Hi!
I’m exploring using Mayan EDMS as a way to organize documents in the company and make some of them available outside as elements of online scientific publications (mostly: figures and diagrams, but also some PDFs).
For that the most important function for us is the web link - we need to be able to paste such a link (typically to the latest version of the file in a document) on some external web page and such a link should be available to everyone.
I tried to check how that works but the web link functionality has suprisingly little love in the Mayan documentation, there is not even a chapter about that anywhere, just some notes in the version history.
And unfortunately when I played around, I immediately got into trouble - none of the links I created work - one (to some metadata) shows a Mayan-themed web page with a “Page not found” error, another - to the latest file - just a browser error 410.
My questions are:
- is there any description how to configure the web links so that they are available and can be read by the public?
- does what I wrote above sound as some obvious misconfiguration that I can easily fix?
- (this one is more into details: ) it seems that the web link is configurable on the document type level, is there a way to define it on a cabinet level, so that the users can decide what files will be published to the outside world sand what will not?
Thanks in advance!
Pawel
