I have made a webmap using QGIS2Web. I am able to attach pdf documents using the line
<a target="_blank" href="file:///C:/xxx.pdf">google report</a>
When the webmap source files (shown in the image below) are on a local drive,it is possible to access the pdf. However, when i move them to a server, i can't access the pdf files.
Is it possible to have them in a folder in similar location to that of the source files and if so how do i edit the code to read them?
Change the URL in your link either to an absolute URL like:
https://www.yourdomain/com/path/to/files/filenameXXX.pdf
Or, if you are putting the PDFs in a subfolder within the webmap folder, use a relative URL like:
./pdf/filenameXXX.pdf
You can use nextgis.com to host you QGIS maps and attachments out of the box (see http://docs.nextgis.com/docs_ngweb/source/layers_settings.html#adding-photos-to-geodata). Any files are supported, but only for images now available preview capability.
Documentation is here.
