Hi,
For my projects I crate a technical documentation DVD, what is a copy of the documentation on my HDD. The documentation is divided into 2 areas:
C :\Paths\Documentation\CommonFilesPath\ (Datasheets and similar, common for all customers and projects)
C :\Paths\Documentation\UserProjects\ (Contains customer projects files like application related manuals .....)
There are lots of links from "\UserProjects\" to "\CommonFilesPath\" and linked contents from "\CommonFilesPath\" in files in "\UserProjects\"
After a project has been finished the customer will get a DVD with documentation with
...\Documentation\CommonFilesPath\contents
...\Documentation\UserProjects\contents
Because of relative hyperlinks that works fine on my HDD and also on DVD
Some users have virtual disks for that documentation, I have remote ftp access and can keep their documentation up to date, and relative hyperlinks also work fine.
In future I want to offer an additional service for users with limited IT: Documentation should be on my WebSpace-providers's server, My customers and I have access from anywhere. That is not a problem if I create
customer1\Documentation\CommonFilesPath\
customer1\Documentation\UserProjects\
customer2\Documentation\CommonFilesPath\
customer2\Documentation\UserProjects\
.
.
.
and so on. Each customer has limited access only to his folders
But that solution is not elegant, Multiple copies of "CommonFilesPath\ " need to be on the webdisk (1 for each customer", and each of those folders would need my maintenance. I do want a solution
allcustomers\Documentation\CommonFilesPath\ (access for all customers)
customer1\Documentation\UserProjects\ (accesonly customer 1)
customer2\Documentation\UserProjects\ (accesonly customer 1)
Currently I only kn ow a solution what would need 2 "users" for each customer (and me)
From 1 PC the same real person
as User "allcustomers" has access to that folder "allcustomers\"
as User "customer1" has access to "customer1\"
File access works, but links between "allcustomers" and "customer1" (and vice versa) do not work.
My test :
allcustomers\Documentation\UserProjects\commonfile.yyy
allcustomers\Documentation\UserProjects\picture.png
customer2\Documentation\UserProjects\userfile.xxx
"picture.png" is linked contents used in "userfile.xxx"and should be shown in "userfile.xxx"
In "userfile.xxx" there is a hyperlink to "commonfile.yyy", click on that link should open "commonfile.yyy"
None of the links betwen "allcustomers" and "customerX" will work.
Any idea how to solve that problem without any changes in documentation files on my HDD??
