Hi, any- everybody!

Hi Laszlo,

We removed the "target" options from throughout Mahara for security reasons. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1558361

If you'd like to add it back into TinyMCE, you'll need to patch your site to revert this change:

https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/6167/4/htdocs/lib/web.php

... and delete the "htmlpurifier" directory in your dataroot so that HTMLPurifier will update its rules cache.

Cheers,

Aaron

Hi Aaron!

Thank you, its working. Great.

My i ask one more: the site earlier has another administrator, and the owner ask me to resetting a property: in the contetnt/files menu, any uploaded pdf, when you just clik on, opened in a new mahara window,

in the recent site(16.04) any file on clik open the save file dialog, the owner would like to setting up the earlier state

could you help me?

That's another security patch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1190788

You'll need to revert some portion of the patch for that bug, so that it no longer uses the "application/forcedownload" mimetype when you click the download link for a file in Mahara.

Doing so will reduce the site's security, though, so make sure you read that bug report and understand the risks. Same for re-enabling the TinyMCE "target" option.

Cheers,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

thx for the answer, but is semms to me, im not understand. Could you help me a little bit more.

I just follow your link and try to understand and solve my problem. I just opened the file.php in the /lib, and modified the 87. raw from  'content-disposition:attachment' to 'content-disposition:inline',

it doesnot take any effect.

Hi Aaron,

sorry my first misunderstanding, the way what you suggest  is working.i just commented the lines 86-89 in the /lib/file.php and the pdf opened in the browser

Thank you

László
