PDF file link

[FlodAriege]

Hello,
I can't understand why my pdf files links don't work...
I chose File links, save the PDF files into the assets, but, when I click on a link towards a pdf file, nothing happens except a blank window...

If i copy the links from my site, this is what I get, for example :
javascriptpenpopup_3954('../Guide_des_aides_avril_2012.pdf')

doest it help you understand what I'm doing wrong ?

It comes from this page of my site :
http://www.rouchenergies.fr/html/aides_de_l_anah.html

and the link is at the bottom of the page, written like this :
Le guide des aides ANAH (Avril 2012)

I feel like I did what the help guide of NOF say to do, but, obviously, I'm missing something...

Thank you very much for your help
Now I'm going to sleep a while, it's almost 2 AM here in France...

Your path for the PDF file take you to the root of the domain. www.xxx.com/Guid...
I believe the script is looking for the file to be at the root of the html dir. ie www.xxx.com/html/Guid...

drop the .. in the script above and see if this fixes your problem.

Hello,
Sorry for the delay of my response (I have a "real" job, and maintaining my website is only done during weekends...).
I'm sorry but I don't understand your response (I have to tell I'm French, and sometimes my english is not good enough).
The PDF file is in fact at the root of my domain (I checked with Filezilla, and yes, it's at the root).
How should I write this link ?
Should it be : www.mysite.com/Guide_des_aides_avril_2012.pdf ???
If so, where do I have to make the modification ?
Thnaks a lot, and sorry again to be so... dumb.

Assuming you're puttinig PDF flles out the for people to just read or save
to their own machines, YES, you should be usiing File Link.

There's an example at twaynesdoman.com, My Book, TOC link. Those are all
File Links.

Your path for the PDF file take you to the root of the domain. www.xxx.com/Guid...
I believe the script is looking for the file to be at the root of the html dir. ie www.xxx.com/html/Guid...

drop the .. in the script above and see if this fixes your problem.

So, if I did understand you :
I use file link, and it's ok.
I should modify the "script" as you call it (sorry, I'm a french speaking newbie ...), in order to delete the "..".
-> So should it be, finally :
javascriptpenpopup_3954('/Guide_des_aides_avril_2012.pdf'
Is this what you mean ?


I just had a look to the html on this link (inside NOF).
This is what it says :
<a target="_self" href="javascriptpenpopup_3954('file:///C:/Users/Utilisateur/Documents/NetObjects Fusion 1&1 Edition/User Sites/rouchenergies_wave-blue_REFONTE/rouchenergies_REFONTE/Assets/Guide_des_aides_avril_2012.pdf')"

So... sorry, but I really don't understand how I should modify this link in order to make it work...
Could someone please help me ?

If I understand you correctly, you have two choices iin NOF:

Link to the .pdf file in one of two ways and then test:

1. Use "File link" and link to the relevant .pdf file. It's in the link
menu.
OR
2. Use "external link" and enter your site's URL and full path to the .pdf
file. If you do it this way, to save some guessing, use your browser to find
the file and copy the path from the destination window.

You don't need to use target=self. That just means to reuse the current
page.
If desired, you could use "target=blank which would open the .pdf in a new
window.

Those are all choices in the Liink menu. Be sure to test whichever method
you use.

1. The "file link method" is this was the way I did it the first time, and it did not work...
2. The "external link" method :
It is the way I did it this time.
Well .. once my site is published, ... I was going to turn completely crazy because it was still not working !
BUT...
... ô miracle ! the link is finally working !
I guess IE was giving me the previous version of my site (which happen each time I re-publish, until I "F5" my page, I guess IE remember a page and don't re-load it if it don't feel it has too).

SO: first of all, thank you very much for your help.
Then,if anyone has the same problem than me, he can now know how to solve it.
PS : I noticed that the "plug-ins" system is also a very good way to get the pdf working. But you need a little space to allow the picture of the file to show.
