Form field type Media - Shows no PDF's

[goslingcools]

Code: Select all

<field name="file" type="media" directory="resources-downloads" size="40" class="inputbox" label="Select a  file" description=""  />

Where can I specify the visible / selectable file types?

You can upload a PDF in this window, but not see/select it.

Does anyone have an idea?

Surprised no-one has answered this, I'd love to see this "hacked"

\administrator\components\com_media\views\media\tmpl\default.php

<a class="modal" title="Select" href="index.php?option=com_media&view=images&tmpl=component&asset=com_prescribedburns&author=901&fieldid=jform_pub_consult_map&folder=" rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 800, y: 500}}">
Select</a>


Now if that call can be modified to:


<a class="modal" title="Select" href="index.php?option=com_media&view=media&tmpl=component&asset=com_prescribedburns&author=901&fieldid=jform_pub_consult_map&folder=" rel="{handler: 'iframe', size: {x: 800, y: 500}}">
Select</a>
(ie changing the view), you can see the document you just uploaded.

Anyone got a clue how to override this from any given component?

I'm still looking for a solution to this problem ... does anyone have any idea?
The trick suggested does not solve the problem ... missing the select button

So am I. After so long, the only option is to use filelist field type.

If I supply a patch for that, would one of you guys be able to pull it into Joomla?

Hey guys,

i've looked up the file /libraries/joomla/form/fields/media.php and found out, that you can use the parameter "link" in your xml-file to set the open link manually.

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

<field name="file" type="media" label="PDF" description="PDF File" size="40" class="inputbox" default="" required="true" directory="path_to_your_directory" link="index.php?option=com_media&view=media&tmpl=component&asset=com_yourcomponent&author=&fieldid=jform_file&folder=path_to_your_directory"/>

You just need to replace asset=... , filedid=... and folder=....

Hope this helps!
Best

Just go to:
administrator/components/com_media/models/list.php
line:
~ 157
add:
case 'pdf':

I have found that this fixes the issue with custom field type "media" allowing pdfs to be uploaded but then not showing the pdf as available for selection. Using Joomla 3.7.5.
Having custom field of type "file" would be better, but it doesn't seem to be available yet?
