IE plugin vs Ajax

ali_hijazi — Thu, 07 Nov 2013 09:24:39 GMT

Dear

I want all users accessing a document to inform them to open it using IE plugin

so I want to check if the user who opens the document opened it using Ajax then give him some kind of message box asking them to either open it using IE plugin or to download it from the access point

is this possible

please advise

Use ClientPlatform() function.

Systemfunction ClientPlatform() will give you the info. Then you can show them a info and a Button with the direct link wich use Client=Plugin as parameter. But the IExplorer must be standard browser.

Why don't you just restrict Access method to IE plugin in the task?

Tab - Server - Availability - Access point-Access Method.

Problem solved.

In our office we set the preferred client using the management console, that way we can control what applications are opened via the specific client.
