Linking File Manager File to Custom Web Page So It Opens In Browser

8 years 11 months ago

Hello - I've created a link in a customer web page (Executive Committee Meeting Minutes) to a a file in File Manager. As I'm trying to avoid folks from having to download the file to view it, I've followed the instructions of replacing "action=download" to "action=inline" and it's still downloading the file. I've even deleted the "action=inline" and it still downloads. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

To view anything on the web your computer has to download it.
What is the link you are referring to?
Thank you,

This link to a test file I've placed in our "Executive Committee Meeting Minutes" members only section. It requires a download vs being able to view it.

Doc files have to be download to be opened by Microsoft word.

Try a PDF.
