My situation is simple: I need to play video (ogv format) within HTML5 standard that I uploaded via j-cook native file uploader or image picker. The URL provided by j-cook looks like this:

index.php?option=com_component&task=file&path=[DIR_VIDEO]video.ogv

and this forces me to download the file. That means it is not usable for playing video. Probably I need to execute this file.

Any idea?

thank you

Hi @etc,

This is to do with indirect access being set true in the JDom call to render the file type field. Firstly, switch this to off or false. In your JDom call you should see a reference to your CONTANT_PATH (the path to your files directory for items in your current view in addition to the filename.ext for a given record.

This thread may help if you need to CHMOD files to access them: www.j-cook.pro/forum/32-trouble-shooting...-uploaded-files#6042

Hope it helps!

I switched "indirect" to "false "but this gives me: http://www.domain.com/[DIR_VIDEO]/test.ogv which is not the correct link. So for now I had to hack it a little. I used full path to my video dir and chmod of the dir I changed to 755. But to be honest, this is not optimal.

The file access has been improved now you can retreive your file direct URL using : XxxxHelper::getFile('[DIR_VIDEO]/test.ogv', 'direct'); Have a look in the helper, the getFile() function can access in many ways. Also trough db access to check ACL... Coding is now a piece of cake

Just wanted to congratulate you on the J-Cook website / web development tool. In a couple of visits I've had a play around with Cook and have to say I think it is fantastic. I've played with a number of component builders in the past and yours is certainly looking like the best so far. I'd also like to help you spread the word - I'm really surprised more people aren't excited about this tool. Good luck with the project.
