Preview Link Was Removed From Search Results

Hi Ralf,

When the site upgrade was done in late July, the link to PDF "preview" files in the search results was removed altho' there is still a link for people to "Play" audio files next to audio products in the search results.

I always upload a sample of my ebooks so people can see the Table of Contents and the first few pages of the book so they will know what it is about before they buy.

The "Preview" link, which used to show up next to my product in the search results, gave browsers the opportunity to take a look at the sample directly from the search results without going to the product listing page and served to set the products with a sample apart from the other listings.

Please add the "Preview" Link/button back to the search results for PDF samples!

TIA,
Tamara

You can see what I'm talking about in the image below.

Just a short note on this topic: we have not forgotten about you, the last week was just blocked with a lot of other work. I think Martin can add the preview link again during monday and I will ask him to do it or dive into the listing code myself!

Well, it is still not online, because I am on an exhibition at the moment! Give me some time, Martin is blocked with other coding stuff!

Yeah, martin and I started to fight on that and as it seems, he is against it... I am for it, so I have to implement it myself... as you saw on the blog: I was down with the flu the past few days and try to catch up now!

Also I'd like to see the feature of adding YouTube videos right after uploading a file, ie) in the page where we add Image/Mp3 after we assign our uploads. Right now we got to go to the Edit page and add Youtube videos there.

And even the button Add MP3/Video feature (the page after we assign an upload) is buggy, often times the upload fails.
