Description

I do confrm the bug MDL-9721 but I am filling this new bug in order to increase the priority.
Add a PDF document to a course as "Link to a file or web site" with
-> "Window" = same window
and
-> "Keep page navigation visible on the same page" checkbox selected.

If the user doesn't have the plug-in to open the PDF inside the internet browser, the PDF page appear empty and on the top of the content free page is written: "To open this document, click on this link:" BUT THE LINK IS NOT PRESENT

This bug is new. It was perfectly working few weeks ago.

I tested it on April 6 after the closure of the bug MDL-9198 and all was working fine.

attached is the output of my investigation (in html format) about this error that is blocking courses because PDF resources are totally not available.

Tested, the problem is still present. Probably it is trivial to solve. Nicolas?

Nicolas, thanks for the report. Now I found how to reproduce the problem, and it appears when resource has missing description. So the issue would be changed to:

"missed link to pdf pages (when plugin is not present and keep navigation is true) when resource description is missing"

This should lead to two possible options to avoid problems:

1. keep the resource description mandatory (probably not very good)
2. when description is null, link text shall default to the resource name, which is already mandatory.

What do you think?

I am sorry, Petr. I just found it in 1.8 nightly. Why it didn't appear in this page that you made changes to 1.8 too?
