In ATutor 2.0 does not embed into page of content a "pdf" file as with previous versions of ATutor with code "<iframe> ...</ iframe>"
I have managed to embed flash files (swf) using "<object .. > ... </ Object>", but unable to insert "pdf" or other "html" pages.
Please can tell me how to do / how to use the appropriate codes for <iframe>?
Thanks
Best Regards

You can use the [media][/media] tags, or the HTML object element to embed SWF files.
Inserting a PDF file or pasting HTML seems to be working fine on our systems, though I'm not sure I understand clearly what the problem is you are experiencing. Can you reproduce the problem on the demo site?

Hi Greg,
In Demo I created the folder "PDF FILES" with a page "ONE PDF. I have edited and written as html:
<iframe width="100%" height="500" src='http://www.quadernsdigitals.net/datos_web/biblioteca/l_1404/enLinea/3.pdf'> </ iframe>
The result is that the page is blank. NO works "<iframe>" in previous versions of ATutor, always soak PDF files and html pages with "...</ iframe <iframe>>; this is not working in ATutor 2.0
The result should be attach (a PDF document embedded within ATutor page)
For example, in joomla:

What I see in the image is a PDF browser plugin. Check to make sure its installed. ATutor does not have a native PDF reader.

Greg, I'm always using the same browser (IE or Firefox or Chrome) on a single PC, always using the same internet server (VPS) and it happens that I send you attached.
ATutor 2.0 In achieving not embed a pdf file in a content page of the course.
Please ask you to do the test embedding a pdf or html page within ATutor demo. You're gonna see what I say. Please look attach.
With Wordpress, Joomla and all previous versions of ATutor I always embedded pdf in this way. But this I am not able to achieve with ATutor2.0 ?
Please tell me how I'm wrong.
I hope you will appreciate an answer. Thanks

Is your content directory inside, or outside your ATutor installation? Try moving it inside.
Is the Pretty URL option turned on in system preferences? Try turning it off.
What happens if you link to a PDF file outside ATutor?
Experiment a little to see if you can find the problem. Embedded PDFs is not intentionally an ATutor feature. If you can find the problem yourself, we'll try to fix it. Otherwise its not something we can spend time investigating at the moment.

I think now that the problem is the WYSIWYG editor. Turn it off in your personal preferences. See if that helps.

Yes! :)
The problem was solved by disabling the WYSIWYG editor. In HTML (without the visual editor) works correctly code "<iframe...>[i]http://yourfilie.pdf[/i]</iframe>"
Thanks Greg!
