a tar of the java files. Happy hunting.
