issue with embedding pdf file.

[sergec68]

Hello,

I have just registered to the forum site.

I've got an issue trying to embed PDF files on my local website.

I use the custom module and I select CMS media, I then choose the file with the embed option. the pdf is displayed, however when I save the module, it disappears. as seen on the video.

Check your editor settings. Tinymce plugin has options to allow/disallow certain code. JCE editor has similar in its component

This is the code I use for embedding a pdf:

<p><object data="images/pdf/august_newsletter.pdf" type="application/pdf" width=“%” height=“500”>
You don't have a pdf plugin, but you can <a download="" images/pdf/august_newsletter.pdf"> download the pdf file.</a></object> </p>

so what type of code do I need to allow in Tinymce.

tthe thing is that I add the code in the code mode of Tinymmce But when I save, the code disappears.

That's Joomla's security settings at work. It's removing "suspect" tags or content. Check your settings as @webdongle says.

I think the <object> tag is not allowed by default, so you have to allow it under the Global Configuration / Text Filtering options.

Text Filters - Documentation:

Plugins >>> Tinymce ... Prohibited Elements (field) ... remove 'script,'
Be careful who you allow to to the 'edit set'

Thanks.

Did that fix it?
Be careful because anyone (that's in a user group) associated with that profile can insert script into an Article they create or edit. That is any type of script. So you need to trust everyone in a User Group that is listed in that profile.

No, after checking, it does not solve the problem.
