Uploaded File Viewer (airdoc)

I have uploaded MSword and Excel files using a field of the type of "file"
They display and download fine; as one would expect.

I have added the plugin aridoc by ARI-soft.com

It does a great job displaying documents on the front end.

The plugin is used like this:
{aridoc engine="google" width="595" height="750"}/documents/my-uploaded-file.doc{/aridoc}

During entry, I add the file and it stores it perfectly.

I can display the file when it is in a text area using the above plugin call. But this is outside of the user's capability. I need to display the plugin calls using the file name.

Neither of the following work:

"Every Value Prefix" {aridoc engine="google" width="595" height="750"}/documents/
"Every Value Suffix" {/aridoc}

"Opening Text for Field" {aridoc engine="google" width="595" height="750"}/documents/
"Closing Text for Field" {/aridoc}

How do I display the file name in a template with the above plugin prefix and suffix?

Thanks so much.

Hello

yes, the parameters for to enable Joomla content plugin triggering exist in most fields

- but are missing from file field

I have added them, visit URL:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/tree/3.0.x-stable

Click "Download or Clone" / "Download ZIP"

then install in testing web-site by uploading the package via Joomla extension manager (Joomla extension installer)

WOW!

Thank you for addressing this so quickly. Unheard of response time. I'll put in a big positive in a JED review.

I have created the zip and will build in a new test environment.

...will let you know.

Thanks.

Installed the beta version.
Still no joy. The plugin "trys" to display the file, but if the parameters are not exact, the plugin shows "No preview available"

I the dev. site I placed the correct plugin call within the description area and it does show fine.

Something is changing the outputted string for the "field" display, but I don't know how to see it before rendering.

Hello

in most case you also need to enable parameter (Read the popup description):

"Remove space"


otherwise the plugin code may fail
