    • View PDF inline

    Posted by Shafeeq Hamza

    I am trying to display a PDF in a wiki inline using the media player plugin. When I specify

    Copy to clipboard
    {mediaplayer fullscreen="true" src="display34" type="pdf"}


    The page displays an error that PDF.js

    "PDF.js feature is disabled. If you do not have permission to enable, ask the site administrator."

    I have been trying for a while now but I just can't find that feature to enable. Can someone please guide me how to do it?

    I have a new install of version 24.0

    Look on the Enhancements tab of the File Gallery control panel. See the docsQuestion for details. Be sure to review the https://doc.tiki.org/PDF.js-viewerQuestion page for additional details.

    Remember, you can always use the configuration searchQuestion to find any Tiki option on any control panel.

    Thank you! That's solved my problem.

    I did try searching, even rebuilt the search index; but could not find "pdf.js"...

    Hi @Shafeeq Hamza
    Glad you worked it out, the issue with not being able to find "pdf.js" in the prefs search is due to mysql having a minimal search term length of four characters. We have a similar issue i think with H5P as reported by @luci (it works fine with elasticsearch, but that's not much help i know!)

    Not sure how to fix it (you can change the mysql ft_min_word_len in the my.conf file, but only if you have root access, i suppose we could add keywords like pdfdotjs but would anyone think of searching for that?

    Any better ideas any one?

    One of the non-elegant solutions suggested on another forum is to pre-test the keyword length and either construct a 'like' based search for text shorter than 4 characters; otherwise go with the full-text 'match'...
