[Plugin: WP Document Revisions] Possible to view rather than just download?

More info – right now we are working with .pdf files – trying to get it so that people can view the PDF in their browser rather than have it where they download it and then have to use another program to open it.

Let me look into that. It looks like it should just be a matter of passing a setting to the browser when the file is served in most cases, but obviously has a lot to do with the user’s browser/settings.

I opened up an “issue” over on github if you want to track the progress and hope to have an answer soon.

Much appreciated!!

Also, I assume this is IE / Windows?

So I’m going to want to test this a bit more before I look into making the change in the core plugin, but it’s actually a really simple fix:

If you’re comfortable, on line 725 of the main plugin file, simply change the word “attachment” to “inline” and you should be all set.

here’s a zip of the patched version. Let me know if this works for you? (If you could test on multiple browsers, if possible, would be greatly appreciated!)

Works like a champ in Chrome / Mac OS X 10.7.3

Will check it out in other browsers when I get a chance.

The isstructions read:

If you’re comfortable, on line 725 of the main plugin file, simply change the word “attachment” to “inline” and you should be all set.

But when I go to line 725v I only fin\d this –

if ( false === $mime[ ‘type’ ] && function_exists( ‘mime_content_type’ ) )

I don’t see the word, ‘attachment’.

Have I missed something?

This is a great plugin, but I really need the ability for viewers to see the file too. They need to see what is already present, content-wise, before they decide if an edit is necessary.

Is this possible?
