Add Documents or links to Documentation List

[jgesser]

Can custom documents be added to the list of documentation on the main page? Also is it possible to add links in the list? Example I would like to provide my users a link to our wiki page.
If so which file(s) need to be edited to do so.

Thanks
Jim

just copy your document on [install folder]/docs, check permissions (may be user used to run webserver can have some issues to access it)
no standard way to add a link
Try configuring a custom item ON MENU (dig config* files and files on /const/ dir)

Apologies for reviving an old post. I am posting an example here in case anyone searching for the same topic reads this thread.

Here is how I added a hyperlink linking to a Word document that is hosted on a separate (MS Sharepoint) server.

In my solution, the hyperlink is not located inside the Documentation drop-down box. Instead it is a separate bullet item, located above the drop down chooser.

Not the most elegant solution, but works well for hyperlinks that won't change often.
