Re: Open PDFs in new window while using TXP
Glad that worked. I probably wasn’t so alert late last night, but I think you can also lose the article_custom tags too as IIRC file_download_list doesn’t require an article context. The variable shouldn’t need it either (assuming that it is the one made by adi_gps).
<txp:adi_gps />
<file>
<fileurl><txp:site_url />files/<txp:file_download_list id='<txp:variable name="fid" />'><txp:file_download_name /></txp:file_download_list></fileurl>
</file>
What I had originally wondered was whether you could use rah_external_output to receive the file id via an url query and then output the file right there on the mothership site. The rah_external_output code snippet would look up the right file path as it does now, then send the browser window to that page (using php header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
or perhaps derived from the code in that other thread I linked to above). That way you wouldn’t need to do the xml dance.

Re: Open PDFs in new window while using TXP
Good points, Jakob. I was leaning toward XML because I will be using smd_xml and rah_external_output for another similar project (with quite a bit more XML), so I wanted to gain a bit of experience. But perhaps I’ll still try something like the header redirect example you gave. Thanks again.
