pdf in mediabox

[shawnmcginn]

Is it possible to have pdfs rendered in the mediabox lightbox? I think I could do it with pdfembedder from joomlakave (I use it on my site) but I'd prefer not to modify fabrik if I don't have to.

Also, the reason for this feature, my site uses pagination and the image/pdf uploads are available on page 2 so when opened, you have to use the back button to return to the form, which reloads the form on page 1. Lightbox images works great, would be nice to capture pdf as well.

Let me know if it's possible.
Thanks

Is it a fileupload?
You can override the layout:
copy
plugins\fabrik_element\fileupload\layouts\fabrik-element-fileupload-pdf.php
to
templates\<your-joomla-template>\html\layouts\fabrik-element-fileupload-pdf.php

modify line 8
<a class="download-archive fabrik-filetype-<?php echo $ext; ?>" title="<?php echo $d->filename; ?> " rel="lightbox" (to open in lightbox)
or
<a class="download-archive fabrik-filetype-<?php echo $ext; ?>" title="<?php echo $d->filename; ?> " target="_blank" (to open in a new tab)

Worked like a charm!
