W2003 web server
Zoom Pro
plugins are installed
extensions added

Almost all of our .doc .pdf, etc. files are located on another server. Zoom skips indexing these files. I have gone through the faq section. I do not know if the Javascript faq applies. Below is the top section of code for you to check out.

I have given permissions for the web server to access the data server.

I presume you are using Spider Mode indexing.

The first problem here is that those are not actually links. The path for those files are simply values in a dropdown box. You are using Javascript to make it possible for the user to open them. As explained in this FAQ (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/support/faq_problems.html#javascriptmenus), it is not possible for the spider to follow Javascript generated "links".

Consult the FAQ linked above for a solution to provide actual hypertext links to the files within the Javascript menu (using a <noscript> tag block).

Once you have actual hypertext links to these files, you should also make sure you have enabled "Scan files linked via file:// URLs" in the Configuration window (under the "Scan Options" tab).

Hope that helps.
