Concrete5 File Association Ability
Permalink
Hello,
Is there a way to create unique file associations? I have a file extension for ViewPoint. When I post the "file" to the Document Library I want the user to be able to click on it and see the ViewPoint file rather than the instructions. At this point they only see this window:
[Data]
View=ESSENTIA.XXX.ORG/XXX/BILLDATE
[Function]
Option=VIEW
QuietMode=N
Logging=N
[Command]
Switches="C:\Program Files (x86)\SEQUEL ViewPoint\ViewPoint.exe" /V:ESSENTIA.XXX.ORG/XXX/BILLDATE /Q:N
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Spencer

Is that type of file viewable in a web browser?
Yes. It opens in a web browser. The client uses Firefox.

I got a little more information. I was incorrect about the web browser window. When a user clicks the file it should be associated with Viewpoint and either ask the user if s/he wants to open the file using Viewpoint or just open it (if they have already answered this).
I need to tell Concrete5 that the file extension requires it to open Viewpoint rather than opening the script in a web browser window.
Thanks

You can't do that, thats set by the operating system, not concrete5, the OS/Browser controls that
