Is PhocaPDF supposed to only work in IE?

Post by magestyx »

I've installed PhocaPDF on a site: www.soulrevolver.com . (Right now it's only being used on the one article in the article page.) When I view the site in IE, phoca works great. When I use Firefox, it only uses the base PDF creator that comes with Joomla. I can see the "format=phocapdf" part of the link is "format=pdf" in Firefox. It works fine if I copy and paste the link and change the format in the query string to phocapdf. But why would the links be different in IE and FF? I've tried over and over and cleared cache and everything-- the phoca link just doesn't show in FF, but I thought it was supposed to?

Thanks for the very nice component and plugin.

Hi try to check your SEF, see parameters of Phoca PDF, there are two methods how to modify core files, maybe the second method will work for you.

Can you be more specific? I don't see any SEF parameters for Phoca. The only SEF I'm using is the base patch of Joomla that is located under the Global Configuration. And the only option under the Phoca parameters itself is "Show Editor - Yes/No". It seems the PHP should be the same for all browsers, and I can't see where it's going wrong.

Jan,

thanks for the help. In my version I went to: Phoca PDF>Plugins>PDF>SEF and set it to No. Both the other options had problems for me in FF and sometimes in IE as well. With the SEF set to No, it seems to be working fine in both browsers.
