Document Title

  • Is there a way to display the title of a PDF document above the viewer. In this case, the title would be the link text. For example, I have a page with a list of documents. If the user clicks a document name, the document is displayed using the plugin. Not all documents have a title page and, if you select a different page, the title may not appear in the display. I’d like to be able to display the document title above the viewer. Any help/ideas you might have would be a great help.

  • GDE doesn’t currently keep track of document titles, although you can use the filename in the download link. You would have to put the title text in yourself at the place you want it to appear.

    Thanks for the quick response. Almost there. If I add a parameter to the link, I can get it with:

    <?php
echo $_GET['url'];
?>

    and then manually style and place it where I want it to appear. Unfortunately, the links are generated using the “Link Category Posts” plugin so I cannot easily add the parameter. The link appears as <a title="2014 Proposed Budget" href="https://69.195.124.143/~thecovf5/2014/01/04/2014-proposed-budget/">2014 Proposed Budget</a>
    The report title is “2014 Proposed Budget”. The title argument will always be the document name. Guess I’ll see if I can modify the Link Category Posts plugin to append the title value as a parameter at the end of the link.

    Thanks again for you quick response.
