I am trying to display multiple pdf’s on a single page and used the following code provided by ‘Beany’ in May, 2012

Unfortunately the pdfs now open in a new page instead of a preview iframe/box.

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Thanks

function ilc_pdfbox_thecontent ($content){
global $post;
global $pdfbox_width;
global $pdfbox_height;

$pdfbox_height_plus = $pdfbox_height + 15;
$pdfbox_height += 35;

$pattern = “/]*).(pdf)(‘|\”)(.*?)>(.*?)/i”;
$replacement = ‘Launch PDF file.
‘;
preg_match_all($pattern,$content,$matches);
foreach($matches[0] as $k=>$v){
$new_v = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $v);
$new_v = preg_replace(“!##!”, $k, $new_v);
$content = preg_replace(“!”.preg_quote($v).”!”, $new_v, $content);
}
return $content;
}

Hello. The plugin works perfectly in chrome. But iexplorer, when you open the pdf, is going well. But to close the thickbox main page, which was background goes blank, and you have to reload. Could you give me a solution, please?

Hola. El plugin funciona perfectamente en chrome. Pero en iexplorer, cuando abres el pdf, va muy bien. Pero al cerrar el thickbox la pagina principal, que estaba de fondo, se queda en blanco, y hay que volver a cargarla. ¿Podría darme una solución, por favor?

Hi Elio, thank you for the plugin! I installed it but when I tried to deactivate it I realized that it messes up with the menu of the site: The submenus cannot be clicked anymore, since when I try to click on them after hovering their parent menu, they just disappear. When I activate the plugin, the menu works again normally. So in order to have the website running I must have the plugin active. Any ideas what part of the plugin s causing this and the way to fix it? Thank you in advance for your time and help

[...] plugin comes from the I Love Colors site and is slightly different to the above, whereby it does not display the PDF within the document, [...]
