No pdf display

[AndyMc52]

I have downloaded and enabled your plug-in. I am convinced that this is exactly what I need to display some genealogy documents that are produced (as PDF files) by my Family Tree Maker software. I have developed a Joomla test article with a link to the pdf file (which is uploaded to the images/myfamily/pdf folder).

The link that I created is _{google_docs}images/myfamily/pdf/Taylor_Story.pdf{/googledocs}

When I try to view the article, however, all I get is the grey frame with no content. Clearly, I am doing something wrong, but I have exhausted all of the ideas that I had thought of. I even tried viewing an external PDF (as opposed to one within my Joomla site). This had the same effect.

I'm running Joomla! 3.9.25 on PHP 7.4.15

Can you offer any suggestions

Any chance you could share a link to your test article with me? That would help me to debug the problem.

Also, could you try to embed this document on your site to see whether the plugin works correctly? I just tried it on my test site and this code should work.

Thank you for getting back to me. The Test Article is at: https://www.mcmenemy.org/all/index.php/testing/59-test2021a

It's content is only:

This is a sample of an embedded PDF: 

{google_docs}https://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_tutorial.pdf{/google_docs}
 images/myfamily/pdf/Taylor_Story.pdf
{google_docs}images/myfamily/pdf/Taylor_Story.pdf{/google_docs}

and the raw html is

<p>This is a sample of an embedded PDF: </p>
<pre><code>{google_docs}https://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_tutorial.pdf{/google_docs}</code></pre>
<pre><code>images/myfamily/pdf/Taylor_Story.pdf</code></pre>
<pre><code></code></pre>
<pre><code>{google_docs}images/myfamily/pdf/Taylor_Story.pdf{/google_docs}</code></pre>

As you can see I have tried your test code... but still I get nothing.

Thank you for the information. Please switch the HTTPS setting in the plugin configuration from No to Yes. I believe that it should resolve the problem.

You can also set the value in the code:

{google_docs}https://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_tutorial.pdf|https:yes{/google_docs}

{google_docs}images/myfamily/pdf/Taylor_Story.pdf|https:yes{/google_docs}

Many thanks. You are clearly a genius. It now works perfectly. Stay safe, and stay well.
