No easy way to print gift card in download area

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.1
-- HikaSerial version -- : 1.10.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.8

I am using hikaserial with hikashop and I have noticed a major issue. Inside of the customer download area where i can download my gift cards it does not allow me to download my images but instead opens the image in the same tab with no easy way to print. I am sure this is default browser behavior.However, this is a problem it takes you off the main site with no way to get back, but by clicking the back button in the browser. That is not intuitive to a lot of people.

Also, I need a way to add a print button so I can print the coupon images instead of it opening the image in a new tab like above or if there is a way to download this image without it opening in a tab that is fine as well.

This is also a user problem. It may not be common sense to all customer that they can right click and print or go to their browser and print.

How can I add a print button to directly print the hikaserial coupon. I know it is dynamically generating the coupon when I click download but there has to be a way to add a print button there?

Is there a way to add a print button instead of downloading the file the more i think about it, the more I thinking they need to be able to print the file and not download it.?

Thanks,

Josh

When HikaSerial use the HikaShop trigger to override the download of a (virtual) file ; it takes control of the headers.
And in these headers, I choose to use the one to mark the file as an image ; which makes the browser display it directly and not download it in your hard drive.
But, it would be possible to add an option in the "attach serial" plugin in order to choose the type of the HTTP headers, so you could have a configuration where the download of the file is forced everywhere (in the front-end order, in the backend, in the email).

Regards,

private function sendHeader($extension) {
		$mime = $this->getMime($extension);
		if(!empty($mime)) {
			header('Content-Type: '.$mime);
			return true;
		}
		return false;
	}
}

private function sendHeader($extension) {
		$mime = $this->getMime($extension);
		if(!empty($mime)) {
			header('Content-Type: '.$mime);
			header('Content-Disposition: attachment');
			return true;
		}
		return false;
	}
}

I finally figured it out. I had to add these 2 lines of code
$filecustom = "AutobellPrintableGiftCard.png";
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$filecustom.'"');

private function sendHeader($extension) {
		$mime = $this->getMime($extension);
		$filecustom = "PrintableGiftCard.png";
		if(!empty($mime)) {
			header('Content-Type: '.$mime);
			header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$filecustom.'"');
			return true;
		}
		return false;
	}

I apologize about removing that and won't do that in the future, but after talking to my boss I actually removed it because I did not want you to waste time, but it appears by removing it I caused the opposite because after talking to him again we just decided to make it download instead.

Any idea when the new version may be available?

Thanks,

Also, even though my code is working is there anyway you can send me the updated code or file with the changes you made? I am going to have to present this site to the client next week and I would prefer to have the code you added since it will be in the next release.

Thank you for the response I just sent a submission via the contact form to get the serial attach plugin changes you made.

Thanks,

Josh
