List File - Open PDF online

[Lorenzo Castellan]

Hi, my name is Lorenzo and I am writing from Parma, Italy.
He has been using Phoca Download for some time and I think I know him well. I have a small problem, in the "file list" view how can I impose to open PDF online without having to download it first?

Hi,
if you mean the PDF preview, see this example:

At first you need to enable the Preview Button: backend --> Components --> Phoca Download --> Control Panel --> Options --> Display --> Preview Settings --> Display Preview Button=Yes
Then you need to setup the preview in file edit: Copy the to be previewed PDF file also to /phocadownloadpap/ folder and select it:


The result in Frontend is the Preview button:


When you click this button, the PDF will be previewed:


Kind regards,
Benno

Hi, thanks for that - but it's not working.

For the image it says: An error occurred.
For the PDF it says: The requested page can't be found.

The files exists because I was able to download them both.

Thanks!

Hi,
which Phoca Download Component version do you use?
which Joomla! version do you use?
which URL?

Kind regards,
Benno
