CentraSite EE External Link Enhancer Plug-In
 
The benefits of this Plug-In
This Plug-In makes the creation of external links even easier. With this Plug-In, you can upload, connect, or browse for documents or similar items that you want to connect to a registered item within CentraSite.
External links can be created by either browsing the file system or the repository. If selecting files from the file system, the Plug-In will ask if the file also should be uploaded to the repository.
 
Technical Requirements
CentraSite Community Edition, CentraSite Enterprise Edition. We recommend you use this Plug-In with Firefox or other Gecko-based browsers.
