Explored and diagnosed. When in Moodle you say "add a resource -> link to a file or website", and then you pick a PDF, you will see a "force-download" option, that defaults to off. - Keep it off, and you will see the PDF "inline" ;-) - Turn it on and it will force a download to the Journal. it'd be nice to have the options there simplified and better labelled. m -- [email protected] [email protected] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
