PDF Preview no longer working

    I just noticed this with the update to v.1.60, but reverting the files to 1.52 didn’t resolve the issue. So, I’m not sure when this issue appeared.

    I’m using both a fairly advanced shortcode (see my previous post) and a simple instance. Neither is currently generating a preview in the gallery. I either get a broken image icon (complex example) or a completely blank field (simple example).

    For quick reference, here’s my usage:

    Complex
    [mla_gallery tax_query="array('relation' => 'AND', array('taxonomy' => 'attachment_category','field' => 'slug','terms' => 'maps-assault-offenses'),array('taxonomy' => 'attachment_category','field' => 'slug','terms' => 'maps-victims-under-25','operator' => 'NOT IN'))" mla_caption="{+title+}" post_mime_type="application/pdf" link="file" mla_target="_blank" mla_viewer="true" mla_viewer_width="250"]

    Simple
    [mla_gallery attachment_category=’maps-assault-offenses,maps-victims-under-25′ tax_operator=’AND’ mla_caption=”{+title+}” post_mime_type=”application/pdf” link=”file” mla_target=”_blank” mla_viewer=”true” mla_viewer_width=”250″]

    I’m poking around a little bit more. They suddenly started working again (didn’t change anything, still on 1.52). I’m going to try updating to 1.60 again, and see what happens.

    Maybe the Google Viewer service was just down.

    Yup, seems to be working fine on 1.60. It must have just been a service outage or something on Google’s side.

    Thanks for this report.

    I just ran a few tests and the mla_viewer feature is running on my test site without problems. I tested v1.51 and v1.60; both are working.

    When you click on the thumbnails, do you get to the actual documents?

    Do the “thumbnails” in your galleries look like this:

    <img src="https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https://jetpack.fairtradejudaica.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Landscape.xls&a=bi&pagenumber=1&w=400" alt="Landscape">

    If all of that checks out, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser. Another customer had this problem a while back and clearing the browser cache solved it for him.

    Give these a try and let me know how it goes. If you can post a link to the troubled page I can have a closer look.

    Yup, everything was working just fine – the links to the documents, for example. It was just a broken “thumbnail”.

    Like I mentioned above, it seems to have corrected itself, which is what leads me to believe it was an issue on Google’s end. I didn’t clear my cache or anything.

    That’s great news; thanks for the update. I’m going to mark this issue resolved, but let me know if you have any further problems or questions.

    No problem. Sorry for what appears to have been a false alarm, and thanks for the expeditious response.
