Default Accessing different file types from a portal - 06-06-2007 , 05:02 AM






I am using FP7

I have a file where we consult and depending on the type of consult
there are many associated files related and in a portal.
They are PDF's, pictures and video clips.

I want the user to easily click on whichever they want to view and
seamlessly view the file. I am guessing this is not a really unusual
use of FM so maybe there are tried and true methods here.

PDF's are the most problematic for me. I have a few ideas eg script it
to export to a standard file name then use Open URL.
I have also said in the script - if a video do this, if a picture do
that and if a PDF do the other.

The second issue is that of storage - since it is now almnost
unlimited, is it best to just dump all into the file or reference
them?

Thanks in advance

David
