I am trying to get phpMyAdmin to show the image/link for a field that has a local path.
For example, the path of my picture is Z:/Koala.jpg.

I’ve setup MIME type: plain/txt and the Browser Transformation: txt/plain imagelink.
It works for online images where the picture has http:// but not for files stored on my local hard drive.

It actually shows the Z:/Koala.jpg as a link and underlined, but it won’t open anything when I click. phpMyAdmin appends file:\\ but I’ve tried both ways and no luck. Multiple browsers too.

PS Z:/ is a mapped network drive of my Network attached storage. But it doesn’t work even if I use C:/…..
