Description
Problem:
Different computers use different protocols and mount points to access data repositories. The fields in alyx are not general enough to allow users to easily construct an absolute file path for accessing a specific data record.
Suggested solution:
Changing the current fields so that there are 'base paths' for different protocols, e.g. http, smb. These should assume the user mounts or otherwise accesses the data from the root directory so that when combined with the relative path a complete path can be constructed.
@kdharris101 suggested perhaps having a different data repository type, however this would be a many-to-many relationship.
@nsteinme may also have an opinion on this.
