more_info_tab_attachments - Set PDF open in new tab instead of Download

[t3oot2a]

Hello

 

Some of my products have a pdf file attached.

The pdf file appears in "Download" tab on product page.

When I click on the pdf link, it appears a save window from browser.

I need to open the pdf file in a new tab in browser. Not to download the pdf file.

 

I set in product.tpl target="_blank" but nothing change

<li><a target="_blank" href="{$link->getPageLink('attachment', true, NULL, "id_attachment={$attachment.id_attachment}")|escape:'html'}">{$attachment.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a><br />{$attachment.description|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</li>

My browser has adobe acrobat plugin installed. On other web pages, pdf files open in new tab.

I took a look in contollers->front-> AttachmentController.php but I didn't see anything about opening pdf files in a new tab.

controllers/front/AttachmentControlller.php

 

modify this:

class AttachmentControllerCore extends FrontController
{
	public function postProcess()
	{
		$a = new Attachment(Tools::getValue('id_attachment'), $this->context->language->id);
		if (!$a->id)
			Tools::redirect('index.php');

		if (ob_get_level() && ob_get_length() > 0)
			ob_end_clean();

		header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
		header('Content-Type: '.$a->mime);
		header('Content-Length: '.filesize(_PS_DOWNLOAD_DIR_.$a->file));
		header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.utf8_decode($a->file_name).'"');
		readfile(_PS_DOWNLOAD_DIR_.$a->file);
		exit;
	}
}

to:

class AttachmentControllerCore extends FrontController
{
	public function postProcess()
	{
		$a = new Attachment(Tools::getValue('id_attachment'), $this->context->language->id);
		if (!$a->id)
			Tools::redirect('index.php');

		if (ob_get_level() && ob_get_length() > 0)
			ob_end_clean();

		header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
		header('Content-Type: '.$a->mime);
		header('Content-Length: '.filesize(_PS_DOWNLOAD_DIR_.$a->file));
		//header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.utf8_decode($a->file_name).'"');
		readfile(_PS_DOWNLOAD_DIR_.$a->file);
		exit;
	}
}

i just commented out this line:

//header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.utf8_decode($a->file_name).'"');

what prestashop version you use? i modified this code for 1.5.6.2 and it works, i see pdf files in webbrowser window

[t3oot2a]

I use prestashop 1.5.6.2. I didn't modify anything else.

I deleted target="_blank" from product.tpl too.

<li><a href="{$link->getPageLink('attachment', true, NULL, "id_attachment={$attachment.id_attachment}")|escape:'html'}">{$attachment.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a><br />{$attachment.description|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</li>

I tried to find what's wrong but I didn't find anything...what can I do?

[vekia]

what browser you use? 

i tried this in chrome

can you also try on different browsers?

[t3oot2a]

Same problem in chrome, firefox, ie, safari.

I checked on another pc too.

[t3oot2a]

please help me to solve this...i really need to open pdfs in a new tab...

[trevorgilligan]

doesnt work for me either. i suppose at a basic level it should just be an <a href link> to the document but i dont know how or where to change that!
