    Is it possible to have HTML documents open in the browser (vs download). Happy to hack the plugin if I need to on this one.

    I tried adding the mime type text/html but it’s still downloading.

    Additionally what if we want to add any sort of external link, say a YouTube video?

    Any hints in direction in the code would be greatly appreciated.

    Both of these items are on my feature request list, but have not been implemented yet. Stay tuned ??

    Awesome, great to know, can you point me in the direction to change the code myself, I can do it, just needs some direction. I can perhaps check the extension and open in a new window vs download? We need this for a project and it’s a must have before we can launch this week.

    To alter the way download are handled you can look at the file mdocs-downloads.php, there you could make modifications to get your desired results.

    You could also you the mdocs preview to display the html code as well.

    just upload a html file, then click on the files dropdown menu and press the preview button.

    or from the post click on the preview tab.

    sorry I misunderstood what you wanted. Preview will not work that way it will only output the html code.

    You will have to modify the mdocs-downloads.php file if you want that functionality .
