I added a custom link to the Course Menu. However, it will not file the file I want to link to. The file was uploaded with File Manager. I attempted to copy/paste the HREF of the file into the URL box in the Edit Custom Link dialogue, but that does not work either. How do I get the correct url for the file? Thank you!

I just tried to do this using a file in the file manager and was also unsuccessful.

I did find this workaround.I  moved the file to the Public Files folder in the File manager.  I then clicked on the action link menu to copy the URL location.

I thne added the full url and it looks like it works.  for example the URL location was

webct/RelativeResourceManager/Template/Public Files/m1_01_intro.html

I added the beginning of the url as

https://your server name.edu/webct/RelativeResourceManager/Template/Public Files/m1_01_intro.html

Try this out and see if it works for you.

Hope this helps

Ah - I wasn't adding the file to the Public Folder first. That did it. Thanks, Harold!!
