I just started using CB, and think it's great. Yesterday I signed up as a Professional, and began using the CB AJAX File Field plugin for a site I'm designing. I want users to be able to upload files as part of their profile, and for other users to be able to view those files.
I have been able to set up a test field to allow for a file upload, which works great. I can also successfully change that file when updating that user's profile. But, when I log on as another user, and attempt to view the file (by clicking on the file's link), the file automatically downloads to my pc. I don't want this to happen. I want another user to be able to view the file instead of download it. I want to allow for a multitude of file types, from images, pdf docs to MS Office files.
I tried various configurations within the Field Manager for this item, but can't seem to get this to happen. I would appreciate any advice on how I can implement this feature.
It always sends the file as an attachment header. It's meant to provide upload and download, it was never developed to be a file viewer and not all filetypes can be viewed; typically only PDF, TXT, and images can be, but regardless it does not allow viewing as it's designed to download. You can change this by editing the plugin and changing how it sends the header (please note I can not help you with this as we do not support edits).
