antp.be forum

I am trying to edit the datapath variable in index.html so that I can store my database files and template files on my NAS and view the html through any local device through wifi. Android tablet, android phone or Wii.
I have tried using various UNC paths but am not having any luck.
I have tried
file:\\\\\
file:\\
http:\\
all with the servername and the IP address.
All I get is "Please Wait! Loading of movie database in progress"
Has anyone done this successfully?
Any ideas?

Thanks Rod

Apologies this was meant to be a reply in
Template for dynamic web page view version 4.0 by BonieNL
It refers to that template.
Could moderator please fix

If that has to be posted in another thread, you should rather go post it there then - I do not think that the forum has a feature for merging threads.

About the problem, URLs use "/" and not "\".
However UNC paths used without file/http prefix use "\" and should be in the form \\machine\path\file

http:// is only available if you have a http server running.
In other cases file:// might work, but what is the full path syntax that you used?

Thanks moderator.
I had typo in post i had actually tried "/" and "\" still not having any luck.
I have reposted in the correct topic and am happy for you to delete this.
Apologies again
Rod
