Hi,

There is the PDf block - this should display the PDF in the page

https://manual.mahara.org/en/20.04/blocks/files.html#index-11

Is that not working for you?

Cheers

Hi, 

As I work with Antonella, I allow myself to answer and precise the context and then the needs :

We are working on a page which merge files and views (like google doc).

We can find 3 kind of things :

• view
• file readable by a web browser (vdo, pdf, sound, pictures)
• files not readable by web folder (office document, zip...)

If we keep the mahara behaviour, when you clic on a picture, it shows the image online in a modale, when you clic on all other kind of file, it directly download it (even if the browser is able to show it online).

We would like to allow the viewing of files readable by a web browser in the same way of the picture. So not only picture but also videos, sound and PDF.

We have the feeling that we need to follow the path of the artefact but it seems to be not so simple.

Could you give us a way of working ?

Many thanks in advance

Lilian

Hi Lilian and Antonella,

The behavior you describe is currently not possible in Mahara, but it were possible to implement as a new features for PDFs. Do you want to look into this?

Cheers
