 | Pierre 6/16/2022 3:01:29 PM @Slava : Thanks a lot
@the rest of us:
Slava provided me the following solution, which works beautifully in the forms as well as in the tables.
----- start quote ----
please consider using Formula-XHTML column with following formula for that:
<embed src="<% URLRoot() & "/attachment.aspx?fid=" & ColumnId([File Attachment Column]) & "&id=" & RecordId() %>" width="100%" height="800" type='application/pdf' ></embed>
----- end of quote ----
I wish I asked earlier !
This works with pdfs
to be perfectly efficient:
- we should make a formula working with pdf as well as images (jpeg...) - I will propose one soon
- TeamDesk coud incorporate this natively in the form when viewing pdf fields
Kind regards,
Pierre

----- start quote ----
If you've allowed Public Access to the attachment column then it's better use following formula:
<embed src="<% URLRoot() & "/attachment.aspx?fid=" & ColumnId([File Attachment Column]) & "&guid=" & Right([File Attachment Column], ";") %>" width="100%" height="800" type='application/pdf' ></embed>
----- end quote ---

| Pierre 6/17/2022 3:37:30 AM Building on Slava's recommendation, I am now using the following formula, which takes images, audio, video and texts
I am not proficient in html so there are certainly ways to do better
'<embed src="'&XHtml( URLRoot() & "/attachment.aspx?fid=" & ColumnId([fileToDisplay]) & "&guid=" & Right([fileToDisplay], ";") , 1)&'" width="100%" height="800" accept="audio/*,video/*,image/*,text/*,application/pdf">'&"</embed>"
|
| Pierre 6/17/2022 3:40:28 AM Sorry / there was a copy paste glitch
The formula is:
<embed src="<% URLRoot() & "/attachment.aspx?fid=" & ColumnId([fileToDisplay]) & "&guid=" & Right([fileToDisplay], ";") %>" width="100%" height="800" accept="audio/*,video/*,image/*,text/*,application/pdf"></embed>

|
| Pierre 6/17/2022 4:12:27 AM Please note:
If your file attachments are word / excel documents, displaying this formula will provoke a download.
I thought I would prevent this with the 'accept' attribute - it is not working / I do not know why yet
Kind regards,
Pierre
|
| basenine 6/17/2022 4:23:11 AM That could be a setting in your browser rather than the code
|
| Pierre 6/17/2022 4:26:33 AM @basenine
Thanks for the idea... it could ! but then I have little control over the browsers of the users.
And when you display a table with 20 '.doc' file attachments, you have 20 downloads occurring without asking for confirmation...
So I guess I need to close that door in the code: either by testing the file name by a TD formula (efficient but not elegant), or by html (elegant / I thought accept would do the trick / it's not)

| Pierre 6/22/2022 3:45:29 AM Dear All
Using Slava's trick #1 (pdf preview) + Slava's trick #2 (TeamDesk document URL address),
You can have an automatic preview of any TeamDesk document in a TeamDesk form:
<embed src="<%Var[MyURLRootAPI]&"TABLE NAME/"&"DOCNAME"&"/document?id="& RecordId()%>" width="100%" height="800" type="application/pdf"></embed>
This one is quite neat.
Kind regards,
Pierre

| Pierre 6/22/2022 3:46:39 AM typo correction
<embed src="<%Var[MyURLRootAPI]&"TABLENAME/DOCNAME/document?id="& RecordId()%>"
|
| Pierre 6/22/2022 3:50:14 AM Arghh
<embed src="<%Var[MyURLRootAPI]&"TABLENAME/DOCNAME/document?id="& RecordId()%>" width="100%" height="800" type="application/pdf"></embed>
|
| Pierre 6/22/2022 4:58:28 AM This works with Safari
not with Firefox & Chrome :-(
I am working on it
|
| Pierre 6/28/2022 7:47:43 AM To make myself more clear, the XHTML formula field displaying all images, pdf, ...
with anybrowsers:
<embed src="<% URLRoot() & "/attachment.aspx?fid=" & ColumnId([fileToDisplay]) & "&guid=" & Right([fileToDisplay], ";") %>" width="100%" height="800" accept="audio/*,video/*,image/*,text/*,application/pdf"></embed>
The XTHML formal field displaying the Teamdesk Generated pdf documents works only with Safari
<embed src="<%Var[MyURLRootAPI]&"TABLENAME/DOCNAME/document?id="& RecordId()%>" width="100%" height="800" type="application/pdf"></embed>

 | Kirill Bondar 7/17/2022 4:21:54 PM Content-Disposition HTTP header generated by attachment.aspx/documentopen.aspx pages allows us to specify the file name but effectively disables the use of those pages in <embed>, <iframe> and <a download="filename"> tags. First two download the file instead of displaying, in latter case filename specified by "download" attribute is ignored.
We added support for "inline" parameter to attachment.aspx/documentopen.aspx pages and Attachment/Document REST API methods. The value of the parameter does not matter, its presence merely instructs us to suppress Content-Disposition header.
So, in @Pierre's case an addition of "inline" parameter should fix the problem. Revised formulas are:
<embed src="<% URLRoot() & "/attachment.aspx?fid=" & ColumnId([fileToDisplay]) & "&guid=" & Right([fileToDisplay], ";") & "&inline="%>" width="100%" height="800" accept="audio/*,video/*,image/*,text/*,application/pdf"></embed>
<embed src="<%Var[MyURLRootAPI]&"TABLENAME/DOCNAME/document?id="& RecordId() & "&inline="%>" width="100%" height="800" type="application/pdf"></embed>
