Hello,
I'm working nder Joomla 3 and your extension Phocadownload. I put files of different types available to users according to their group . But they must first download and open them in a second time . Is it not possible that they are open immediately in the application defined by default? ( Reader for pdf, Word for Doc ... )
Thanks for your advice
Noël

Hi, when download function is used, then the files are downloaded immediately, when preview function is used, then it is opened in browser or default program - so enable preview function.

Hi, just select the file for preview in file edit (administration - editing of file) and then enable the preview button in Options.

No doubt I'm the most dunce forum but I do not see where activate this button ; pages obtained by editing the options for files are in ab archive in this link

Open my eyes please!

Edit : perhaps I found a solution putting on the option showed on http://ndubau.free.fr/tempo/phoca_optio ... direct.png ?
But the button stays "Download" and not "Preview" !

Hi, preview button is a button to preview the file (the file needs to be image or pdf), and you should set the file for preview.
Direct link - when you select the direct link, the URL (click on button) goes directly to the file and depends on user's OS how the file will be handled.
