I suggest you put in a suggestion over at the UserVoice ghetto and wait a few years to realize that this feature will not be added to the product. Then use script as suggested by Ryan above. If you have an issue using script ask a new question with exactly what problem you are encountering. Script solves all QuickBase problems.
- I got the same error screen as Carlos.
I tested with a document in a public application and it worked. It seems that embedding it doesn't carry over the security from the main window. Do you know if I have to code in a token or something? - did you ever figure this out?
- Any update on this? Having the same kind of issue in my app.
- Kirk Trachy has an app in the exchange called Magic Buttons where he gets this to work with no Image onload - all native. :)
Look for the section heading on the example records called
Iframe Document Previews - Im using magic buttons... Have everything exactly as in MB and its just showing me the HTML code in the iframe but not the actual pdf?
- Kirk demoed this at EMPOWER but I have not actually done it myself. Is your field type Rich Text formula field?
- The file attachment field properties have to be set so that a user can access the file without being signed in. For this reason, I have not been able to use this desirable function myself.
- yeah.
- Anna, I added this app to my account, but then I had to check the box in the file attachment field which allows access without signing in. It appears to be working.
- It works in the magic buttons app but not in mine for some reason? I did those same steps.
