hi,  
just wondering if anyone can help me understand how to upload pdf content so that it's either viewable or downloadable from the joomla site using what i beleive is the WYSIWYG editor. 
otherwise, this confusion is going to drive me insane  
thanks

Hi Yasmin, 
I've dropped you an email about our services - putting PDFs and other downloads or streaming content in a Joomla site is easy (once you know how!) if the site is built properly and uses the right tools to facilitate easy content management...

Hi, 
I want to directly view pdf file. Please help if you have solution. 
Thanks 
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh, 
In order to embed the PDF, rather than just link it, you'll want this Joomla extension (for Joomla v1.0.x only):

hi there 
what do i need to do to embed a pdf file on a joomla site v1.5.x? 
tried putting a local m/c file link in an article but got the msg ur current security settings do not allow the file to be downloaded 
plz help

@ Amrita - I haven't tried embedding in Joomla v1.5 yet, but if the PDF is on your server (there are various ways to upload it) then you should be able to link to it using the "Insert File" button and browsing for it. 
 
We can either hope for a more conclusive answer in the replies, or you can contact us for assistance using the link in the main menu.

Hi All, 
I m using Joomla 1.5 vs, i want to add one PDF to my article from admin side, so that it can be downloadable from the front end by the users, for that i installed JCE vs 1.0.5(com_jce_150, plg_jce_151, jce_advlink_docmanlinks, plg_mediaobject_150), then i changed the editor name in the config file, I got the new jce editor but i did n\\\'t get any option ther to upload a pdf file in my article.Plz help, what should i do for this??

Hi Tanmaya,  
the layout of the JCE editor is slightly different on 1.5. Highlight the text you want to use as the link to your article, and select the link button (the link button has changed as it has additional functions). A popup window will appear. The link button has the ‘upload’ option above the ‘Details’ window.  
 
I hope this helps

Hi Teenum, 
Thanks for your reply. I got this, but i am not able to upload the PDF in to my project directory and the upload option does n't allow me to go out of the project directory to get the PDF file.So what i did is first i copied the PDF file to my Project directory which is a out of system process then I linked that file using this editor.So what i want to know IS there any option i can upload the PDF to my project directory using this Editor or any other userful Editor?Thanks

Hi all, 
How to include mod_search module in my joomla template, I want to have search functionality in my joomla site.The template that I am using now does not have any search functionality.but I can't change the template now,I just want to add search functionality in that template.Please help

Hi Tanmaya, 
You don't need to change your template if you don't want to. You simply go to Modules --> Site Modules and find the search module. Publish it and assign it to a position that exists within your template (I'm guessing in a header or footer). If you want the search function to appear as its own position then you will have to edit the index.php/main template. If I was going to add a search module then I would include it within my header div and assign it to an un-used module (USER 8). This would be my code: 
 
<?php mosLoadModules ( 'user8', -1 ); ?> 
 
Once this is included in the template, then assign the search module to position "user8". Any further questions, let me know.

@ Quincey - 
You're trying to put a PDF link in using the image manager - you need to put a PDF link in with the File Manager, that's all! 
 
@ Kishore - 
You want to get hold of the JCE Editor, and in particular the Extended File Manager plugin:

I cannot see a file manager button

How do I link to a specific spot in a pdf? My pdf is large and I would like to link to a specific paragraph.

@LJ 
Use an Acrobat action command in the link as shown here:

I want to add a downloadable file to a link but when I highlight the text and click the link it does not give me the option to search for the file. How do I do this? Can I add the search feature to my link options??

I'm curious how to do that? What does it mean to be a 3B customer? Do I have to pay?

@felix - no, you don't need to be a 3B customer (but it helps!!!) - we simply use JCE Editor on all our clients' sites, and this guide refers to that.

If you would like to have a pdf available for download and viewing...just add it to your images folder, then create a wrapper that points to the pdf. You can reference the wrapper as a menu item or as a link in any other content. 
As long as the visitor to the site has adobe reader installed, it will show up in the main window with options to print, save, etc...

Hi, i found this article and thought ah good. but you now have to pay for the file manager add on. what a load.

Great extension. Loaded very quickly. About 10 minutes from dowload to size teaking. for those who want to check it out in real time, I just added it to our site. http://www.meetnori.com/index.php?option=com_conte nt&view=article&id=63:how-the-budget-works -in-simple-terms&catid=38:with-next-10&Ite mid=59

It’s weird ed because when I click on it (after publishing) , it just the picture appear in new page :((( NOT the pdf file ,I treid Jack Bremer-3B advice but still the same , I don’t know how can I do it .please help me , thanks in advance …..

Can you provide a URL to an online example of how this works? Thanks.

OK - I downloaded JCE 154 and installed it. I set JCE as the default editor for the admin user. I then went to create an article - and I certainly had a new toolbar compared to the old editor. But no sign of the File Manager icon you describe in the article - what am I doing wrong? I even installed the File Browser plugin but that made no difference - the File Browser plugin is listed as being in Row 0 and has no associated icon.

Manoj, you want to check out RS Forms or Joomla Forms - easy to do...

Whenever we go to look for the file manager, we can't find it. We are using joomla 1.5 so, if your version is older, please let us know.

Yes, this is for Joomla v1.0.x not v1.5.x - sorry! 
 
Also, we're using JCE Editor with the File Manager Extended plugin

I uploaded a .pdf, I see it in my media file. How do I write the link on a section page that will allow the .pdf to be viewed and downloaded. 
 
Joomla 1.5.15 uploaded through Fantastico, is that the problem?

Hi I am trying to upload a template file (.dot) but keep getting a message saying invalid file type, is there any way to get round this? 
Thanks

HI Linds, 
 
You want to go into the JCE configuration, and depending which version, look for the allowed filetypes in there or in groups, default, file manager (or file manager extended) - it all depends which version.
