Hello Mijardin,   

Thanks for reaching out to us,

We have checked your concern and tried to reproduce the same but it is working as expected in our machine while pressing the preview icon.

The possible reason could be that it may be conflicting with any of your other custom modules or it may have not been installed properly.

So we recommend you kindly verify the same by downloading the latest zip file of Document Preview and try to install it in a brand new database where no custom module is present.

And if still getting the same issue then please provide us your test server access so that we can debug the cause of the issue and provide you with the optimal solution.

For any concerns or queries, please feel free to reach out to us at  odoo.helpdesk@ksolves.in & sales@ksolves.com

Doesn't work on Attachments in Odoo 13.0?
by
Eleuterio Millan
on 8/11/20, 12:18 AM

I installed this on Odoo 13.0 but did not see any changes when I view attachments in the chatter. the attached files still download when clicked. Did I miss something? or does this need custom development for it work?

Re: Doesn't work on Attachments in Odoo 13.0?
by

on 8/11/20, 5:13 AM Author

Hi Eleuterio, thanks for sharing your concern with us. Since we have mentioned on the description under *How It Works* tab, users need to ensure that the attachment field or binary field must have set *attachment=True*. And if the attachment is of type audio then you've to download it to view. It works with other file types like pdf, txt, jpg, mp4. You can test that the app is working fine by uploading a file in Attachments (Just search for Attachments in developer mode). Then after uploading and saving, a new button will appear on the right side of the uploaded file in the form view 📄 like this. Clicking on it will preview the file which you have attached. Hope your concern has been addressed! In case of any further concern, please feel free to reach out at sales@ksolves.com Thanks Team Ksolves!
