does not work for powerpoint ??? see this is a powerpoint slide and it is not viewable  with your plugin   http://gillardg.net/my/pg/file/Jose%20A_8921fb2/read/920/pantalla-tactil

does not work with PDF  see this one http://gillardg.net/my/pg/file/gillardg/read/923/agence-immobilire-sociales

is it because the file plugin does not keep the extension  of the uploaded file ?? 

please help i use elgg 1.6.1

It should be working both for powerpoint and pdf.

I don't know exactly what the issue is with your installation, as it seems to be serving a 0 length file to google servers.

I have not tested version 0.21 in Elgg 1.6.1, just under Elgg 1.7, so maybe you should try with the first release (0.1).

PD: It could be super if you could debug the problem and know why is it serving empty files to google.

Sounds like access problems for files with acces_ids other than public?

Tom is right.

The first version used a hack to ignore access controls, but in last version I use elgg_set_ignore_access(), which is only available in Elgg 1.7 and later.

Georges, you *must* use version 0.1 with your Elgg installation or upgrade Elgg.

in production Sometimes it doesn't load and it says the kind of document is not supported for viewer, but i uploaded  all pdf documents.

in local host it says we are unable to retrieve the document for viewing.

ps: a good integration would be also http://issuu.com/. did someone try with it?

@load55 your server must be reachable from the Internet for the plugin to work. That may be the reason why it doesn't work in your test server at localhost.

thank you i have downloaded version 0.1

and it work for pdf  now :)

but not for ppt :(

@Georges Gillard Well, it didn't last time I tested, but I never quite understood why it didn't work.

maybe google have changed something :)

how can we get .DOC functionality on this? .DOC's are read fine with Google Docs...

Thanks, and great work.

I can't get this to view ppt or pdf files.  I have enabled in the admin tools section but when I go to a file I can only get it to download an open in MS office.  Don't see any inline view.  

@SJB - make sure it is below your file plugin in the tools administration list.

@kenyonj -  Moved it but it still won't load ppt files, only PDF??  

@SJB not sure... I guess my first thought would be that it is conflicting with another plug in... disable all your extra plugins and just leave that one and see if it works.

this is not working for me on 1.7.1 

works fine on another installation with 1.7.

i've disabled all plugins apart from this and the file plugin and still no joy. the size of a pdf is there is the display but it just keeps loading and doesn't show the viewer.

hmmm.. maybe it's a Safari thing? stop working.. activity shows loading at google... it did work earlier... works ok in Firefox

is there anyway this plugin can work independently of google?

@Miguel... Congratulations! Great plugin
You will do the update to version 1.8?

tes pensado actualizalo a 1.8?

hell there,

i use elgg 1.8.3 and just installed your file viewer... but i could not view files... i already installed files plugnin ( gives download options)

 what should i do to view the files inline ( fileviewer is placed in mod/files/)

thanks

Hi,

Sorry to say that!. After installing this my embed option doesn't work. Why is it so?

Please help.

Google File Viewer for Elgg 1.7

"for Elgg 1.7" might explain why it does not work in recent (Elgg 1.8) installations...

Its not working on 1.8.9 can some help.. 

I installed this in Elgg 1.7.16. 

I duplicated the file pdf.php in 'view/default/file/specialcontent/application/' folder and renamed it to msword.php, excel.php, powerpoint.php, vnd.ms-excel.php, vnd.ms-powerpoint.php, etc. And this file_viewer worked for me for all doc,xls,pdf,and ppt formats. 

But this time when I try to embed files using the embed plugin, the embed popup doesn't work.

@Jijo Joseph,

Did you manage to fix the issue with the embed using file viewer?

Thanks
