Regular members dont see the pdfs. It shows them like they are broken images. Just an X on the boxes. Can somebody please help me?

Also is there anyway to adjust the size of the boxes for pdfs? or maybe it would be a nice feature for the next version.

Thanks.

great mod - works fine with Firefox - but when using IE i have run into problems. May someone is having an idea?

I'm having the same issue in SMF 2.0.3 - works fine in FF but not in IE10 (shows the frame of the box but just an X in the upper left corner).


FOLLOW UP:  IE10 32-bit will display the pdf but not 64-bit. So if you insist on using IE, be sure it's the 32-bit version. Otherwise just use FF or Chrome, etc.

aoife,

 pdf file types will open in IE10 (64 bit) (via Adobe Reader) with a simple adjustment. This is assuming that you have Adobe Reader installed on your computer.

Open your IE10 64bit browser & navigate to the following:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Programs -> Set Programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program

.. it may take a moment to load all the varios file types. Scroll down to pdf file type & double click.. Opt Adobe Reader as the program to open those files, click OK & then click CLOSE.

After the above setting change you should be able to view pdf documents using the IE10 64bit browser (which uses Adobe Reader to view them/it).

Thank you for the suggestion. I use Adobe Acrobat X and don't have Reader installed on my machines. The .pdf files are associated with Acrobat already - I redid the association and it still does not work with 64-bit. However, it works fine using IE10 32-bit; IE is not my default browser. I was simply looking for a solution for folks that are using the forums and who do use Internet Explorer - it's a solution I found on the Acrobat site.

Is there any way to embed an attached PDF?

[0Connors]

Hi all,

Firstly i will say thank you for the mod !

Then i have a question : How i can change zoom of the PDF file for have the perfect scale ?

Example on my website : http://pafteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=5761.0

Thank you,

[MrMike]

I don't know about setting the zoom, but you can set the widow size by modifying the code in Subs.php as follows:

Code: [Select]

// PDF [pdf]example.pdf[/pdf]
         array(
            'tag' => 'pdf',
            'type' => 'unparsed_content',
            'content' => ($context['browser']['is_ie'] && !$context['browser']['is_mac_ie'] ? '<object type="application/pdf" classid="clsid:CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000" data="$1" width="800" height="600"><param name="src" value="$1"><embed src="$1" width="800" height="600" /><noembed><a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a></noembed></object>' : '<embed type="application/pdf" src="$1" width="800" height="600" /><noembed><a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a></noembed>'),
            'validate' => create_function('&$tag, &$data, $disabled', '
               if (isset($disabled[\'url\']))
                  $tag[\'content\'] = \'$1\';'),
            'disabled_content' => '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>',
         ),

Aloha, is this MOD still supported? We are updating all our sites and the create_function code needs to be updated in this mod for PHP 7.2. If the MOD is not supported I will make the changes going forward for our sites.

This mod has a couple of shortcomings as you need the pdf to be located on your system and even then, it will only work on the desktop and not Android cellphones. It also has a 500px by 400px frame.

I have built a 1.3 version for a larger frame using 800x1000 pixels but decided to use this instead HTML code instead:

[html]<embed src="https://website/example.pdf" width="800px" height="1000px" />[/html]


For Android (cell phones) this link needs to be taken but works well for any online pdf:

please do not upload mods without the mod authors consent

[aegersz]

Oh sorry about that - I didn't see any copyright so I thought it was ok.

It won't happen again.

[shadav]

there's more or less a blanket copyright here on smf....rule of thumb it's not ok to upload the entire mod without the mod authors ok...but you can put in a post instructions on how to update the mod for others use.

  no worries, I've been slapped myself for doing that as well
