Open attachments in New Window was created by Marley Man
Hi, When we add a new item - using the "add attachments" we add PDF's.
We want all the PDF's to open in a new window, not force the user to download the PDF.
Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?
thank you!

Hello,
By default all attachments are being forcibly downloaded.
In order to link to a document you can use an extrafield.

You can modify a file to do that but be aware a K2 update will remove your changes.
Open this file: administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php
Search for this line:around line 1149
remove or comment it and add this after that:
It will open all of your pdf attachments inline.
For the developers: maybe it would be a good point to set which type of attachment should K2 open inlinde. It's a quite simple parameter in the config xml.
