Could you tell me if its possible, and if so how I do it, to set this as a "read only" mod instead of a download?

For example, if someone clicks on a text file could it "open" as opposed to them downloading it?

Thanks for your help.

If you set the mimetype information (VB/admin/attachments) for text files to "Content-type: text/plain", then a simple left click on an entry which is a text file opens automatically in the browser window. This works correctly, as far as I can tell, with IE, Firefox and Opera.

However, the user can still force a "save as" using right click with the mouse, or by doing a "view source" and then save. You can disable the 'right click' menu by adding a bit of javascript to the page.

For example, if you edit clientscript/ldm_global.js and add these lines to the end:

document.oncontextmenu = function(){return false}
if(document.layers) {
    window.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEDOWN);
    window.onmousedown = function(e){
        if(e.target==document)return false;
    }
}
else {
    document.onmousedown = function(){return false}
}

then I think you'll disable the right click menu throughout LDM.
