[File plugin] get path to display PDF in Fancybox was created by yopyop001

Hi,

I have a content type with a file field (PDF).
I need to open the file for reading in a fancybox. (and download / send button too). It will be a 'Quick view' button...

In $item->fields, there is a value to download () but not the path to the file. Is there a way to get it in item template?

Thanks a lot.

Regards

Hello

Code:

$item->fields['field_name']->url

is an array that was added for a similar developer need,

-- what you ask/suggest makes sense to add and will be in v2.1.3 final, to add it now edit plugin file:
.../flexicontent_fields/file/file.php

and after:

Code:

$field->url[]	=  $dl_link;

add:

Code:

$basePath = $file_data->secure ? COM_FLEXICONTENT_FILEPATH : COM_FLEXICONTENT_MEDIAPATH;
$file->abspath[] = str_replace(DS, '/', JPath::clean($basePath.DS.$file_data->filename));

Regards

Thanks Georgios,

Just a little mistake :

Replace

Code:

$file->abspath[] = str_replace(DS, '/', JPath::clean($basePath.DS.$file_data->filename));

Code:

$field->abspath[] = str_replace(DS, '/', JPath::clean($basePath.DS.$file_data->filename));

Now looking for a pdf viewer able to open and display the file (even if there are in secure folder)

Hello

r1683, added this without any extra JS lib:

to give more details, it was added as 1 more action to file field:
- in-browser viewing
(we already have)
- download
- share
- add to download cart (needs download cart module)

-- did the above, since all recent version of firefox / chrome / ie / etc have built-in PDF viewer , and older ones have some PDF plugin installed (e.g. adobe acrobat)

the view will open in a popup box and browser will be asked to display it inline (content-disposition HTTP header is to 'inline' = view , instead of 'attachment' = download)
