attachment not viewable by guest

Post by dozer »

I'm not sure why a guest cannot see a pdf attachment, but can see the other attachment types. A guest should be able to see the pdf types.

I've just checked over on the admin panel and can't find anything related to how to set this up.

guests can view attachments now

I found the tweak. It is to allow anybody the ability to download any attachment (as opposed to only registered users) in the admin panel. So now guests should be able to view attachments.

Another note, in my original post I thought that guests could only not view PDF docs, when in fact guests could not view any docs (jpg, pdf or whatever), due to the admin panel setting.
