Hi all,

I really need help regarding the Moodle File Appearance setting.

in Available display options drop down list, i choose to use Embed, in frame and open. after i change it, nothing is happend, and it just forced the user to download the file instead of open it or view in frame.

Please help!

What type of file is it? If its not something a web browser can display on its own, its likely to just download it instead of display it.


For example, if you're giving it a word file (doc or docx file) then the web browser isn't going to be able to display that as-is and will instead choose to download it.

I've just moved this discussion thread to the Dataform (plugin) forum, as it seems to be specific to this plugin.

Thanks Helen.

Iruma, this post duplicates another post of yours in this forum - How to display uploaded Picture instead of showing the link only?. Please continue the discussion about this in that other thread.
