Siw Helen Thorslund	Wednesday 26 April 2006 1:19:24 pm Maybe this is a stupid question, but I just can't remember how to open a PDF directly in a new browser window from link in Online Editor. I'm using this code: Read the <link href='ezobject://373' target='_blank'>PDF</link> here. Any idea how to get this to work? I do not want to open the full view of PDF, but the direct link to the file... www.VZT.no ( http://www.VZT.no ) VZT References ( http://http://vzt.no/index.php/vzt_eng/referanser ) VZT Extensions ( http://vzt.no/index.php/vzt_eng/extensions ) www.MediaBase.no ( http://www.MediaBase.no )
Łukasz Serwatka	Wednesday 26 April 2006 11:22:32 pm Hi Siw, You will need to use content/pdf/<node_id> and generate PDF file on the fly. Read the <link href='content/pdf/<node_id>' target='_blank'>PDF</link> here. Personal website -> http://serwatka.net Blog (about eZ Publish) -> http://serwatka.net/blog
Siw Helen Thorslund	Thursday 27 April 2006 1:50:31 am I do not want that article as an pdf, but I want the link to a certain pdf uploaded in the media gallery. The link to where it is located in the var directory. How to do this as easy for the user as possible? www.VZT.no ( http://www.VZT.no ) VZT References ( http://http://vzt.no/index.php/vzt_eng/referanser ) VZT Extensions ( http://vzt.no/index.php/vzt_eng/extensions ) www.MediaBase.no ( http://www.MediaBase.no )
Vicente Olivan	Thursday 27 April 2006 2:29:31 am It would have to work. Test also: Read the <link href='eznode://373' target='_blank'>PDF</link> here. Regadrs
Łukasz Serwatka	Thursday 27 April 2006 2:30:40 am User can use /content/download/2241/22891 instead of /content/download/2241/22891/version/1/file/file.pdf. So basically have to remember object_id and attribute_id. With ezobject and eznode you can link to object/node not to attribute of object. There is no easy way to do this. Furthermore uploaded files are renamed (ezbinaryfile) e.g var/plain/storage/original/application/0dd976dd601a968d7dda515340dc5939.pdf all information are in database and eZ publish download module hadle it.

Siw Helen Thorslund	Thursday 27 April 2006 12:30:38 pm That works, but is not a very good solution for the users. But I guess I have to do it this way for now... What about having it to open directly in the browser window? Not for download like the code in the example; /content/download/2241/22891. I tried; /content/view/full/2241/22891, but no luck. (Still the problem is within Online Editor) Any suggestions? www.VZT.no ( http://www.VZT.no ) VZT References ( http://http://vzt.no/index.php/vzt_eng/referanser ) VZT Extensions ( http://vzt.no/index.php/vzt_eng/extensions ) www.MediaBase.no ( http://www.MediaBase.no )
Siw Helen Thorslund	Wednesday 31 May 2006 5:34:09 pm This is still not a very good solution for the users. I have tried something like: {section show=$href\|contains("pdf")} PDF <a href={$href\|ezroot()}{section show=$id} id="{$id}"{/section}{section show=$title} title="{$title}"{/section}{section show=$target} target="{$target}"{/section}{section show=ne($classification\|trim,'')} class="{$classification\|wash}"{/section}>{$content}</a> {section-else} OTHER <a href={$href\|ezurl}{section show=$id} id="{$id}"{/section}{section show=$title} title="{$title}"{/section}{section show=$target} target="{$target}"{/section}{section show=ne($classification\|trim,'')} class="{$classification\|wash}"{/section}>{$content}</a> {/section} I need for the PDF to direct to it's filepath to directly open it, and not end up with linking to the full view of the object. In ezxhtmlxmloutput.php handler, I can see only 'href', 'target', 'classification', 'title', 'content', and 'id' ... which are of no use. Anyone with a good idea how to solve this? www.VZT.no ( http://www.VZT.no ) VZT References ( http://http://vzt.no/index.php/vzt_eng/referanser ) VZT Extensions ( http://vzt.no/index.php/vzt_eng/extensions ) www.MediaBase.no ( http://www.MediaBase.no )
Heiner Wurbs	Tuesday 29 August 2006 3:13:41 am This is a solution, not perfect, but it works {section show=$href\|contains("pdfdownloads")} {def $my_node=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_path', $href ) )} {again a condition, to be sure, it is a pdf file} {section show=$my_node.object.data_map.file.content.original_filename\|ends_with( '.pdf' )} <a href=/content/download/{$my_node.object.data_map.file.contentobject_id}/{$my_node.object.data_map.file.id}/file/{$my_node.object.data_map.file.content.original_filename }>{$content\|wash( xhtml )}</a> {section-else} <a href={$href\|ezurl}{section show=$id} id="{$id}"{/section}{section show=$title} title="{$title}"{/section}{section show=$target} target="{$target}"{/section}{section show=ne($classification\|trim,'')} class="{$classification\|wash}"{/section}>{$content}</a> {/section} {section-else} <a href={$href\|ezurl}{section show=$id} id="{$id}"{/section}{section show=$title} title="{$title}"{/section}{section show=$target} target="{$target}"{/section}{section show=ne($classification\|trim,'')} class="{$classification\|wash}"{/section}>{$content}</a> {/section} it fetches the node by the $href, which is my case sth like media/pdfdownloads/myfiles/mypdf.pdf To be sure, that it is a pdf, I added an ends_with condition. Greetings Heiner PS: this is definitiv more comfortable for users than an object relation. The user can simply add a link on any text or object and search for a node or object
