I forgot to add I'm using the ftp backend. Not sure this has any 
relevance for this specific problem.

This can only happen if the link target is not identified as a 
folder, i.e. it really isn't one, or you don't have permissions to 
change to it.
But it is a directory

drwxrws---  3 root     mygroup   4096 2009-11-10 21:25 mydir

and I can access it since the user is a member mygroup.

Also if I manually chdir to it via the "Change folder" button it works 
just fine. I just do not get a direct link.

This is the HTML in the File Manager page, as you can see, no link.

...
<tr>
   <td style="text-align:center"><input type="checkbox" 
class="checkbox" name="items[]" value="dir" /></td>

   <td sortval="**sym" class="rightAlign"><input type="hidden" 
name="itemTypes[]" value="**sym" /><img 
src="/gollem/themes/graphics/folder_symlink.png" alt="symlink" 
title="" />&nbsp;</td>


   <td>dir -> /srv/mydir/</td>


   <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>


   <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>


   <td sortval="1257862560">Tuesday, 10 November 2009</td>


   <td class="rightAlign">12</td>


   <td class="rightAlign fixed">&nbsp;lrwxrwxrwx&nbsp;</td>


   <td class="rightAlign">-</td>


   <td class="rightAlign">-</td>

I don't see a code path where symlinks to directories could *not* have a link.

The symbolic links are not clickable, but the targets are, which are 
right next to the links.
Actually, I can't click anything to follow the symlink. Is this a bug?

Hello,

symbolic links to directories in the Gollem File Manager aren't 
clickable to follow the link. Anyway, if you use the "Change Folder" 
button in the toolbar and type the symlink name you are able to change 
directory.

Can symlinks to directories be made clickable? This seems trivial to 
implement and the right expected behaviour.

thanks
