Bookmarks viewlets don't allow links to Notes DBs


Amy Laird (16514) | asked Oct 20 '08, 1:26 p.m.

I encountered an issue in a Bookmarks viewlet while trying to add a link to a Notes database. In the Bookmarks viewlet, when you type an address in the URL field, there seems to be a default that automatically appends the prefix "http://" to the URL. Even if you edit the URL to remove the prefix, it automatically reinserts it when you save the edited entry. This breaks the link to a Notes database, which doesn't require the "http://" prefix, and I wonder if it does the same to an ftp address. Is there any way to remove the default "http://" prefix, or allow a user to remove that default prefix if a link doesn't require it?

Hello,
I was able to add a link to a Notes DB using the following params.
notes://IP_ADDRESS/notes_dir/databse.nsf?OpenDatabase
where you add the Notes Server IP Address, the notes directory and the
database name.
See screen cap.
Save your changes.
When clicking the newly added entry, FF3 will ask to open the linked
item with Domino (second screen cap)
