When a user tries to download a PDF file uploaded to a given record, they get index.php instead of the attached PDF file.

I have followed the documentation on implementing PDF uploads (http://framework.weblite.ca/documentation/how-to/how-to-handle-file-uploads/?searchterm=pdf) and verified I did so correctly.

This issue occurs in Firefox and Internet Explorer but not Konqueror (I suspect it works fine in Safari since that one is Konqueror/ KHTML based).

Thank you!

Mike

Can you clarify on the "Open with" bit? I tried right-clicking and then "Save as" with no luck in both browsers (in Firefox it's "Save Link As").

Mike

That isn't working

Can we have those changes when you get a minute or two?

Mike

Thanks for the patch!

The problem now is that the file name is still index.php (not sure about before) and if you rename the file after downloading, a PDF application can open it with no problems.

How can we get it to preserve the file name?

Thanks,
Mike

Scratch that last post. I thought I would try re-downloading the patch and ftp'ing again. I guess something went wrong, or maybe I even forgot to upload the patch. At any rate, it is working properly now with firefox and I'm sure it will work the same with IE but I better check.


Thanks again,

Mike
