File not downloading?

nealoke opened this issue · 5 comments

I just pulled the new version and trying to make this work :)

Currently it is downloading something with the given name however it does not contain anything and looks like this (windows):

I am supplying a url pointing to the file, am I doing this wrong? If so I think this would totally make sense to add to the component no?

Sample url (what I am providing in the data argument)
http://localhost/papaver/app/dashboard/uploads/patients/files/wizer-brochure-versie1%40dcc4c3031202bcfd765ae0c8fd5fc3d8%23IazEdDEYO7.pdf

When I log this to the console and click it it opens the correct file in a seperate tab ;)

Unfortunately this package doesn't work with Safari or IE. What browser are you using?

@kennethjiang Aah why not? :o And i'm using chrome :/

The reason why Safari or IE is not supported is that they don't support html5 download attribute, which is what this plugin is baed up.

I just tested the latest version and it still works. Can you provide a bit more info such as the code that's calling this plugin, and the network response coming back from the server?

@kennethjiang sorry for the late answer, i basically used this in stead (which works fine in all browsers). I think I'll create a small github project for this

var win = window.open('url', '_blank');
win.focus();

sounds good!
