open pdf in new window

Hi tomcazoom,

it depends on your browser. It seems PDF are open in your browser because you have a PDF viewer, right ? When I click on a PDF on my computer, it is downloaded, never displayed in the browser. That’s why I don’t know if there is something to do.

You can try manually to change the behaviour and tell me if it works or not…

1. First, edit file wordpress/wp-content/plugins/s2member-secure-file-browser/class/psk_s2msfb.class.php
2. Go to line 1228 (or near this one…)
3. Replace line
$li .= '<div class="jftctn"><a href="#" class="link" rel="' . $link . '">' . $display_name . $extended . '</a>';
by
$li .= '<div class="jftctn"><a href="#" class="link" target="_blank" rel="' . $link . '">' . $display_name . $extended . '</a>';
4. Verify that files are opened in a new window now

It will do the trick for all files. If it works, I will tell you how to enable this feature only for pdf files.

thanks for your response.

Unfortunately it did not work. We only offer pdf files so it would have been ok to enable it for all files.

Ok… last chance :

Go to the Dashboard > s2member > Download Options > Inline File Extensions

and try to add the pdf extension to force s2member to deliver the file inline instead of via download…

Does it work with your PDF plugin ?

It is already set as loading pdfs as inline file extension.

Thanks, we’ll have someone look into it.

Ok. Sorry I can’t help you.

Please let me know if you have found a solution !
