Hi.

I need to request a sample of how to use the &s2member_file_inline=yes command.

This code is used to download files.

Code: Select all

http://domain.org/?s2member_file_download=filename.pdf

Where does &s2member_file_inline=yes go in that code?

Here you go:

Code: Select all

http://domain.org/?s2member_file_download=filename.pdf&s2member_file_inline=yes

Thanks for confirming that I have set the inline code properly. I assumed it goes after the filename, but the file does not open inline (within the browser).

I've tested this using FireFox 4+ and the current Chrome and each time it prompts me to directly open the file in Acrobat or to download it to my pc.

Is that what's supposed to happen with the PDF when using the inline code?

It should open it in the browser, unless the browser is configured to download it. Does the browser open other PDFs instead of starting a download?

My primary browser is Firefox 4+, and it opens most other PDF's inline, inside the browser.

Have you tried configuring the file extension ( pdf ) in s2Member's configuration options? See: s2Member -> Download Options -> Inline File Extensions. If that solves the problem, then I suspect that your WordPress editor is somehow corrupting the ampersand sign in the link.

Code: Select all

http://domain.org/?s2member_file_download=filename.pdf&s2member_file_inline=yes

Quick Tip: You can get PDF files to display at exactly 100% ratio by formulating your link like this:

Code: Select all

http://domain.org/?s2member_file_download=filename.pdf&s2member_file_inline=yes#zoom=100
