HighSlide PDF Display *** No Longer Supported***

[zinc]

Hey BF. Is there anyway to add a Rollover Image property to this extension?

[BaconFries]

Not directly with the extension, it would require changing how the extension works by adding a hover class css to the image or in this case two images.

[BaconFries]

The extension has been removed from use for the time being due to a compatibility issue. Please note that if the extension is made available from any other source other than myself I offer no support for it.

Sorry but the extension is no longer avaialble, this is due to in certain browsers the pdf cannot be opened/displayed in the higslide window and gets forced opened by the pdf reader installed on the endusers PC.

Hello, Yes this is true for IE9. Have you fixed this problem yet?

Thank you.

Hi sorry as of yet I can find no fix even from the original authors site. It seems that most browsers do not allow do not like displaying PDF files using the Highslide which is is using a iframe to display it, this is done to it being a security issue...you may also have noticed that I have removed this form down via mediafire and the Extension Manager as well.

OK I see. I manage to remove some code so that in IE the document will use Adobe Reader to open. But in FF the original function is working.
I also foound some other code so that one can open a PDF using a Google's function. I will post this code later.

Thank you.

Thanks Patrik for you input and taking the time to find a solution , to be honest with you I have become disillusioned recently with the building of Extensions New/Old even the updating of many, this is due to past experiences within the forum that left me upset, and as you may have seen I removed almost all my extensions due to this, they are now back via the extension manager.... But I still feel is it really worth spending all my free time to source, ask permiision from the original author then build a New extension to only have it picked over to find any faults with it.... my answer to this is no. Anyway if you still wish to share the information you have found please post it and I will see what can be done to update the extension.

Hello, OK this is what i'v done. I removed this code from the highslide-full.js:

Code: Select all

uaVersion: /Trident\/4\.0/.test(navigator.userAgent) ? 8 :
parseFloat((navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().match( /.+(?:rv|it|ra|ie)[\/: ]([\d.]+)/ ) || [0,'0'])[1]),
ie : (document.all && !window.opera),
//ie : navigator && /MSIE [678]/.test(navigator.userAgent), // ie9 compliant?
safari : /Safari/.test(navigator.userAgent),
geckoMac : /Macintosh.+rv:1\.[0-8].+Gecko/.test(navigator.userAgent),

Now the Higheslide pop up wont eaven show up in IE8-9, insted the PDF file will be opend whit Adobe reader. But in FF the Highslide Pop up seams to still work eaven whit this code removed.
Hope some one can get this to work propper.

The other thing i found is not in regards to to the Highslide, but it may be somthing to look in to for buildeing an extention of it?.
This is what i did:
On any image,text or shap, put this as a link and replase the pdf file whit you'r own.
http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http:/ ... .se/Novice Trail 12.pdf
or in an HTML box or inline frame:
<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http:/ ... .se/Novice Trail 12.pdf&embedded=true" style="width:1000px; height:780px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Some test pages:
http://rswesternriding.se/pdfview.html
http://rswesternriding.se/pdftest3.html
http://rswesternriding.se/pdftest2.html
http://rswesternriding.se/pdftest.html

Maybe some help, i dont know.

Thank you.

Regards

/Patrik.

No the extension is no longer available to download, since it was released just about all of the main browsers have changed there way of displaying the highslide and pdfs, they longer support it being held in a iframe and it breaksout asking to be opened in the version of what pdf reader you have installed on your PC. Reading from the original authors site they now say that pdfs shouldnt be used in the highslide as this takes away control of how a pdf should be displayed.

Sad to know that this extension is no longer available.
I had used it and it had issues with FF, functioning well in IE / Chrome / Safari / Opera.
However, with a Menu Bar, there were issues, the pop up opened with the menu bar showing across it, as if the pop up slipped partly under the bar.
Wish there is an option available.

Hi, I was wondering if you would be willing to share this extension. I mean the source files to the extension builder?

Thanks

You can also embed PDF using this code, and pdfobject.js
Download the pdfobject.js from here: http://pdfobject.com/downloads/

Demo: http://test3.fcab.se/pdftest/pdftest.html

Will look different in IE 32 bit and FF and the PDF will not show in IE 64 bit, Adobe has not made any 64 bit Reader yet.

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="pdfobject.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

	window.onload = function (){
	
		var myPDF = new PDFObject({ 
		
			url: "Webshop_Plus_2_Manual.pdf",
			pdfOpenParams: {
				navpanes: 1,
				view: "FitV",
				pagemode: ""
			}
		
		}).embed();
	
	};
	
</script>

@Patrik iden would you be interested in testing this extension for me??. I am presently rebuilding all my extensions with the latest builder 4.1. I have rebuilt this one and strangely it is now working in all the browser I have tested with. If you would like to test you can let me know and I will get a copy to you.
