Ever since I upgraded to v5.6.3-C120 the option to view saved pdf’s like supplier invoices etc… from the expense screen is not there, it only has an option to download the pdf …
I strongly believe that the view button has to come back, I would like to make the decision myself to download the document or not. For instance I might be working from a remote location on a machine (which I often do) that is unsecured or not under my control for which I do not have rights to download or want to save a file locally outside of my secure session… Anyhow it opens up a security issue where you might leave files in a cache somewhere that could have sensitive information on it, this is not ideal.
So I would like to respectfully ask if this feature could be put back again.
Not on the InvoiceNinja machine where I attached it to the transaction record…
hmmm …
Now here is question for you, when you attach a file to a a record, in this case it is “Expense 220623-026”
Where does INV-Ninj store that record? . From what I understand it should be on the machine that is running the application in the mysql db … true ?
see below: I just clicked on the "“Upload File” radio button… Then it asked me to navigate to the file I want o upload, then I choose the file it says file uploaded and it appears as an attached document in the record … … where does it store that file ?
Now when I try do download the file I stored it goes and looks for it in the local downloads folder … and it downloads an empty file …
I’m not sure if there is a technical reason why you had to change it … but it was working fine before … so why the change ?
A little bit worried right now… We are going through the financial year end here in Australia and we are cross referencing orders & invoices etc … and there is no easy way to just display or reference a document attached to record … it has to be downloaded and then that record is empty … If it is an external auditor that does not know where to find the original then they are stuck…
I updated to version v5.6.5-C121, I still can’t download or see attached documents. I was wondering if this issue being worked on? Is there any additional information or tests that I can provide to help?
Don’t know if it helps but the following error pop into the laravel log…
I’m not aware of anyone else seeing this problem which makes me think it could be a configuration issue. I’m not sure why the problem would start after an upgrade.
I read here View Button - Documents, GONE - #4 by hillel that something in the “header” was changed to accommodate something in the new release, not sure what changed but that is when I started having this issue … If I roll back to the release prior to that then I do not have this issue… However when I roll back I loose all the data that has been entered after… So rolling back is not really an option for me…
It seems that I’m not the only one with this issue … see this post by Frank …
It seems to be moaning about some ssl cert issue … I’m using self signed certs and I have been from the beginning … and I have always been able to view pdf’s up until V5.6.1 … when there was changes to Auth Method … at that point it failed … hoping you can fix that it so that I can use this very important feature (to me at least )
