Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] phpWebHosting terms

[Jason Wies]

There are two ways of viewing a document through phpwebhosting.

The first is to pass the filename to phpwebhosting, which will internally open 
the file and send it back to the browser for viewing.

The second is to provide a direct link to the file on the server 
(http://yoursite.com/phpgroupware/files/home/<username>/document).

Thus, "View documents on server (if available)" will default to the second 
method.  If the second method isn't available (usually because the admin moved 
the files directory outside the webroot, which is almost always recommended), 
then the first method will be used as a fallback.

If you're wondering, the detection simply compares the location of the files 
directory with the phpGroupWare root directory.  If the files directory is 
inside the root directory, viewing documents on the server is available.

Hope this helps,
