It would benice if the preview file also can be accessed by an url like 'index.php?option=com_jdownloads&task=download.send&id=XX'
for example:
index.php?option=com_jdownloads&task=preview.send&id=XX
That way:
- The preview also would work with a secured directory
- I can extend my pdfviewer with an preview option. ;D
Hi,
where shall be here the bug? I do not understand what you really mean.
Yes I see i do not mention that to clearly. ;D
Preview uses a direct file link because of that in the following situations preview wont work:
1. you set the setting security 'Protect your Download Directory' to yes
2. If your download folder is outsite the public html folder
when the file would be called with the jdownloads php script it could keep working.
Tazzios,Which browser were you using? I ask because Crome requires a https: and it might be being generated as http:
This is often the case with older installations.

Firefox.
I run into this problem al long time ago(2 years maybe?) but back then i deed not needed the preview function.
attached some more detailed info.
