Include 'non-image' media in websites

Post by ColeValleyGirl » 20 Dec 2015 17:03

At present, the only media files that are included in a website are JPG files (other image media are converted to JPG files).

It would be very useful to have the option to include 'non-image' media files (PDFs, txt files etc.) as links (URLs) from the website, allowing the non-image media to be displayed in another window/external viewer.

Any 'non-image' media files should be handled wherever they are linked, either via a record Media tab or directly to a Fact or a Citation.

It would also be useful if all URL, wherever they occur, and in any form, all become active hyperlinks. i.e. http:// & https:// & ftp:// & mailto: & www. and enclosed in "quotes" or <chevrons> recommended formats.

I have adapted existing Wish List item Ref 509 Include non-image Media in CD/DVD/Website Reports to include all non-image media.
