Any Way to Display PDF's directly?

[BirdOPrey5]

Made a couple more BB codes, so cool! Thanks Anthony! I notice it is possible to nest a BB code inside of another. How can I make one to control the display size? need to be able to enter two parameters, otherwise I think I have it figured out.

See if you can figure out how this one is done 3D ROSE You can rotate it with your mouse by holding down the left button.

You could use the {option} to control width AND height, you'd have to enter both as the option... for example:

[pdf="width='400' height='800'"]suhgshg3382bn2jx[/pdf]
and the following replacement code:

<div class="pdfheight"><object {option} codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab">
<param name="movie" value="https://acrobat.com/Clients/current/ADCMainEmbed.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#202020" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="flashvars" value="{param}" />
<embed src="https://acrobat.com/Clients/current/ADCMainEmbed.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#202020"
{option} align="middle" play="true" loop="false" quality="high" wmode="transparent" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="{param}" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
</object></div>

By the way, care to release this at vbulletin.org - I always like a new BB Code.

If it is attached, it is linked, thus it is spiderable by Google.

ok, but no way to google to index pdf files attached to a thread?

[anthonyparsons]

If Google find a pdf, ie. it is linked anywhere, then Google can and will spider it, then make it available.

[cloferba]

is there any way to google to index the pdf files included on the thread?

i mean..i would like google index the text on the pdf as it would be part of the thread...

is this a clear explanation? :S

Very cool... glad you now have the hang of it though. You can inject nearly any type of custom scripting / code via this method for ease of use, and usually less issues when injecting from the backend.

Adjust the bbcode settings and it will change all. If you wanted different size one's to use in different areas, you could create another custom bbcode using the same data, except name the bbcode tag something like pdf1... and so on.

Got a question now: How can we add parameters for width and height? Right now that bb code is locked in at whatever we set in the bb code.

[anthonyparsons]

Glad to hear its all working for you Grant... well done mate and you're very welcome.

Ya know, this happens every once in a while; I do an edit, save and come back, and it has reverted, actually like the save never happened. When I replaced the html with bb and saved it reverted to the html. Fixed now. Everything working in all browsers now, COOL! And it's only 2:10 AM! But we're having fun. Thank you again Anthony!

I would set yourself up a test install, which you are allowed to do, and you must lock it from public access as per the license agreement, then perform and see for yourself. If it works under a default environment, something in your customisations is screwing with objects rendering correctly.

Only thing I have is blue & gold style

[anthonyparsons]

I just tested my above test in both Chrome and FF, both work. Chrome actually renders the object down to the default stylevars preview image size, but both show it correctly.

If your having issues with it rendering, then you need to look at what products or plugins that are third party you may have installed first and foremost. I am doing this in a test vb install, completely clean, thus it works perfectly.

here's what I get in IE 8:
